2D Class Week 01 Basics of Drawing Shapes

This week we used basic shapes to construct two figures interacting with each other. We posed mannequins in Zbrush and used them as a reference.

2D Week 01 The Art of Syd Mead

This weeks artist was Syd Mead. I was familiar with Syd's work on Blade Runner and Alien but didn't know that he had done the concept art for Tron. The fact that he designed the light cycles kind of makes him a boss.

I assembled some of his work into a reference board using Kuadro.

3D Week 01 Assignment (UE4 Simple Box Level)

Initial Setup

The first thing I did was import the UE4 mannequin to make sure I was working at the desired scale.

 

Next up was to bevel the edges of a cube.

I created several emissive textures to use throughout the level with varying degrees of emission and different colors. 

While playing around with the cube placement I felt that the cubes looked kind of like pixels and decide to go with it.

Final Environment

3D class first post, how exciting.
