3D Exploration Game : Mood and Texture Boards


Moody Boards

I created a series of images to help conceptual the look and feel I want to capture from the text. Each image is inspired by some element of the text either a line or two or the greater setting of future London.
The above image is inspired by ground-level London and the aesthetics of the streets and the below is the inspiration for the skyline and the horizon.

This image is the 'overwhelming architecture' and 'aisle of Titanic buildings' from the text. I wanted to capture the emotion of looking up at towing buildings that loom over you in cities with skyscrapers.
I was trying to create 'Gigantic globes of cool white light' hanging overhead. Combined with some of the other parts of the text it made me think of these street lights and stalactites.
This image is 'a tracery of translucent material shut out the sky'. I tried to think of what London would have as a roof if it were to have one and this style of victoria glass and steel construction is very evocative of London. I think having large portions of the sky obscured though this kind of foggy glass and steel web really encapsulates the feelings the I had when reading the text initially.

Art and Design Exercises : Decontructing Art into Basic Shapes for 3D Modeling, Glastonbury Dam

The Poäng of Art Glastonbury Dam, By Tyler Edlin, can be broken down into one large cube for the central building of the castle with another rotated and reduced for the roof. The wall is comprised of 4 cylinders with cones on top for the rooves. The tunnel section of the wall could be constructed from rectangles and cylinders using the difference boolean. For the details on the turrets themselves such as the wooden beams, I would use rectangles sunken into the surface to create the depth present in the facade. Alot of the surface detail is heavily repeated on a micro-scale and then on a macro-scale so I would probably try to create a detailed wall for example by creating the largest parts first then cut to get the tunnel, then add the rectangles to make up the supports on one small section and copy that across its breadth. Finally, I would then copy the whole thing for the other walls and make any changes that need to be made to distinguish them. using the same technique I would make t...

Affine texture mapping : Subdivide Mesh

Af fine map indeed Another bug I  encountered in my previous project was when using the PSX shader on large surfaces the warping became severe which was disorientating while playing. This is because the affine mapping that the shader does to emulate the affine mapping the PS1 did, approximates the positions of vertices in screen space meaning that if the vertex in question is far off-screen the approximation becomes more inaccurate meaning that if you subdivide the meshes into smaller triangles the effect is drastically diminished.

Technical tutorial : Illustrator and Photoshop

REVENGE OF ILLUSTRATOR First I loaded an image into illustrator then using the pen tool created shapes with which to create a clipping mask. This made the image into the same shape as the panel frame. I then used Image trace to change the image to black and white as well as adding the flattening effect which bands the colours. When I came to adding the image of Godzilla I opened it in photoshop and created a clipping mask to extract only the parts I wanted. Once I had done that I saved it as a png and opened it in my comic illustrator file. Both panels only took about 1 hour combined to create, so this was a very streamed lined process. The only issue I ran into was that if you modified a file that illustrator has open such as the photo of Godzilla the program will pester you incessantly about it until you relent and let it update at which point it will change all instances of the file to the updated version. This wiped about 10 min of work I had done extracting a photo of Godzilla. I ...
