Building Alliances - Junkyard Mini Boss Arena Process + Final Piece (Environment)

-

Sketch


I started off by using some low opacity brushes to thumbnail how I want the environment to look.


Once I was happy with it, I used another brush to go over it and start defining shapes so it's easier to tell what the objects are meant to be.


Lineart

I then went over the sketch and added the lines.


Colour

I then added colour focusing on browns and greys to suit the environment.


Final Piece


I then added minimal shading and textures to complete it.


Reflection

I'm happy with the textures I applied in this but I think I could've done better if I spent more time on it. I tried to imply a junk pile in the silhouette behind the beams but I wasn't entirely successful. The silhouette itself is good but I should've added more by using shading to imply simple shapes inside. I think environments is definitely something I need to practice and draw more of. For this piece, I used Photoshop which was a nice change of pace and it helped me get used to the software.

3D Toolkit - Renders, Turntable and Unreal Implementation

Turntable Here is a link to my turntable on Sketchfab:  https://skfb.ly/pxnUY Unfortunately, the texture for the mask on the belt just wouldn't work. It wasn't assigning correctly onto the model despite being completely fine in both Maya and Unreal. I was unable to resolve this issue so I left it with a basic white colour. Renders For some reason, during my renders, the textures broke and I wasn't entirely sure how to fix it. I think it might've been to do with the materials of my assets. I tried changing them but it broke the textures even more.  Unreal Implementation I implemented my character into unreal to see how they looked. They had been scaled a little too big, so in Maya I went back and made them smaller.
