Back/foreground objects done (I suppose)

I have finally finished placing all the objects in the level (although I'm not 100% happy with the job, I don't have any more time). It was very hard trying to place the foreground objects to make it look like there is a reason Logan can't walk any closer to the screen without blocking the view. If I was to do this again I would make sure there were some object specifically made for that purpose. I also added the newly recorded grapevine sounds to the project. I think I would rather stick to character design and animation than placing hundreds and hundreds of objects again. #_#

Recording and Intro

Today, well yesterday, I helped out with recording dialogue ant uni but we ran out of time so I went to my friends house and finished of the recording there (thanks Sanj and Dan). One of the things we recorded was a replacement summery of the levels we didn't end up making. I also created some images to go with the dialogue and they have now been implemented into the game. I only managed to get time to do the ones for the intro though. The text was written by Sean.

There are the other images I created after the jump.

Old work new post

Ok, so this post is actually about work that I did before Easter but I forgot to do a post about it. I started placing the textured objects into the level. This took a very long time as I had to create prefabs for all the objects and a large number of the models had problems with the scale, pivot point, being invisible for no reason etc. so I had to go into a lot of the max files and edit and re export some of the models.  I also played around with lighting, including creating some animated fire particles, and added a fog effect to make the kitchen look darker and gloomier.

More images of how the level looked after I finished after the jump.

Recently...

Because I should be doing lots of Uni work I've been very distracted and I've become obsessed with Pokemon (to an unhealthy amount) and art. While stumbling I stumbled upon Barnaby Ward, he has some really beautiful and slightly odd images (like the one above), more of his stuff can be found at http://somefield.com. I just wan't to graduate so I can draw stuff. Anyway... sleep...

F**king, God Damn, Fantastic Bloody Blog Post

Ok, so I haven't actually managed to get round to writing many blog posts this term (I have however been busier that I think I've ever been >_<). This post will sum up everything that I can remember doing since my last post (hopefully, despite my terrible memory, will be most of what I've done).

I've had a virtual sticky note on my desktop for a while telling me to do this post and Martin kindly edited it for me.

So that's why this post is called what it is. Read the rest of my scribble after the jump.
