Rubik's Cube

I was waiting around for something to arrive earlier, so I decided to kill some time (about an hour and a half) by quickly modeling, texturing, lighting a scene for a Rubik's Cube.




Might have a go at animating it in the summer.


Music: Battles - Rainbow

Animation Stage 2 - Character Franchise: Thoughts and Ideas

I've recently been trying to find reference images for my two mime characters but it's been difficult because initially I thought I wanted reference images drawn specifically for the task at hand, but then found that might not be possible.

So I looked for generic reference images but couldn't find anything relevant; mostly images of women or bulky muscley men.
In the end I had a search for other names (in different languages) for Mime and found a list of mime artists. Then I realised who I have unconciously based my characters on: Buster Keaton and Fatty Arbuckle

So now I'm searching for vintage photos (preferably full body shots) to use as my reference image. I'm going to try model Buster now and i'll post again later tonight after I see how it goes.


Music: Frank Zappa - We Are Not Alone

Games - Unreal Level Design (TEST)

I've noticed that a lot of us on the Multimedia course generally don't make a lot of comments on each other blogs, so I thought i'd try and change that by uploading my Unreal Level Design to hopefully get some useful criticisms or questions. Please do the same so that I can play and make comments your levels too. :)

So far my level has three rooms (green, blue and red) but I have only just started work on the third (red) room. Explore it, destroy it, make it laugh and make it cry!

My level can be downloaded from here

Cheers!

Music: Led Zeppelin - In My Time of Dying

Games - Unreal Editor

More level designing going on, this time my own work. I followed the excellent tutorial from 3d Buzz and feel very conformable and quite confident using the Unreal editor... even my maths have improved slightly... slightly!

Check out my level so far. I have used mostly the HumanoidArchitecture package to texture things and random inner static mesh to give the space some cool feature. Please let me know what you think and if you want the .ut2 file to play it :)









Music: Hiromi Uehara - Spiral
