Small Touches

For the past couple of days I've just been adding small touches to my sword shop.
Since last time I have been working on different assets to fill the room up. I have made some sword cabinets, some posters, a sword and a dagger.

Today I have been working on the skirting-boards, coving and the door frame.

This is what the sword shop looks like at the moment. There is still a lot of work to do but It's looking a lot better than I expected.
In the next couple of weeks I want to have the following done:

• Fill up the sword cabinets
• Windows
• Window frames
• Door with a trigger
• NPC 

Well that's everything for now.

The Start Of A New Project

This week I have started my small town by making four small shops.
The shops are going to be the following:

• Sword Shop
• Shield Shop
• Staff Shop
• General Store

If I have enough time I'm going to work on some more building but for now this is what I'll be working on.

This is what the room looks like so far, I've textured the walls and the floor and added in two assets, a normal table and a display table which will show off some of the swords.

Well that's everything for now, I should have some more updates in the next couple of days but till then, thanks for reading.

Project Videos

This year I have worked on three different projects for my degree. My plan was to show off my work in a video for each project. So far I have made a video for the first and the second project. I'm planning on doing the third at a later date. When I've made the video for my third project which is my level I will make a updated post. 

Please make sure to check out both videos and leave me some feedback, thanks!

Well that's everything for now.

Thanks for checking out my videos,

The Break and What's Next?

Since I finished my level, I have taken some time off working so that I can have some time to myself and relax for a few weeks.

In that time I have worked on some drawings like the ones you can see here, There nothing special just cartoon drawings what I normally work on in my spare time. With the Crash Bandicoot and Sonic drawing I did test out some overlays on Photoshop to see what works and what doesn't. I found that using overlays made this drawing look much better.

After nearly three weeks I'm finally thinking about working on a project over the summer till I go back to college for the second year of my degree.

At the moment I'm thinking about doing a medevil town and building upon it over time. I want to make a town like Varrock from the game Runescape.

Here is a simple floor plan of what I want to do over the summer. Last night I did start out the blocking out process on unreal but I'll show some screenshots at a later date. At the moment I just want to work on four different shops and maybe add something in the middle of the town. If I have enough time I will expand on this but for now this is just an idea.

Well that's everything for now.

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.
