UV Texturing

 The last three days have been spent UV texturing the assets for the exterior of the scene.  Advised by two team members, they advised UV texturing using the camera based option, in order to simplify the process.  A online tutorial video was also found on YouTube to aide with the UV process.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=epZbBFCV1GU, (Cheparev, 2016).

However, there seems to be some problems with the roof model.  When the smooth preview option is selected, the chequered UV box starts to distort.  There are a small handful of other assets that also done the same.  This will need to be investigated and resolved before proceeding to the texturing phase in Substance painter, which upon completion, the textured assets will then be transferred into Unity.  A YouTube video was used to aide and attempt to resolve the caveat, however, this did not resolve the problem with UV's.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vGXwfU6v1c0, (Dail, 2016).

 Motion Capture

 Following the groups visit to a local games studio in Liverpool, to capture the animation of the creature for the game, the studio have been in contact over the recorded files.

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
