Common Art 'F' Stage

For this stage in the creation of our common art experience, I was tasked with creating a blockout of our main character: red riding hood. I chose to poly model rather than sculpt out the character, as I felt it fit better with our selected art style.

Here is the wireframe of Red, she is 19,496 triangles.


Here is Red in engine with a mid-gray material:



I did also do textures for Red in Substance, there was no high -> low baking involved as I just used the model I had made.

Cannon Blockout

For this weeks assignment I blocked out the cannon and imported it into Unreal, making a basic lighting setup for later renders. Here is my render in Unreal:


Here is my wireframe render, done in Blender:

The cannon is currently 2,722 triangles.

This is my attempt at camera matching in Maya, I unfortunately could not get fspy to work properly with Maya.


Here is the reference I used:

Stickers!

Cricut design layout:

I decided to make a new pass over of my design from the shapes around. I decided to do something a little silly, and make the colors of the wolf the same as death from puss in boots 2! :] I think next time I try printing these I'll definitely need to lighten up the colors though, some of them got darkened to the point of their visibility being low.

UVs (2048 x 2048 texture):




I had a lot of fun with the end part of this project! Unfortunately I couldn't go back and sculpt in some of the details that I missed, and some areas were not fully touched painting-wise. My uvs look a little odd because some of the chest parts are mirrored, such as the antlers, head, and legs. Definitely planning on coming back to do more polish later if possible!

Animation State Machine

To start off the assignment, I created my animation and character blueprints for the Quinn character. Most everything was already set up, such as the input mapping. The only input that wasn't fully functional was the jump function, and I set that up using enhancedgameinputs and called it in the character blueprint.



After everything was setup, I created the state machine, adding conditions for idle to jump and back, run to idle, etc. Jumping utilized the isFalling variable I created in order to tell if the character was in a falling state or not.



Here is a video of everything working!

Use of Composition assignment

Starting from a screenshot I got within one of our LD's blockout maps, I then matched up the camera of my screenshot to the camera in Blender using fspy.





Once I imported my fspy camera, I began blocking out my composition by importing Gabe's wolf totem to use as a marker for the teleporter. After this I created trees that could be placed around the area, added lighting, and used Blender's cycles render engine to get my results:



Then I took my render into photoshop, coloring over it, sticking more to Journey's style of simplistic, toon shading.

Wayfinder Chest pt.2

After prepping the mesh to to into Zbrush from Blender, I began sculpting on the mesh, following along with the sculpting renders on ArtStation. I unfortunately was only able to do one pass for each mesh, and missed a couple along the way while doing so; such as the hinges on the back. Here is my BPR render for the current state of the chest:



Once I was done in Zbrush I then transferred the mesh over to Blender for retopology with retopoflow. Generally trying to establish silhouette first, I then made smaller cuts along the mesh to capture any smaller details. I also was unable to finish the low poly, and was unable to get to uving. The current triangle count for the retopology is 4,272 triangles, here is how it looks thus far:
