VR Project P.5

For this project, my team is making a Harry Potter-themed virtual reality scene. The scene is set in Dumbledore's office, where the player can pick up horcruxes from a desk and interact with Dumbledore's pet phoenix named Fawkes. 

I am responsible for modeling Fawkes and the stand she sits upon. I also help with some of the environmental props that sit on the desk, including the quill and inkwell, the book holder, and the dragon statue. This week, I created a high-resolution sculpt in ZBrush to bake onto the game-resolution model of Fawkes in Substance Painter. I improved on the previous color pass for the textures and then imported them into the material in Unreal. Here are my renders:

 This is a continuation of my cannon project. For this step, I improved upon my previous ZBrush sculpt and then reimported it into Maya. The game resolution mesh and UVs are ready as well.


3 stages of my model (from left to right): Proxy, Game Res, and High Res
I will be adjusting the platform on the game resolution before baking to fit the new high res scale.

VR Project P.4

For this project, my team is making a Harry Potter-themed virtual reality scene. The scene is set in Dumbledore's office, where the player can pick up horcruxes from a desk and interact with Dumbledore's pet phoenix named Fawkes. 

I am responsible for modeling Fawkes and the stand she sits upon. I also help with some of the environmental props that sit on the desk, including the quill and inkwell, the book holder, and the dragon statue. This week, I fixed up some of the topology on Fawkes and added more edgeloops to prepare her for rigging. I also created a basic blockout of her texture colors. Here are my renders:
