Level progress #24

As I come to the end of this assignment my main goal is to get the doors and windows finished. Once that's out the way I'll work on some more assets until we need to hand in.
Today my main goal was to get all the doors done and to fill the roof up and I did just that.
I have also made a handle for each door and a lock for the front and back doors.

At the moment I have just filled the roof with boxes just so the room doesn't look so empty. If I have enough time I may add some more assets to this room.

Well that's everything for now.

Level Progress #23

Today I have mainly been working on finishing the walls for my level and adding bump maps to different assets.
Today I finally finished all the walls for level, this is what it looks like from the outside and what it looks like from inside the roof.
I will be adding some assets to the roof If I have enough time.
This is what the kitchen looks like at the moment with bump maps added.
I have also added some stairs and a small platform outside of the house I think I will be adding a railing if I have enough time.
I have also added a stair rail upstairs today but I will show that off in the next blog post.

Well that's everything for now.

Level Progress #22

After trying out different styles for the teenager's room. I have finally picked something that I actually really like.
This room is now complete for the time being. I really want to come back to this room though at some point just because the room itself is looking pretty bare and could do with a few more assets.
Today I finally finished the Hallway and It's looking great. I will be adding some more assets at a later date If I have the time.
Today I've also finished the lift room, I have gone for a messy old look. I'm really happy with the way this room is looking.
Once I finished all the rooms in the house I started on the roof, I'm having a few problems but It's not looking too bad. I also need to work on the mapping on each part of the roof.
Tomorrow I am hoping to either get the roof done or getting close to finishing it.

Well that's everything for now.

Level Progress #21

For the teenager's room I was going for a black and white look but after trying different textures I just didn't like the way It was going so the idea has been scraped.
So I've gone for a stripped wallpaper look, just like the one in the hallways. I'm still not 100% sure If I'm going to keep this texture on the wall but for now it'll do.
I also finished the little sisters room today. I'm pretty happy with how this room looks, I'm thinking of adding some more assets to this room If I have the time.
While I have been working on the bedrooms I have also been working on the upstairs hallway which is nearly complete.

Well that's everything for now.

Level Progress #20

Today I started to work on the teenagers bedroom. At the moment I'm just testing out different textures just to see what goes and what doesn't. I didn't spent too much time on the teenagers bedroom though because I wanted to start on the upstairs hallway.
Today I added a floor to the upstairs hallway, which I did have some trouble with but in the end I got it sorted. I've also added two new walls.
Today I finally textured the staircase. I was going to do this at a later date but It has been bugging me seeing that It's the only object downstairs that hasn't been textured.

Well thats everything for now.

Level Progress #19

My target yesterday was to finish the hallway downstairs and the master bedroom but due to a few scaling issues, most of my time was spent fixing them. In the end I only got chance to finish the hallway.
I will be adding some assets to the hallway once all the rooms have been textured.
Today I finally got round to finishing the master bedroom. Once I've finished texturing all the rooms I think I will be adding some more assets to this room.
I also finished the upstairs bathroom, It's pretty much the same as the downstairs bathroom so this room didn't take that long to finish.
This is what the upstairs of the level looks like at the moment.

Well that's everything for now.

Level Progress #18

Today I have carried on texturing the walls of my level starting with the downstairs bathroom. I'm really happy with this room. I have added a roughness map to the walls and the floor to give it that shiny effect.
I have also been working on the box room. I wanted to give this room more of a creepy look by adding old ripped wallpaper, tall boxes and the doll himself.

Well that's everything for now.

Level Progress #17

Today I have mainly been working on the walls and adding roughness maps to different assets on the level.
As you can see in this picture I have been testing out roughness maps on the assets in my kitchen, I feel like some of them need toning down a little but apart from that it's looking pretty good.
I have also been doing the same for my living room like you can see in this picture on the right.
Today I have mainly been working on the study room by adding the floor, walls and roughness maps to most of the assets. I'm really happy with how this room has turned out.
I still feel like some of the assets need toning down just because there just a little too shiny but apart from that this room is looking great.

