 Adding Booleans Cuts To The Shapes

Creating An Emissive Material

Tech Art - Week02 - UE5/Perforce Basics

 Try to upload the simple scene that I build with the fab in UE5 to P4V depot.

3D Art - Week02 - Modular Environmental Creation Part 1

  This is the first formal week that I try to use unreal to build something. I think I have learnt a lot from Nick's tutorials.

  First of all, I import Mannequin from UE5 to Maya as my scale tools. It's really important to have the right scale in Maya.

  Secondly, I try my best to build my first proxy objects in Maya.

 After that I beveled them to make them look better.

 Then, I import them into UE5. In order to make it easier to build my scene. I create the some blueprints prefabs.

It's also important to note that, in order to make it look better, with the standard lit shader in Unreal, I create the materials for my objects.

At last,  I created the high quality screen shots in Unreal.

Animation - Week 02 - Character Pose

   I did almost the same thing in 3DSMAX and C4D before, everything is so familiar to me. And I think the controlers in Maya are really easy to use. I think it's a better  software to create Animation than  3DSMAX and C4D.

My First Animation In Maya

Although it's a really easy Animation, but I still spent a lot of time on it and try to make it  better! It's an Animation to show that the Difference from a soft ball that is filled with water and a bowling ball.

Common Art - Week 01 - Use of Silhouettes

  Our concept subject is "Red Riding Hood" + "Journey". It's a really tough homework to me, because I'm not good at drawing pictures! But I'm really happy that I overcame it and finished my work! First of all I used PureRef to get my reference board. Almost all of the pictures are from Pinterest. I learnt a lot from these illustrators.

  After that, I watched a lot of videos about "Journey" and "Sky", because we have similiar art styles. I got a deeply learning about "Less is more". I designed the first 4 characters by myself. After that, I fed my pictures to ChatGPT and directed it to create more. It did a really good job.
