BGP – Day 35

Continue to learn Houdini FX
Today I spent the rest of my time learning Houdini, which is great and I really like the program. Since it will enable me to render out nice smoke and fire textures to use in our game. BUT, the only free version that I can use is the Houdini Apprentice version. Which doesn’t allow me to render out pictures over a certain size, so it’s hard to make 8×8 grid texture without going over that size. […]

Refracted Fate: A Ray of Hope

So we changed the name of the game. That aside, I’ve finished textures for every vent in the game, something I’ve worked at for a while. The pipes are supposed to come off as rusty and old, but also robust.



While I faced some difficulties with certain faces not wanting to show up, this time I could solve that much easier and quicker than last time.



That is not all that’s been done. I’ve also improved […]

BGP Three: Some scripting.

For taking on the role of technical artist, I believe it’s essential to at least learn some coding basics. That way you can understand what’s going on behind the scenes, so to speak. This will also ease the workload of the programmers as you can create some basic scripts yourself.
In our game, we have a toy police car that needs a spinning light. This doesn’t need any external controllers or managers because it will always spin no matter what. This means […]

Amenti – 5

This week I’ve mostly been working on feedback and also a lot on making our mechanics work in the Main Level. The Main Level is the scene where all final things are implemented. When working on new things that will be implemented we work in our own levels that are just copies of the orginal one since new mechanics/assets often needs iteration and when that is done we’re allowed to implement those in the main level.
So what happened this week […]

BGP – Day 34

Animation and back to fire
Though you might think I was done with the animations, well we left one since it required a prop. The lever animation, which has already been finished I just haven’t exported it for the beta playtest. And we had a discussion of not including the animation since it would have to lock the player into place every time they where going to pull the lever. Which we decided would make it very repetitiv since the players […]

So i kindoff stumbled in to being the level designer of this game by being the one who had to learn how to make a race track.
In the tart we figured we would make a tile system for track and enviroments, this seemed like a […]
