Desert Eagle Finished!

Desert Eagle Finished!

The complex contraption project in 3d class has been interesting and pain in the you know where at the same time.

I never realized how hard modeling a gun will be. This was chosen in order to save my car design for the future project. However, this project has been quite difficult. Nevertheless, I did have fun modeling and texturing. This time I was actually able to get in depth with Substance Designer 3. This program allowed me to create "modular" materials that are applied throughout the whole gun.

the gun has tri count of 3500 and about 1300 for the flash light. The silencer was just a cylinder, so it only has 170 tris. The whole texture spaces available for the project was 2048 square map.

My DFA concept

Color Studies for the environment that I will be drawing and eventually making in UDK.

Since it is only brainstorming and stuff, I've treated it more like a collage with the pictures that I've copy&pasted from internet. When the concept is 100% finalized, I will be drawing everything and texturing them.

Feasible DFA concept idea

Feasible Environment Idea

The environment in which I am doing in DFA demands a complex material making when brought into UDK. The idea is that wherever the light hits, a clean looking material will be applied. However, where the lights don't hit, a grunge and dirty material will be applied. 

Drawing it in 2d form will be quite easy. However, material making for UDK will cost time and effort. 

HOWEVER! I've got it semi-working at the moment.

The picture represent how the lit area shows one material and unlit area shows another material. I've just used UDK textures, but that's only to start the experiment with.

I'll need to fine tune the material so that I can create a master material for the environment that I will most likely be working on in DFA.

Hard surface modeling project

For this assignment, I am modeling a handgun

Desert Eagle to be more exact.

Right now, the high poly has been created in Maya.

Currently working on lowpoly so that I can bake the detail.

The final render for the Primer Machina (DFA) is finally finished.

This vehicle is made to travel on the train tracks instead of asphalt roads.

The environment theme was the Russian metro system in the game Metro: Last Light.

Beautiful Biome project update

The lighting has been dramatically changed from the previous version.

Also, the waterfall has been deleted. It did not have enough realism to fit the environment in my opinion. Instead, I've added crepuscular rays.
