Video of Unreal test


Testing out Unreal editor.

I have made a small "Office" that was a little project to make on the Unreal editor. I made mine a little off. Adding an odd background as if it was a sandstorm in the background that actually is animated like the clouds it starts you with.
On this image the floor is chrome and I added a little too much gold, but it was just testing the textures. The reflection on the chrome seems really good if it's on something else. Like a car or maybe a chain ect. All of the objects in this scene were taken from a Maya file that we were told to use. It was a little easy to transfer from Maya to Unreal, just by exporting the selection as an "FBX export" which then could just be imported to Unreal, tweaked and sorted into folders to make everything easier to access and control. There wasn't many problems with this software, except for maybe lag which was caused by the computer and nothing I could control except for changing the graphics down, and up for taking a high resolution screenshot. Which is what I did here. Making the scene look a lot better. In the little fort thing made of tables and two golden doors there is 12 generators because I was enjoying messing with the copy and paste tool, as it was really easy, just hold alt while moving the object.

Testing brushes

To start this small testing page I used just triangles to make the background.
This process started as I was looking for something to help me create the waterfall as I was struggling deeply. I tried many different brushes and went through a bunch of different options, but this one being the most interesting, I decided to show, the simplistic pattern gives it a certain vibe that makes it actually not look bad,
 As the little art piece is used to test the brushes, I tested this brush by covering the whole page, seeing how it would look and how I would implement it on different objects and signs ect.
This particular brush, I saved as this could be used on a pattern, as a border and maybe even as a far away sign, giving the illusion of it saying something that you cannot read. I feel as this brush has the right amount of randomness and looks to actually be used.
I actually created this background as a test itself and thought it would be suitable to test out other brushes. This means that I will probably have this up a lot, so I could have my own little testing board that I could then even post to the blog to see what brushes that I made and used.
This was me using the background to test out some brushes. I was testing these by changing certain preferences and mostly using dual brush as it seemed to make the brushes look and feel a little better to use for different situations in Photoshop maybe even other drawing programs if I can transfer brushes.

Photoshop comp

An extremely silly Photoshop piece where I used http://eu2.flamingtext.com/ To make the words and cows from just searching "cow" on Google. I would send the link but as almost everything is blocked, it doesn't matter.
I made this game a couple years ago on scratch here: https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/20517317/
