Level and Character Progress #7

This week I have finally started to work on some of the walls and floors in my level. I have been working on the little sisters room and the big brothers bedrooms. I found this a pain to do but after 5-6 hours I got both rooms done.

Next week I'm planning on texturing the walls and floors for the Master bedroom and maybe the Kitchen.

For the most part the little sisters room is now completed I just need to add bump maps and lighting and it will be finished.
This is the same with the big brothers room. apart from, I still need to finish some assets for this room like a computer chair and some smaller assists to bring the room to life. At the moment I'm using one of the sample chair from the program.
I have also been working on the kitchen this week. At the moment I have modeled some kitchen chairs, kitchen table and some counter tops which have also been textured. I have the fridge and cupboards blocked out and ready to texture for next week.

The only problems I am having with this room at the moment is that I think I've got the scaling wrong with the counter tops so I think I will be re-sizing them next week. I have also been having trouble with making the corner counter fit in place but that's something else that I'm planning on fixing next week.
This week I have been working on the blueprint for my hero character 'Dude Danger' I'm really happy on the way this has turned out. For next week I'm going to try and have my Alien Blueprint completed.

Well that's everything for now.

Level and Character Progress #6

This week I have been working on the bedrooms on my level and some blueprints for my character designs.
For the master bedroom I have added some drawers, (which can also been seen in my 3D Portfolio post) I have also added a picture frame and I have changed the scale on the bed and the table due to them being far too tall.
There is still a lot of work that needs to go into this room but I have left this room for the time being to work on other rooms in the level.
The room you see here is the big brother's room. I have reused some of the assets in this room like the computer desk, bed table. drawers and the bookcase. I will be adding more to this room at a later date.
The last room that I worked on this week was the little sister's room. I have done the same here and reused some of my assets.
This room has a story behind it, the pictures on the wall by the bed are different drawings of the doll 'Jack' which have been drawn by the little sister who is called Lucy. In this room there is a picture frame on the drawers which is a picture of the doll Jack. lets just say, there's a couple of different Easter eggs in this room alone.
We're coming to the end of the character design unit so this week I have been working on Data the sidekick, I have been working on a blueprint. I will be doing one of these for the Alien and the Hero as well.

Well that's everything for now.

Level and Character Progress #5

This week I have started to work on the master bedroom. So far I have added a bed which has been textured and some small draws beside it.

This week I have also blocked out some of my Kitchen which I might try and start next week.

I have also added an Easter egg within the level which has something to do with the doll which can be found in the living room.

This week I have also been working on some final character designs. This week I have mainly been working on the alien and the sidekick.

For a change I have used textures and overlays on these designs. This has made these designs look much better. 

Well thats everything for now.

Thanks for reading,

Level and Character Progress #4


This week I have started on the Living room of the house. I have added the following:

  • A bookcase and books which can also be seen in the study.
  •  A TV which is a scaled up monitor. At some point i may remodel this and also add a wall bracket. 
  • A small table which will be used for a TV box, console, notes or books. 
  • I have also added a few creepy looking picture frames to the study and the living room. 
  • Lastly I have modeled and textured a sofa.
I will be added more to the living room next week.



Dude Danger
This week will I have been focusing on finishing up some character concepts. I have mainly been working on the Hero 'Dude Danger' and the sidekick 'Data'. My goal this week was to get at least two of the characters concepts completed, which I have achieved.
I will be working on the Alien concept next week and a few thumbnails to give me an idea on how the final piece will look.
Data




Well that's everything for now.
