Game level design diary fifteen

Hello,

Here's the ledge model:

Its a very simplistic design but it looks great in position at the top of the volcano,normal mapping and spectral mapping have been applied to the texture.

Hi,

Here's the bridge model:

I like its shape and the texturing really fits with the environment, It has both normal mapping and spectral mapping applied to it.

Hello again bloggers!

Here's my model of building 1: 

It has a normal map and a spectral map applied to the texturing.

Hey Bloggers,

I've modeled Building 2 now, here's what It looks like so far:

It's pretty basic and the texturing has a normal map and a spectral map applied to it.

Hey again bloggers, in this post I've finished building 4, here is how it looks:

The textures I've used have bump maps applied to them and spectral maps applied. I'll keep the blog updated with more of the assets in the future.

Game level design diary ten

Hi,

In this entry I'll be talking about the list of assets that are needed for the level. As you can see below I've created a list showing High priority assets, medium priority assets and low priority assets:

High priority assets:

1. Bridges
2. Building 3
3. Building 1
4. Building 2
5. Building 4

Medium priority assets:

1. Five rocks
2. Pine tree

Low priority assets:

1. Bed
2. Control panels

The high priority assets are important and must be completed and the medium priority assets are also important but aren't necessary, the low priority assets aren't essential but will be nice to put in if there is time. I'll put the asset creation in future diary entries, but as for now that's all.

Game level design diary nine

Hey bloggers,

In this diary entry i'll be talking about why I chose the unity terrain paintbrush tool to make my environment rather than making it in 3ds Max. With the unity terrain brush I can quickly create mountain ranges and hills by holding down the mouse button and dragging. Unity also allows for accuracy while using the tool at a quick speed. It took me minutes to make the mountain ranges at the edge of the map with Unity whereas with 3ds Max it would take a lot longer to model it. However I will be using 3ds Max to create my assets as it is far superior at creating structures and allows for better texturing.

that's all for now.
