Throw Back Thursday #3

It's this time again and another Throw Back Thursday has come around. Here Is a video of some of my work I've done, It was created in second year of uni the project was simple create a low poly character and get it to run around a game level as a playable character. For this I followed the digital tutors tutorial to create the character itself, through this I learned many new techniques to modelling and especially hand painting textures. I decided to call Him Axel due to the Axe on his back, For this I also needed to rig the character, I used the Biped system found within 3DS MAX and also tested the rig with a number of different motion capture data to ensure my rig was at a high enough standard before going into unity. Once in unity I followed a tutorial found on their website about setting up playable characters with their animations using a node based approach. What you will find below is a Video showing off the character and a download link for the level for you to have a play :).

Throw Back Thursday #2

This is the second part in the series of Throw Back Thursday's would be a piece of work from the start of second year, we were given the task of creating four small game ready assets, two of which had to be modern and the other two had to be based around a time period previous to ours. 

For this I created a Flash Bang Grenade and a future like metal Briefcase for the modern part of the brief and then for the period based work I created an old Medieval Book and and ancient Chinese Coin.

Throw Back Thursday #1

Throwback Thursdays are a common social media event where people post old photos of themselves or something relating to their life at that period in time.

This will be a series of weekly updates of previous work done over the last few years.

To start my Throwback Thursday series off to a start I wanted to share with you guys some work I did for my Major project at the end of my first year at University of South Wales.

This project was to construct a character and an environment both have to have the same theme. For this I chose a War scene and in particular Vietnam war. For this I created a small wooden hut. I used many action films such as deer hunter and platoon for references as well as in game models from far cry. The character it self I wanted to be slight stylized in the sense of a bobble head.

The list of images that are about to come are wire frames of the final objects and then some final renders Enjoy.
