Sword Idle Animation

After importing all of my art assets into UDK the tomb was still missing something to show that the story to the environment has much more depth. Therefore I have created a magic sword and idle animation to go with it. Below is the idle animation play blast from Maya, and I am moving on to creating the hand painted textures for the model.

Art Complete!

I have completed my art for my hand painted dungeon environment! It was a lot of work and I had to make some changes to the asset list, but I think that the art turned out pretty good. This has given me a lot more practice in hand painting textures and generating maps for 3D Assets. I also got a chance to work on my character art a bit by implementing a dragon head into the scene. Next up is to make sure everything is looking awesome and functioning in UDK!

Treasure Room Art Asset Progress

I have made a lot of progress on my hand painted textures for this level. If I keep up the pace that I am at now, I will finish all of my assets early this week. That will leave me with some extra time to make sure it is aesthetically pleasing. As well as get a 3rd person camera setup and double check collisions and visual cohesion. 

Dragon Sculpt and Animation

So... I have been having some UDK problems, because the IT department at IADT updated the UDK builds just before the weekend. Therefore, the UDK build I have installed is an older build. It was giving me problems saving my file, so I moved into Zbrush and Maya until I can confirm which version was installed at the school.

I went into Zbrush and sculpted the dragon head, and I have also created and animated the tail for the dragon within Maya.

Next step is to finish the rest of the simple models for the Treasure Room as well as Zbrush sculpt the tomb (i.e. Candles, Gems, etc.) smaller pieces. Then I will be completing the Low Poly and UV's for any of the Zbrush sculpts.

This project is coming along nicely, and it is definitely an extreme learning experience. This week I will be majorly focusing on this project, since the Art Complete deadline is due the following week. Work work work!
