My Varsity Final Project:Test level

So, as in all games we need a playable level.
Now this didn't need to be this completed but we wanted to give the Artist and the Musician a platform in which they can get a feel for what they will be working with.

I spent two days researching and prototyping level design and on the third day I pitched a "final" level to the team and they liked it. The level was done in Blender.

Note: the player controller is just the basic physics Unity FPV controller with the VR weapon...I needed something for the player to play with. How even...I do have a bit of a bug where if you run straight into the wall at high speed, there is a chance that you'd get stuck. An odd way to get out is turn to face the wall, walk back and fire the weapon.

Pictures:





Note: if you get stuck, and cant get free...just reload the page (the files should be buffered). Bad fix...but this is only a level demo. And yes, we know...getting stuck is frustrating.

So, that is the state of the level till thus far. Will do an update again on when I get the locomotion of the VR player down or the Artist/Musician delivers something.

Ghost in the shell wall painting

A "Quck" little update on a project I'm working on (you know, besides varsity, gaming and the 300+ other projects I never finish xD)

In my room I have this "massive" bare white wall, and for a while I've always wanted to do something on it. However it seems that I have commitment issues or something, because I could never decide on something that I would like to keep there. Then I had an idea, why not do it on canvas, so if I'm tired of it I can just take it down. (brilliant xD)

So, with this new founded 'hazaa', I set of to find a image I would really like on my wall.
Now I really like myself some Ghost in the shell...so why not a painting/picture from that. I started re-watching the series and came upon this scene
And I just had to do this.
So I started with the layout of the canvases (because a large one is expensive...and I had these lying around)
Then, just to get an 'Idea' of the layout, I overlapped the image onto the canvases using Photoshop.

Now excited with how this could possibly look, I pulled away at redrawing the low res image iver onto canvas. Took a while, still needs some touch up but ended up with this.
Used a light blue clutch...this means that trying to get a picture of the sketch visible...kinda hard
Next step would be to start the colouring (painting) in. Stay tuned for updates on those.

Trophy Project

So a family friend recently finished his 21th Cape Town Cycle Tour , which is quite the achievement. So I thought I'd make a trophy of s...
