#project03

The project started In class: we were supposed to choose one of the items provided and work in group. Everyone easily chose their object and teamed up, and one of the girls in class was alone with The Knickerbocker Glory. I didn’t know what that was, but I decided to join her, and it was awesome. First of all, I like team work, I love brainstorming and the ideas interchange. It was very pleasant working with Ana and she gave me a perspective to the story that I don’t think I would have come up with by myself. 

The original story was about Aunt Jean giving the kids the best Knickerbocker Glory ever and them being in awe by it, quoting the tale “We swore to never ever touch them. Something so carefully made shouldn’t be ruined. We just sat there looking at these truly magical creations, completely mesmerized and all feeling very, very special.”. Although the kids end up eating the treat, Ana gave the idea of using the ice cream melting as time passes, the character growing old and never eating it because “we just sat there looking”.

Painting sheets wrinkle in Substance Painter

Tog give more variation to each bed set, I added wrinkles on fabric by painting height and smudge it.

Substance source and Substance plug-in for unreal engine

To achieve best texture with time constrainet I utilized more preexisted materials and generaters in this time.

I first appplyed substance materials within unreal engene with substance plug-n for larger object like walls and floor but late I chaneged to use them in substance painter as I wanted to paint some dert on them. I only applied substance amterial in unreal engine for some objects I could not finish in time.

Painting by UV map

Decal

I used decal on some tiled object to add variation without increasing the number of material sets. I fould manage small stain on the floor but run out of time to set decals for wass stains to add some reasonable trace of wear as well as conceale some UV artifact seemed on the wall supposedly caused by UV boundary.

Some unfinished experiment

As I have tried to give a length to light source, I leared to change the ‘length’ attribute of lighs. I have noticed that parameter when I first tired by didn’t see the defference just because I the value was too low to be visible in the viewport.

Espetially for the lights come behid the grids i.e red lamp and wall lamp, I wanted to make light source in objects. That was possible by making object transparent and put the lights in them. I managed to make an object transparent but coud not find the way to mask the opacity.
