Getting started..
Week three in an eight week production is coming to and end. These weeks have been productive yet scary in a way, since it is very hard to tell if you are on the right track both with the game as a whole and with your time schedule.
My role in this new Amenti Game is primarily two things. I am the lead designer, which means planning the mechanics of the game, the feeling of the ”fun” of the game is on me. […]

BGP – Day 18
A day of unclean… animation A day of unclean… animation
So today I got all the animations into the animation program and dusted them of just enough so that they can be imported to the engine as soon as possible. Also a lot of my time was spent on trying to connect my computer to our server/unreal project. Which is where our whole project will be accessed and worked through. Above you can see the character come alive. That was all, take care!

Logo and handmade textures
The last few days I’ve been working on texturing a well and learning more about unity what you need to do with materials to make your handpainted textures show in unity in the same way they look like in substance painter. In unity we’ve had this problem that they look kinda grayish and not so good, it took some time to find the thing that made this problem, which was the ”specular highlights” option that was ticked in. When unticking […]

The Summoning 01
I’m part of a group that will develop this game for the course Big Game Project. I’m the lead artist in this group and the game that I’m working on is called The Summoning.
The Summoning is a top-down perspective 3D game that will pitch players against each other in an environment of asymmetrical gameplay. The game combines some of the mechanics of a real time strategy game and an action adventure. It is set in a fictional world inspired by […]

BGP – Day 17
A day of cleaning
During this day we went to the office to set up our server, which is a computer we all will connect our own computers to, this server will help us work on the same project. Also I Imported all the animations to motionbuilder but some problems appeared and haven’t been solved yet. Most of the day was went into looking into those problems and helping the programmers with some of the particle effects and other questions. We […]

Big Game Project Post 2
With my role in this project being the lead animator it isn’t all that surprising that most of my time has been spent with our main character and the many animations he needs for the finished game. Much of that time was spent trying to work out the various little difficulties that tends to arise when someone deals with software one is not an expert with. Seeing as our game is made with 3d assets we and mostly i get […]

BGP – Day 16
Subtle glow
On my last post I mentioned working on the animations, that didn’t happen since the character had to be re-skinned. Therefore I cleaned up the material for the hand a little more, where I added some variation to the emissive, now it increase and decrease over time. Here is what it looks like now.

Project Blog 1
Let’s start this one back up again.
In the upcoming weeks this will be the place to find updates on my current work with the project currently known as Alien Station.
I will act as the Leading Artist on the project witch gives me responsibility for the over all look of the end product.
Concept
The concept for the game is that it will be a story driven sci-fi adventure about a human being dragged in to a mystery with conspiracy and strange characters […]

BGP – Day 15
After Easter Work
This week it’s mostly about animations and the first step to get our captured motions into proper animations is to clean the motion capture data in the program we are using, called Motive. The cleaning involves watching the different tracking markers and see if any of them disappear. This can happen if they are getting occluded by a body part or if they are confused as being another marker. This is fixed by either re-labeling them to their actual […]

Part 1: I’m not a character artist
I have always found people annoying as they enter the stage saying ”I am not a speaker but…”. Of course you are a speaker, you are doing it right now in front of a crowd. There is this general idea that you have to excuse yourself because in your own eyes you’ve not yet achieved a level of excellence in that particular area.
This is where I am currently at. I am working on the project ”Rune Mages” as a 3D […]

Cat tree (2017-04-17)
Today the second production week started and I’ve made a blog for our game, somniumgameblog.wordpress.com, and a facebook page also called Somnium to the GGC submision on friday. I’ve also started writing things to that submission and thinking about what pictures we can use on the blog and facebook page before we open it for the public.
I’ve also done a cat tree, yes you read it right, a cat tree. It’s a tree but with cats. This is one of […]

Neon Skies
Week 3
Hello! My name is Erik Levin and I am in the second year of the Game Design, Graphics, program at Uppsala University, Campus Gotland.
Im working on a game called Neon Skies.
As i mentioned last week. The mesh was ready for skinning/weight painting and rigging. These where the tasks that was my main focus this week.
Weight painting is when you colour how much or how little, movements in one joint will influence the mesh. So as you can se in […]
