Weeks 8-9

 Once again, these two weeks have been very productive in terms of assets created and implemented in engine, along with my knowledge of Unreal Engine also being upped in regards to Shader Creation, and even problem solving. 

I finally got the rear building into engine, and the rear steps, creating a brick texture in Substance Sampler before exporting them to Painter and using them on the building. I made sure to implement smart masks and grunge maps to an appropriate extent, creating realistic moss, grime, etc.

After that I added the Neon strips to the sign, creating a Neon emissive shader to apply to each part of the sign that I needed to.

The booths are in, the props are done, and everything is in place. I even have trees, foliage, and other random scatter assets in now! all that's left to do is to add in lighting and volumetric fog to block off the edges of the piece.  It's not been without it's own issues, of course. I've had plenty of bumps along the way. In fact at one point I considered throwing in the towel, and there's a very teary phone call recording to my best friend somewhere in the cloud that I'm sure an O2 employee uses to cheer themself up.  However, I have made very good use of the tools given to us by university. I used Marvelous Designer to create the booth...

Weeks 1 -3 - Introduction & Plan

  My name is Zachary Wilkins, and I am currently studying BA Game Art at Teesside University. Going into my second semester of Third year, I am creating this blog as I am going to be documenting the process of creating my Final Year Project to hopefully look back on and then expand upon in future projects, implementing the learned skills to push my abilities further.  Introduction Working Title :  'Drew's Easy Diner' Overview  For my Final Year project I will be creating a hyper-realistic environment which will then be presented within Unreal Engine 5. The environment will be the interior and exterior of a traditional 1950s style American diner and will include the parking lot and the main dining area. This environment will be heavily inspired by The Two Whales Diner from Life is Strange Season 1 (2015, DontNod Games), substituting the painted, stylized aesthetic of Edouard Caplain (Lead Artist, Life is Strange) for a style more akin to Tate Mosesian’s and Rogelio Ol...
