Environment Progress

Haven't had much time to work on this for a while been busy on an iPhone title. Here is the environment a bit more filled in.

Characters for Game WIP

Characters for an upcoming game we're working on. Since there are no real background or environments I was put on Characters and UI. There are the characters for the game in Line-up.

Next step is bring these guys into Illustrator vectorizing them. I'll post progress as it happens.

Grass tiles.

created a grass model and instanced it around the scene.

MORE TILES (Ground texture)

Created a tileable ground texture.


How it looks in scene.

TILES (ROCKS COMPLETED)

Here are the tiles completed and textured. texture stil WIP.


I recreated the original "island" shape. Mainly for personal comparison.


ofcourse since they're tiles the possibilities are limitless.

Next Up:
--Ground--
• Dirt / grass geometry and texture
• Trees and Foliage

MORE TILES (TEXTURE PROCESS)

So in my last post I mentioned that I unwrapped all the rocks seperately but it didn't look like I evened the checkers. So I would like to clarify that I even my checkers when I pack the UVs when all the rocks are one mesh.


This is another Tile that has even Checkers when I packed the UVs.


From here I bake a Ambient Occlusion (AO)


This is the model with just the AO pass. again just to help pronounce the crevases where light doesn't get in. These are in a game engine which has bad lighting compnents so we back more lighting than AAA.


Finally I take that AO and back it onto the rock texture. again this is still WIP. I will bake a top / bottom map so I can add moss to faces whose normals are pointing upward.


This is the current Final render of the rock. *Note: WIP, subject to change*

MORE TILES (SPECULARITY)

Woke up a bit early this morning so I thought I would finish the diagonal tile. also created the spec map which is key to how they interact with light.



All textures are still WIP.
