Games Art: Winter Project Part 8

Finally the uving is done ! I did have to send the strip into Zbrush and re-mesh it slightly to make my job easier but it still looks good even slightly better actually, as well as that i finished of the UV's for the front guard protectors it looks great and i cant wait to get it in to xNormal and get my maps ready for Quixel Suite.

An update for my uving, I now have the bars to away i want them finally they are looking good now and i reckon i will get the right amount of detail out them, I also deiced to change the maps for the helmet base slightly just so they would not have a seem going through the middle of it. I have got the spikes to a good place as well and the strip is look better but still giving me major problems, i will just have to stick at it but i might end up importing it in to zbrush to re mesh it so it is a bit smoother and easier to map out.

Games Art: Winter Project Part 6

Still uving my model i want to make sure that i can get the best maps from them because i was really happy with my high so i want to do it justice. I've changed the mapping for the bars and its getting somewhere reasonable but the the top strip is still giving me trouble as the mesh is a little screwed form when i lowered the mesh in Zbrush.

After i was happy with my high-poly model i re-imported the highest division in to Maya as my another save of my high-poly then i took the lowest division out as my low poly, now all i have to do is UV map the whole low model, easier said than done. Now I have gotta a start to the uv'ing mapping some of them are looking good but others defiantly  need changing like the bars and the strip on the top of the helmet. Other than that its going pretty well and its good to practice cause i have not done uv mapping in a long time.

Now with the model finished i brought it in to Zbrush to add some extra detail to really make it look real. At first i just want to make the outside pieces like the bars and wings rusty as they would be made of a thinner metal then i went on the make the base of the helmet have some rust/scratches/cut marks and personal details which the player/ wearing of the helmet to make it there own. After the small details added some bumps and dents in the helmet to show the real impact of the hits and punches you get in the game, trying to make it look like the helmet has seen some action, the helmet of a veteran. I tired to make it stay along the lines of the dirty, girty game which is Blood Bowl, there are no rules and the pitch is an area of death and i wanted the helmet to give off the personality of a player in this game would be like. I am really happy with the final high poly model it looks awesome ! defiantly my best work so far, i cant wait to finish this project and see it in all its glory in Unreal 4.
These pictures are previews of the helmet from all angles in different materials to show different levels of detail and texture.

Game Design: Winter Submission Catchup

I wasn't sure whether i should be uploading my games project on my personal blog as well as the team blog i figured there was no harm in it so i will be uploading progress on my game on here as well now. These screen shots are examples of the game so far which were tested yesterday in the peer assessment session i will be uploading the feedback form later in the week as well.
In the game so far i have put a teleporter which allows the player to reach each room and move backwards and forwards between all rooms, also when the player moves from each room the camera moves to the room you are in as well.

Zbrush Lesson 5: Bee Subtool

In todays lesson we had slight problem with that robin had to go to a meeting during our lesson so we were just running through subtools again which was actually really useful because i was a bit confused with them last time so the second run through was useful.
Im really looking forward to keep designing this bee just got the legs and butt subtools done.
