Block Out Continued

Today's session saw further work on the block out of the mansion with some slight changes to the design to fit the architecture of the 19th Century, notably the bay windows.

To aide the development of the house, a mood board on Pinterest was assembled to look at architecture features of the 19th century for this type of house, in particular looking at bay windows.


As a result of looking into the architectural designs from the 19th century the house block out model was changed accordingly to make the architectural style of the period.

In both figures 25 & 26, it can be seen with the bay windows that they are angular rather round, which they had originally intended to be. As a result the model was changed accordingly, as seen in figures 27-29.

Changes were also made to the roof, switching the angled roof to the side rather the front, once again to represent design features from the 19th century.  Block out's of the bay windows were sent to Connor Burdett as Connor is the interior house creator, as such all design features that change the floor area to have an affect on the interior need to shared  and updated with Connor, as seen in figure 30.

Today the group also discussed what assets would be created in each individual section of the game, see figure 31.  For the exterior, a model axe will need to be created.  Scale and sizes issue that had occurred previously were resolved as scaling and sizing was correct originally, the interior walls of the house were felt to be too thick which caused the confusion.  Further discussion took place over sounds and noises in the levels, as well as possible music being put in the game to heighten tensions for the player.  It was suggested that the group could use musical students to create music for the game.

18/04/2019 Terrain Today focused on creating the terrain for the exterior of the game. This involved applying the textures created earlier this week and applying to the terrain to simulate grass and mud roads and importing the selection of trees previously created in Maya and textured in Substance Painter. The textures for the grass and mud had previously been created by downloading the textures from Textures.com, (Textures.com, 2005).  They were then applied to the scene using Unity's paint brush, as seen in figure 285.   Fig 285 - Textures. Roads were created using the mud texture in the terrain, whilst also gently applying mud in a dry brush effect across the rest of the terrain, to mimic country roads and terrain.  Mud paths and roads were applied to the terrain at this early stage with a rough idea of where spawn points and other assets might be located through out the section, however, it should be noted this could change and the game develops due to time constrain

03/05/2019 Sound Files As part of the final elements to be added to the game, each member of the team downloaded sounds from Freesound, (Freesound.org, 2005), for noises to be used in the individual sections.  The sound list requirements had already been listed earlier on in development of the game for each section.  However, by this point in the games development, some slight changes have been made to the sound list as some sounds were no longer required.  This had been discussed as a group for the needs of the game due to changes within the story.

As a result, Owl tooting and window scratch sounds were removed from the list.  Sounds that were downloaded for the exterior section were:    Heavy breathing for the charact

27/01/2019 Scale As part of the continuation with finalising elements to the block out stages for the level, it was highlighted by Tony Wright through a group chat that the size and scale of the house did not appear to be to the correct scale in line with the dimensions of the characters created by  Patryk Kuligowski. Fig 14 - Group Communication. Fig 15- Group Communication. Fig 16 - Group Communication. Fig 17 - Group Communication. Fig 18 - Group Communication. Initially as stated it was thought the house at this stage was too small for the character dimensions or it was not to scale. The exterior and interior of the house had been created to scale using a model mannequin which is 180 cm, the average human height.   Fig 19 - Model scaling.   Fig 20 - Model scaling. Once the blocks and mannequin were compared it was realised the house was in scale, however it was felt by some members of the group that the interior of the house wa
