Game Animation

 This week was all about making animations and implementing them into Unreal, using things like IK Rigs and Retargeters. Eventually, everything came together for the final scene.

 This was my attempt at making a crate for this upcoming module project.

Basic Rigging

 This week I was able to dive more into rigging a character, and while it did come with many obstacles, I felt as if I learned a lot. From constructing the skeleton, to the weight painting, to the constraining, it all came together in the end to create a controllable character.

Week 04 - Use of Basic Lighting

 This was my final attempt at Frank concept art. I decided to expand upon the more buff design that was chosen and add my own take on it. It emphasizes the bulk of the character as well as his detachable head.

 Here is my initial sketch.

 And here is my submission on Perforce.

Intro to Blueprints

 For this Tech Art assignment, I made a new scene with some assets from previous projects and put them together. At first, I focused on the Dynamic Material Blueprint activated by the key G. I wanted the anchor to change colors when the key was pressed. This was the blueprint I used and the end result.

 

Next, for the trigger-activated Blueprint, I wanted a box to spin once the player character enters the trigger box. This one was a lot trickier, I had to set up different blueprints in different places before I finally got something that worked. Here is the blueprint, the timeline, and the final result.

 

Finally, this is where I put the level in in Perforce.
