3D/2D CHARACTER AND ENVIRONMENT (PORTING AND TESTING)

INSTRUCTIONS

You are to build your character and props in 3D and to be tested in Unreal/Unity game engine. Rigging for character can be done in Actor Core Accurig or in Blender. Textures for both character and props can be created with substance painter. As for props we will be evaluating the hero assets and medium sized asset. Each assets will be ported and tested in the game engine.


I had learnt to do uv map from the high poly model in zbrush but it seems cannot use.

Fig 1.6 Trying to Import To Unity

Fig 1.7 Character Poses and Action

Fig 1.8 Testing UI in Photoshop

Fig 1.9 Arranging Layout

Fig 1.10 Character Turnaround




FEEDBACK
Week 7: Too many contrast, maybe play around another two character.

Week 10: Test actual UI in Photoshop. Refine, proper design and weapon.

REFLECTION

Due to the high polycount in my modeling and the limited time, I wasn't very skilled at retopology, so I used ZRemesher to reduce the polycount. I'm not sure if I reduced it too much, but the result wasn't ideal. When I imported the FBX file into Substance Painter, the sword's hilt was only half there. I tried using "Close Holes" and Blender's "Clean Up" but couldn't figure out the cause, so I could only view a rough version in Substance Painter. My computer couldn't open Unreal, so I used Unity instead. The model displayed, but for some reason, it showed up in fluorescent pink. Due to time constraints, I wasn't able to complete perfect texturing and porting, but I will continue to study and improve my skills in Substance Painter and game engines.

Gestalt principles aim to show how complex scenes can be reduced to more simple shapes. Principle of similarity : The brain crafts a link between elements of a similar nature. Principle of continuation : The human eye prefers to see a continuous flow of visual elements rather than separated objects. Principle of closure : The human eye will fill in missing visual information when the shape is incomplete. Principle of proximity : The process of ensuring related design elements are placed together . Principle of figure/ground : Objects are in the foreground or the background . Law of symmetry & order : This law states that elements that ar...

Character to have props that will further support characters persona and adds visual narrative of its nature. Sculpture should stand on a platform and retopoed. Lighting to be further enhanced and final renders to then be retouched in photoshop or ad digital painting tool. Below are the required breakdowns list: Collective shots rendered to show components in details Final render to be polished and presented on a potrait sized image. Printable high res.  Final poster with an appealing layout. Baked texture sheet  Projection to low-poly model  Character turntable Note that in the end you will form a collective pdf that con...

I have gained an understanding of how to analyze others' works, comprehend design concepts, and implement the knowledge gained in my own creations.  I enjoy the process of creation, exploring different mediums and techniques to express my ideas, which I find immensely enjoyable. Experimenting with various design methods leaves me feeling fulfilled and happy. However, compared to the hands-on aspect of creating designs, I find the theoretical aspects of design, such as learning design principles, somewhat dull and obscure. Although these theoretical aspects are important, they can...
