Cooley

So, not much to say here. This is the demon character, some texturing done. not 100%, just been kinda hopping around the model refining a little bit at a time, legs are the most unfinished. Been mostly trying to design/basemodel pedestal ideas that showcase a little environment/asset prowess now that i have an extra quarter to work with it.

Tara's scenes

Late I know...but I'm posting? Gonna get a couple hours rest, since I haven't been feeling well today, and finish up the victorian one tomorrow.

I just redid the lighting, too dark? It definitely has mood now though. Some objects are still untextured, I plan to do those tomorrow. I plan to add little flames atop the candles and throw some wood and flames in the fireplace.


I did all the touch ups on my list except the faking of caustics, I also changed the beginning camera move, if u want me to show that I can playblast it.

As for the Lumberjack, there were minor tweaks so I'm going to start rendering that scene now as I sleep.

Slipcase

So, this is my DVD slipcase. Took me all day to make, and is 600dpi, so it should print out super awesome. Even took a photo of myself and made it look old tyme. Lemme know if any of this is too much, or over the top.

Bidness card

Made a business card last night. This is gonna also be the style of my cd cover, so I wanted to make sure I had the old victorian ad feel.

Also captured gameplay footage of the shipping level that Jack Carr designed, so now I can put that in instead of just a flythrough. Next thing to do is redo some cameras, title cards and cd sleeve design. fun!

update



just an update for this week. Need to get wireframe in....I have a third scene in progress but it's too bare, so I'll be omitting that out of this review and include in my low poly car with a small environment instead. Any idea how to turn off the matinee camera or the near/far clipping wireframes within the editor mode so I can capture videos without having wireframes around?

Keegan - Kobolds vs Humans UDK

This is the game we created in game prototyping. It shows some custom game functions in UDK. This video is just a draft again. I think its too long.

Keegan - Headcase UDK

This is Headcase. Its hard to make a good video of yourself playing a game...

Still need halp


Okay, so I'm STILL Having that weird matinee problem with the cameras. I've emailed a few folks, posted a few posts in forums, so lets hope I hear back.

Just wanted to give a progress shot. Today was kind of a big day, cause I started working on the turntable. This is the turntable for my Helicopter. Looks fantastic I think. And I experimented until I found a way to do wireframes, which is a bitch, and really innificient, but it aughta work.

I should also note, that the wireframe looks really bad right now, but that's because UDK is forcing crappy compression on the textures I'm using for wireframes. I hope to have that figured out soon.

So bam.

Don't hold me back, mang!

Sooo I've run into a peculiar problem with UDK involving cameras. Seems as soon as I animate one, close the matinee editor, then reopen it, all the tracks along which my cameras move become completely borked. Got any ideas?
