ENVIRONMENT

i have been trying to concentrate on drawing plants and trees to get ready for modeling. over the Christmas holidays i hope to model a rock, tree and a verity of plants and grass's i will also be trying to model a wooden shack and maybe some other building and objects.

my final video will be based along side a river where wooden huts and pries like this one will be.this wooden shack is its first stage, what i have done is first draw the shack neat and together i then i scan it in and add a basic wooden colour.

then i use image sourcing to get more detailed textures on the image distressing the image and giving it more depth. i then finish off the wooden shack with a background image this one i just randomly found useing google images.just some of the more common plant you will find in all types of rain forests and jungles. using these with alpha channels i can use them in game or in photoshop for concept art.

looking at all sorts of different bark, vines for textures for my vegetation.

TEXTURE'S

TEXTURE'S

after a talk with my teacher i got allot more clarity about what i wanted to do. i am creating a game influenced by the crysis jungle theme but i am aiming to create as much textures and models and import them into sandbox. by the end i want a basic level but more importantly i want a decent cut scene featuring my imported textures and models.

the new crysis comes out just before x-mas so im going to focus on the modeling and textures untill the new engine comes and and see how confident i feel moving forward to use that insted. the advantages being the graphics will be laot nicer and new features and the disadvantage would be that i would have to lern the program all over again.

here are some textures i have made thay arnt the best but the more i make the better i will get i also have a program that alows you to create 3D bumpmaping for the texture so expect to see that later on.


after makeing them into a seamless its now time to add the difrent layers of maping to add depth and extra detail to make the 2d image seem 3d.

research

RESEARCH



This is just one of meant pictures that gave me inspiration for the kind of environment my game will be set in, check out my flicker link at the top of the page to see the rest of my research into the jungle. the reason for sticking with this thick jungle environment was mainly personal i enjoy playing in combat games with aspects of stealth and tactical precision.

What i want to achive

What i hope to achive is to lern a bit about all the ins and out of being a games desiner i will try to go threw the stages and finish having a better understanding in how it all happens.

i feel confident that i can create a decent atmospheric video allot like this one i created for my final project in my last year of collage. i had allot of help from my brother and it was a long time ago i want to prove to myself that i am capable of doing it myself and fully understanding how it all works.
