production + endresult
week 7
week 7
and after a week of hard working I had to show the teachers what I got. I'm very content with the sphere and the feeling the environment has. I also think I was a little too enthousiastic and I maybe took way to much work upon my shoulders. Nevertheless I would love to continue with this project, if I have some spare time. About the end product: I added parallax for a better effect to 2 layers of background, I also used a plugin for the lightrays you see at the beginning of the level. Furthermore I animated the backgrounds, especially at the harbor part.

Specular Maps testing and lightning

character creation
I eventually created also 3 animations for the character, an idle, a run and a jump animation. I used Anima2D for this. |
normal map testing
I used SpriteDlight for this. It's a normal map generator. |
result normal map.
I wanted to use the normal maps on my character, but Anima2D made sprite meshes out of my sprite, these dont support the usage of Normal Maps. So unfortunately I had to drop this one. |

this week i decided to use a mix of 2D and 3D elements in my environment. For the 3D elements I will be sculpting my models in Zbrush, do a quick retopo using the same software. After that I will be unwrapping in 3DS max and texturing and baking the highres model in Substance Painter 2. I have no experience in Substance Painter 2, so I will be learning this using tutorials.
I also decided about the color palette i would be using, i decided to work further with this design:

NarrativeOnce upon a time the moon and sun were married. They were happy and had lots of children which glowed like the sun, with the color of the moon. They called them their stars. As happy as they were, the moon and sun blessed a lot of other couples from a folk on earth, the Daliña, which on their turn worshipped the moon, sun and stars.
In this time a little girl was born, the daughter of a Daliña couple. Her skin was fiery and her hair silver. Her name was Estela, like a star. She was gifted by the moon and sun, her earthly parents were blessed with fertility. But times changed, the sun started to love another one, the sea. The moon found out and in her furiousity she went into hiding, leaving a big hole in the sky. Take a look at the file below, the level abstract.