Well thats everything for now.

Level Progress #16

Today has been a really productive day. I have finally started to texture the walls for my level.
I textured the walls for the living room and I got most of the kitchen done. For the kitchen I still need to finish off one of the walls and I want to redo the floor.
This is what the living room looks like at the moment I still need to texture the ceiling and I want to add a bump map to the floor but I will be doing all of this at a later date.
I also did the blueprint for the lift today so now the player can get onto the roof. I still need to make a blueprint so that the lift goes back down but I will be doing this at a later date.

Well that's everything for now.

Level Progress #15

Today I've worked on getting the lift and the stair rail textured. I have also added a bump map to these assets and I have to say I'm really happy with how they're looking. Over the next couple of days I want to start adding bump maps to all the assets within the level.
Even though the past two days have only been small updates, over the weekend I want to get the blueprint done so that the player can use the lift to get into the roof and start texturing some of the walls.

Well that's everything for now.

Level Progress #13

Today has been pretty laid back when it comes to the progress of the level, I have made some small updates such as adding taps to the bathroom sink and bathtub.
The bathroom is now complete for the time being, I may add a cupboard and a mirror at a later date.
Today I have also been blocking out the windows in the house to give me a better idea on where I'll have them once I start building the walls in 3DS Max.

Well that's everything for now.

Level Progress #12

Today I have mainly been working on the assets for my level. All that is left to do for the kitchen is the tap, For the kitchen tap I just reused the tap that I made in my first assignment when we had to make a room in 3DS Max.
I also did the same for my ceiling light, I have added these lights around the level. At the moment I think they're a little too bright but this can be changed at a later date.
Today I finally textured the oven, this means that the kitchen is now complete.
In the next couple of days all the main assets for the level should be done so then I can focus on making the walls, bump maps etc.

Well that's everything for now.

Thanks for reading,

Level Progress #11

Today I have been working on a few different assets. I'm now coming to a point where I have build nearly all the assets that are needed for my level.
There only three rooms at the moment that I need to work on which are the bathroom, kitchen and the roof. Today I have made a new counter top which has a sink which will be under the kitchen window.
I have also been working on the bathroom today by adding a toilet, for the most part this room is now complete but I may add a mat at a later date.
I have also added a mat to the middle of the living room, like the bathroom this room is now complete unless I add something later on depending on the time I have left.
I have also modeled an oven today, I will be texturing this tomorrow so the completed model will be in tomorrows post.

Well thats everything for now.

Thanks for reading,

Daniel Bibby.

Level Progress #10

Today I have mainly been working on the walls for the living room. I was planning on doing the floor as well but I didn't have enough time.
Everything went alright for the most part, the only problem I have had is that the plane isn't double sided for some reason, I have tried to fix this problem but I just couldn't figure it out so I've just been using two for the time being.
As you can see in this picture, you can't see the plain from the other side.
I have also made two assets today which are the plug and the light switch, I have placed these around the house. I was planning on doing more assets today but the living room took longer than I expected.

Well that's everything for now.

Level Progress #9

Now that I have completed the character concepts assignment. I am planning on working on my level nearly every day until hand in.
Today I have mainly been working on modelling and texturing assets.
Today my main goal was to get most of the bathroom done and i did just that. I textured the bathtub and modeled and textured the sink. I'm going to try and model and texture the toilet tomorrow.
Once I completed these assets I changed a few things around and did some more blocking.
Today I have made some small touches to the kitchen by moving the counters around. These might get moved again once I add a window in.
Today I have also been blocking out the roof of the house. I will be finishing this later on down the line when I start making the walls for the house.
I have also started to block out a lift that will allow the player to get onto the roof, I'm going to try and get this blueprint to work either tomorrow or the day after.

Well thats everything for now.
