Building a wall texture

In this workshop we were tasked to create a wall texture but first we had to model a wall in Maya. We used extrusion modelling as the primary modelling technique: we started by using the create polygon tool and drawing the rough side view of the wall we want to texture. Once we have got […]

Building Night level in Unreal

To start the creation of my level in Unreal i first made a 7×7 landscape to create the playable space and floor. The grass texture I made was then added with another ground text so in the material i used the lerp tool and managed to create a non-repeating texture therefore making it look more […]

Modelling a Barrel

The lesson revolved around creating a barrel asset for our asset packs. The main modelling started with form a cylinder polygon, then adding edge loops to make the basic shape. Then I manipulated the edge loops to create the straps on the barrel by extruding the faces that were the corresponding faces that resemble the […]

Modelling a Grass Tuft

Modelling a grass tuft To model a grass tuft we made the canvass 2048 x 20480 to give us a canvass to the power of 2. we drew grass in illustrator using the pen tool and manipulated the anchor points to create the curves.
