5 Modularity


For this scene I have taken inspiration from Kashyyyk from star wars. Kashyyyk is a forest world that is covered in very large trees and bush, because of this all the buildings are made from wood and are bridging between trees. This scene is made out of 6 modular sets being: 2 types of towers, a bridge, a barricade, some scrubs and a piece of a trunk.


When designing these set parts I wanted to keep in mind legal Lego building techniques and did not want to scale or place blocks in ways that would not be possible. It needed to fit into the Lego world and even be used inside a Lego star wars game or used as a plan for creating real world Lego sets. So this made the creation of making this scene quite time consuming as if I had taken short cuts it would defeat the Lego feel and would not fit into a Lego environment.

11 Materials

the first material is the classic sidewalk brick. With the brick I added different colour variations of brick with both reddish and blue tones to help separate the bricks from one an other. the second material is a pearlescent car paint. Pearlescent paint not only reflects the light but also refracts it making the colours change depending on the angle. This material was made within UE4 using using 2 separate layers with one for the gloss and the next 2 colours that mix with a fresnel function. The third material is concrete slab. This material can be used in many areas from a wall texture to a ground texture as concrete is a common building material. The last material is a sort of concrete plaster. This material is used to cover walls and help give the wall a sort of finish to it.

7 level design

For this level design project I wanted to focus on the design of a competitive shooter map. As i have been playing Overwatch for some time i felt that I had a understanding of how the gameplay flows through its maps and modes. Taking a step further I wanted to create a Competitive map for this game. Overwatch uses asymmetric level design to help shift the flow of the game from point to point. Coupled with the asymmetric heros this imbalance of the game actually results in a balanced gameplay as a whole. The mode chosen for this map is an assault/escort where the attacker are trying to drive a payload through the map and the defenders are trying to prevent them from getting to their destination.The theme i wanted for this map was a New Zealand theme, incorporating maori elements, coastal and a bit of art deco sadly I was unable to finish a lot of these assets. The constant shifting of the main conflict zone as the payload traverse along its path allows for player to change and reth...
