Hello and welcome to the first of my production posts for the 2021 rising star environment art competition. In these posts I will take you through the different aspects that went into making the different elements of my scene from modelling through to having a usable scene in Unreal Engine 4. I went with a…
In my previous devlog I talked about my plan to make a 2D top down tower defence game. However, as I am not confident with coding, I was planning on finding and using various tutorials to create my game. From what I have found however there is only one tutorial I could potentially use and…
*Disclaimer*. The assignment brief states I need 200 dpi tiff files. I cannot find a method to achieve this in the render setting in maya. These are 200 ppi tiff files, I have spoken with one of the lecturers and believe these should be high quality enough to fulfil the criteria. In these render posts…
This was my final asset, and it ended up being a long journey with much frustration in it. I really wanted to learn how to make a car in Maya. Thinking ahead to whether I decide to go into 3D asset design as a career one of the largest studios around where I live is…
For my second assignment I was allowed to make a piece of graphic design that I wanted to make. Something that really interested me personally. I thought on the different topics I really enjoyed and came to history. I have always thoroughly enjoyed history and thought that this would be a very good opportunity to…

However I found when researching that these machines are a very modern invention, and in fact the coffee machines…
I made this model at the same time I made the drink dispenser model, and also had some tricky geometry which I had to fix before I was finished. When I looked into 1950’s Jukeboxes I found that there were two main designs. One, which has the rounded top is the image most think of…
Making this model ended up being much more complicated that I thought it would be. I had many issues with my topology that took a long time to fix and I had to remake part of the model. On the bright side I learnt to keep checking my topology as I modelled and I got…
For this years d3t rising star challenge I have been tasked to create a 3d environment based of the theme ‘Isolation’. For me this theme goes hand in hand with anxiety, which took me down the route of designing a horror environment. Part of this challenge is to create a 2d mock up of the…
(In order to fulfil the assignments criteria I have to merge two process posts together, as such I have combined my simplest model with another.) Model 5 – Booth Seat Not every one of my assets resulted in a long and in depth modelling process. Some, such as the booth seat didn’t lend itself to…
