Final Delivery

For the final I colored a matte painting done by a team member and helped implement the face shield opening montage at the end.

Summer Sprint #5

This sprint I polished the scan and death animations. 

Summer Sprint #4

This sprint I updated the death animation and attack animation again. I also added Erik's turn animations into the state machine. 

Summer Sprint #3

 This sprint I worked on implementing the duck animation into game at the end when the EMMI enters to room. I also did a second pass on the attack animation.

Summer Sprint #2

 This week I worked on a 10 second scanning animation which takes place outside the room. 

The state machine was also updated with the new animation so that the walk and scan blend and transition smoothly in the game.

Summer Sprint #1 Delivery

 

This sprint I worked on the attack and duck animation and also implemented them into the state machine.

The State Machines was already created. The only states I added was the duck and attack state, which works in the preview editor. 

Sprint #7 'C' Level Delivery HW

 This week we tried fixing the HUD by creating a model instead of a widget. We found that the widget worked best. The model caused too much distortion and the materials would not appear. I also worked on the walk animation which is static right now. It replaced the the initial walk animation that was done with a FK rig. There is also a lunge animation that is the project but not seen in game yet. 

 

Sprint #6

 I worked on the HUD this sprint and drew the visor so the player sees the experience from Samus's POV.

Sprint #5

 This sprint I worked on the E.M.M.I death animation with the new IK rig and I also made a post on the Unreal forum.

Sprint #4 Delivery, Asset/Feature Complete HW

 This sprint I worked on the material change blueprints for the water and thermal pipes. They are triggered to turn on by the different steps, which helps direct the player to the next right step.

Sprint #3 Delivery, Sound & VFX HW

 This week I worked on the SFX for the steps. I also helped add Adam's voice into the steps. Lastly, I finished a rough pass of the EMMI walking outside of the window.

Sprint #2 Delivery, Beginning/Middle/End Part II

This past sprint I worked on different blueprints to help the player move from the beginning to the middle. I also helped with the credit blueprint and implementing the end menu options.

Week 13 – White Boxing And Concept (Part 01)

 This week I worked on four slides and create the concept for the images, using a combination of found imagery and original drawing. I also formatted the entire presentation for my team.

Week 12 – Art Style Guide (Custom Style Guide/Starting Prototype) HW

I was responsible for the following four slides. I also photo based and added original artwork on some slides. Lastly, I formatted all the text and images for the entire presentation in Photoshop.

Week 11 – Art Style Guides (Discovering Your Own Art Style) HW

This week, I worked on four slides for our group presentation and formatted the text and images for everyone's slide to create a cohesive presentation.

Week 10 – Art Style Range And Breakdown

For this week's assignment I created five of the slides for our presentation. I also formatted the PowerPoint and found additional images if one of my teammates needed help. 

Week 09 - Art Style Guides (Understanding Story) HW

Our group chose to base our VR game off of Metroid. This past week, I helped with developing a side story for Samus, and created visuals for Trials, Approach, Crisis, Treasure, and Result slides.

Result:

Finally, I created the title slide of our presentation:

Module 2 Week 07 Homework (Simple)

For the final part of this assignment, I redid the ZBrush and UVs from last week. The texture turned out better than I expected and I was able to emphasize the bumps on the crate more.
