BGP week 8

Week 8
Putting together the last props, tweaking lighting and post process in all levels.
Banner:
The idea behind the banner was to give an Indiana jones feel to the banner, by having the main/player character walk towards the temple. Giving to give the player an urge to explore.

I made this using one layer except the layer with the color.

BGP Week 7

Week 7
The week went to start putting everything together and to replace the last placeholder meshes and textures.
 Beta feedback:
The feedback we received during the beta, where that the game was too dark. Mist in the corridor to the wind level. There was also some problem with the lighting in the Central hub area.
Based on the feedback from the beta we decided change so that all levels now are in separate levels and the player teleports into the levels. Before everything […]

BGP Week 6

This week my task was to start implementing the graphical assets we have created. I started first to put together the wind themed level, based on feedback from this weeks “quality time” meeting with the teachers, we decided to make the wind level to be more vertical. Now the new wind level got more height differences in the pillars.  The idea was to make the pillar platforms like a city.

After that I helped the texture artist with creating a tillable wall and floor texture. I also worked on blocking out colors on props that needed to be textured, meaning that for the alpha they would have […]

Distance based tessellation
This week I tried to create a material in unreal engine 4 with adjustable tessellation height based on the position of the object and the […]
