Frozen's things of random things.

So yeah. As some of you may know, im doing computer game design at uni (am at final year) so have been fairly busy with that. working on a number of different projects for the different assignments. this is just a way to share some of the works in progress of mine and hopefully get some feedback as well.

first one is a subway tunnel scene. It's going to be a subway tunnel with lighting/electricals etc. originally i was going to build a model of a train, but time constraints mean i wont get a chance to. instead, im going to add an environmental factor to it- An earthquake rocks the tunnel and collapses it. (still building that). I was going to build the entire scene, but then decided to apply some of my methods i used to use for freelancer modding here- i built it fully modular. this means less work for me to do in terms of models as well as textures.

here is a quick render showing the tunnel's progress so far:

Another project is a space ship im building. So far i just started off with the basic shape for it- it's meant to be an interceptor/scout class fighter, hence the flimsy/light build of the ship. I still have to add a bit more detail, but the general shape of the ship is more or less complete. here's a couple pictures:

For team project me and my team are working on a mobile endless runner style game (think- temple run, giant boulder of death), and are hoping to have a build out on android/apple store out soon, so will link that here for you guys to download/beta test and give feedback on. we're working on the UI, final polish and some more detail work plus chunk generation currently since we have a deadline of a month to get all our shit done by lol.

finally, there is one more thing im doing- I have to build a level in UDK for one of the assignments. this was a chance for me to test and practice texture painting from scratch, because i usually do photo manipulation instead of hand-painting texture since im not that great at hand painting. Not sure if you've heard of a plugin called "nDo2" for photoshop, it allows the creation of normal maps etc, making life much easier to add detail without having to model/sculpt it into a high poly model itself. i used this -alot- to create the textures for this project. here are a few screenshots (these are a bit old though, ill post updated ones when i get home tomorrow and can take em:

this was the first test when i put it in marmoset toolbag 2 (rendering software basically) to get a feel for the normal maps and ambient occlusion maps to ensure they were done correct before i started painting the diffuse maps:

so yeah. thats it for now. i'll update this as i get a chance. feedback is definitely appreciated.

I didn't read the whole post but everything you're making looks really good for your first year!

You should post some before-after shots for when you're wrapping up and getting close to graduating.

With that better focus on architecture design studies.

Well more like I'm guna be focussing on level and environment design since that's what I want to specialize in. The renders of the subway are a bit oldw I'll post updated renders soon as I get a chance. Life's been a bit shaky lately so progress of work has been a tad slow.

The spaceship is low poly atm in that render though I'm adding more detail and making a high poly version to add bake down to a low poly version currently for the normal and ambient occlusion map

The level with the corridor is just an assignment where I have to produce something for a grade or I'd fail which is why I haven't put much effort into it lol

Can't really comment on the relative quality of those, but they look good to me. Grab a lassi or something, you done good.
