HW 3 Basic Lighting & Materials

Unreal Screenshots:

I wanted to portray a very warm and cozy scene. The sun is rising but since it's still dawn the inside of the house is not getting a lot of light. Thus, the lanterns are still lit and the fireplaces are on and burning bright.

My thought process was to create a small scene telling the story of a person, in a medieval/fantasy universe, living in a house hovel. They make a living selling mead. They wake up, brew mead, sell mead, then go to sleep and dream about mead. Usually their only company are the barrels that share their small living space, but every once in a while, the individual's best friend travels days to come hang out and drink mead together at the old rickety table.

WOLFSBANE: Use Of Reference (Art Bible Interactable Character)

WOLFSBANE

I got assigned the Interactable Character Art board. The only other character in the game besides The Player is The Rougarou. The Rougarou is based off Louisiana Cajun folklore. It is a half-human half werewolf-like creature, that turns into the beast at night. They prefer to live in swamplands with a lot of forest coverage. The Rougarou primarily feeds on catholic and catholic children. The Rougarou needs to relive itself from the curse and the only way to do so is to bite a victim, draw blood, and transfer the curse. For this art board, I wanted to convey how important the legend, the history and culture behind the Rougarou is to the overall gameplay loop.

Meet Mat: Substance Painter Project

 Meet Mat: Substance Painter Project

Theme Description:

I painted the blank Meet Mat figuring to look like a child wearing a fabric pigeon costume. I decided on this theme because I grew up working on my family farm and one of the primary animals we cared for were/are pigeons. Pigeons have played a major role in my upbringing, and I wanted to carry that aspect of my life into FIEA. My design is a reference to the Halloween costume of a pigeon that gets sold in stores. I own this costume:

Description:

Tools and techniques used in my painted Meet Mat figurine include, the paintbrush, layer masks and layer groupings, textures, editing the presets of the textures used to change settings such as weft size and depth, mirroring, and lighting and shaders. To create the rendered image showing the three sides of Meet Mat, the original model was brought into Maya, copy and pasted, and exported out as a new fbx file. This was then brought back into Substance Painter, staged, and rendered.
