Demonic Jungle Temple Video

Here I've uploaded my video of the jungle temple level I worked on along with Tim Went (http://teejaedubart.blogspot.com.au/), I've added a background tribal-like theme to cut the silence as the level never had any sound added. The video starts with a well presented camera flythrough then followed by a test build showing you how the first person camera interacts within the environment and some closer looks at the background objects. It consists of mainly prefabs and was built with a strict scale and geometry code. The assets i worked on are in a previous post. Hope you enjoy it.

Tank Game: Background Assets Presentation

Finally all the assets are presented with a full texture render and a wire frame low poly mesh display. Mentioned earlier the main tank has it's textured applied, but here you can see the object in it's un-textured form, just with all the other objects as well. Most of them turned out as expected, I think i should've spent more time on the diffuse map of the enemy tank by adding the same scratch marks, but at the same time it looks clean and majestic, kinda like with a typical game story where the bad guys work for a majestic company with a big boss of some sort, they have all the tricks of the trade while you're the protagonist covered in dents, scratches and bruises etc. Background vehicles were added to the scene, just to fill the background as the name states but are also target practice at the starting stage of the game, i kept them low detailed since they're not the primary focus. Damaged forms were added, this way it can be indicated that they have been destroyed, at one point with the test build of the game when things were destroyed the only indication was a fire particle that appears on the object, but it would retain the same appearance and stop animating. The rest of the assets where not completely planned, but were for the sole purpose of filling the background, however the sand bags were a last minute addition because when turrets (made by someone else) were placed in the scene it didn't make sense not having barricades. Time was minimally spent on those sand bags as they were pretty simple to make, the texture was generated by a tile-able texture of canvas applied in Zbrush using the surface noise deform-er. Most enjoyable was the junk pile, while the objects were everyday and somewhat mundane boxes with little to no color, there was a level of abstract to it which i enjoyed, also the fact that i'm making a 3D model of an unattractive object which feels somewhat pleasurable (because we all want to model superheroes and fast cars). It is indeed not a rubbish thing to do (no pun intended) but making objects which most people wouldn't do seems to be a fun thing for me. This was quite some fun, i knew nothing of tanks when i made these, but learnt a fair bit on their anatomies,  and add to that a variety of real life objects such as fences and plants, i made an alpha map, i made a vehicle, i made rubble. I shall conclude with the presenting.

The main star of the game, i hope to do more renders and snapshots of this and have it featured as a masterpiece.

The textures took so much room in this presentation slide, so i've added a standalone render combined with wireframe below for a closer look.....

And here's the junk pile at a closer glance, possibly the background piece i enjoyed modelling the most

So i hope you enjoyed looking at my 3D models, i hope to continue modelling things and improving my quality of art. I hope to make tile-able texture packs of varying game genres, and to also model objects for not just games, but also simulation purposes as well. Thanks for viewing.

Junk Pile Modeled in Maya

To fill up the scene a bit more, i have modeled and textured a pile of junk, i can add this to the series of game assets I've made previously (please check my earlier posts) so that i can duplicate them, manipulate then place them until i have a bit of a landscape scene to play with. I started by making a cubic rectangular shaped mesh (a box), added divisions then used the modify topology tool in Maya to get the a little bit crooked (Very low brush strength). I would have there variations of these then duplicate them until i have a messy looking pile. I made a dome that sits under the top layer of boxes so that i can bake the illusion of a messy pule onto it, i kept the outer layer of boxes as part of the low poly model as you will see below. Everything else was pretty simple, the Tyre needed a bit of work, i duplicated a box looking mesh and then lined them up, combined meshes then added a bend deform-er to it. I'd then make the bend 180 so that it becomes circular, then have that floating on the outside of a low poly 'donut' or torus shape. This would be baked on.Check the images below:

Scene setup: Background assets put together to make a game setting

Together the assets i've worked on go well into a post apocalyptic setting, i have used sculpt geometry in Maya to modify the car into looking crushed and wrecked. I gave it a new color texture to make it look burnt and dirty. I have used the fence in the previous post, but the new assets here are the rusty road signs. The Ground texture is not mine, it is "Seamless dirt texture by hhh316" (http://hhh316.deviantart.com/art/Seamless-dirt-texture-163426021). I shall give credit. I hope to do a render turntable of this scene anytime soon, i'll have to retrieve some concrete barriers i made which got lost in a system wipeout (my project leader may have copies). Nevertheless, here's another display scene.

Tribal Temple Player Build

Tribal Temple

You Will Need Unity on Your Computer to play this build. If you have the Free Version it should still function. This is a standalone environment, the main idea is to explore and have a look at all the assets and features.
