Mocap Cleanup

Here is a video update of what I have been doing in the Mocap studio this week, I have been cleaning mocap data for my first assignment. The video is of the very final steps of cleaning unwanted elements and looking through the data to spot any mistakes.

Texture Assignment Final

After getting some feedback from my teacher I decided to redo some things, including scaling down the pattern of the metal texture so that it repeated itself more times inside the texture instead of repeating the texture as many times for the same result. It did help somewhat with the problem I had wit dark patches appearing in Unreal that where not really visible inside photoshop.
The stone texture got a new normal map with deeper lines between the stones as […]

Tileable textures in Unreal 4

As the first assignment of the second 3D course we students got to create two tileable textures and import them into the Unreal 4 engine to set up the materials. One material had to be metallic and the other more to the matte side. Each material had to consist of, other than the diffuse map, a normal map and gloss/specular map. I decided to create a brick material which could be used for either ground and/or walls and another metallic material that […]

3D2 The next step

Hi!
I haven’t been posting anything for two weeks and this is mostly because i wanted to take a short brake after the previous courses where we had a lot to do, but i haven’t been doing nothing and for those who are interested you can see my drawing progress if you follow my Instagram.
Anyways, this week we have been going through texturing and how to apply it in games. The assignment for this week was to […]

Week 11: Perspectives

This week we were taught about drawing using perspective lines. By using perspective lines we can make more realistic drawings, that represent 3D more than a drawing without them. Our assignment this week is, not very surprisingly, to draw a scene using perspective lines. The scene must contain a car and an airplane, the first on the ground, the second in the air above it. It is to be drawn in 2-point perspective, which means using two vanishing points (points […]

Programming 3 second week.

This is the second blog post of programming 3. What I am going to talk about today is about networking, mainly about receiving packages from peers. Throughout the week the class has been creating a simple (not that simple) chat program. To start with you have to activate WSA data and then sockets in order to start networking. When receiving packages the program must also determine what to do with the package and peers. Therefore a basic networking program requires […]

My first Webserver!,*cough*…kind of.

So this week I have been working on assignment 2, making a web server using C++ and Winsock2 API. It went quite well at the start and in basically one day I got a simple server (if you can call it that) that could handle one connection. I received data from the user and I displayed some text in the web browser to the user.
 

As you can see the browser in the back and in […]

It has been a Pong week..

This week has been fully packed with programming! We have gone through pointers and functions and a lot of fun stuff and by the end of the week we learned how to make pong with the sdl library! I am still a bit lost in the SDL library because I am new to it, but I am pretty used to the structure of the code, because I have done similar things in flash. This was a bit messy thought because […]

Game Programming III Week Two: Network programming

I haven’t really done anything on my personal projects (or assignments) this week, therefore I feel that the only thing  I can write about is what we did on the lectures: an introduction to network programming using sockets.
For the uninitiated, sockets can be somewhat likened to electrical plugs. You decide on a port where you send or receive data, similar to choosing one specific outlet to plug in whatever electrical appliance you might have. You then create a socket and […]
