Texturing

 This week has focused on texturing assets in Substance Painter.  Assets have now been grouped together in Maya to be exported into Substance Painter.

 Once the items were grouped together, faces of all grouped assets were selected and then laid out using the layout feature, preparing the assets for the texturing phase.

Chandler Pope-Lewis had previously received a file of the mine shaft entrance for testing purposes in Unity.  Chandler has since made alterations to the entrance, making it larger and more into a tunnel.  The new version of the mine entrance has now been received, UV mapped and is ready for texturing with the other assets in Substance Painter.

Material files were then downloaded from Substance Share, https://share.allegorithmic.com/ (Share. allegorithimic.com, 2015), which would benefit the textures of the assets.

One example of texturing assets can be seen in figure 206 with the shed.  A old wood planks, aged, texture was applied to the asset.  More work needs to be done in terms of detail and adding a damaged, worn appearance to the shed to match the imagery and theme for the game.

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 inter...

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...

24/02/2019 House Model C ontinued Today saw the final editions to the house model before continuing onto the UV process and then texturing to begin.  However, before the final editions could be added, a resolution needed to be found for the stretching of faces for the window assets when rotated.  A search on YouTube ensued, looking through different videos which might have the answers to resolve this problem.  Initial thoughts, were that the faces might have been doubled, however, this proved not to be the case.  Suggestions from the advised that the faces needed to be reversed.  However, this proved not be the answer either.  Another possibility could be that the axis rotation needed changing on the model, from world to object or component.  This proved not to be the case either.  One of the course tutors, Mathew Dodd, suggested that it could be that constraint option required turning off.  Taking this option as a possibility and lookin...
