#probuilder

Began switching out probuilder objects with maya models

I must say that i have missed doing these, they are a really good exercise to  work on speed in Unity, general knowledge of the program and build a better perception of scale and proportion. 

This was a bit rusty I haven't touched this kind of stuff in Unity for about a month and a half, considering that i was surprised how much i remembered and how i got around with ease. 

Proportion is probably my main issue here, my grey-box is a little bit small. However i feel, this will improve with time and continual work. As i will be making a vertical slice within the next month that has to be polished and refined, I want to further build my level design skills so that i can produce i really great product.

 In my vertical slice we’ll jump right into the moments after they’ve been dumped, and this would fall roughly at the beginning of the game. 

The scene above shows the player’s messy room, highlighting their lack of care and respect towards their own life. Empty drinks and clothes strewn across the chair etc etc.

It’s not highlighted in the gif above, but the bathroom specifically shows a dual vanity with an empty side and a messy side to show that someone has recently emptied out their side of the bathroom. 

Looking forward to fleshing this out in the coming weeks, need to refine the placement of objects and sort out lighting, but I need to get a serious crack on creating my assets in Maya. 

More to come!

I began the recreation by setting up the camera in line with the water and the boats. At first this seemed like the best idea but in reality, I should have setup some test buildings in order to see how the scale would work with the perspective.

I then built up upon the stairs and into the main open space trying to setup the space into the higher areas but found that the perspective/scale was askew. As is the case occasionally an artist’s impression doesn’t always match reality. So began the process of tweaking what I had in order to keep it within the style but keeping what I had so far.

The final touches were the skybox and the trees both of which added much-needed colour to the scene while still being easily available as to not waste too much time in creating a replica, slight tampering of the lighting colour was done in order to achieve a more visible world but in the end the results turned out okay.
