Texturing

Today's session focused again on texturing assets in the level in Substance Painter, getting ready to transfer into Unreal Engine.

Below are some images of the assets textured.  The houses, warehouse, pavement and floor.  A tile texture was created and downloaded from Textures.com for the roof tiles on the houses and warehouse, whilst the brick work had already been created from the previous weeks session.





For both textures to be applied to the model at once, a black mask was added to the later, and Uv's were selected were the appropriate parts of the model would have a brick work texture or tiled slate texture added to them.

A texture was added to the road and pavement.  With the road the texture was cobbles.

Below are some of the final images of the level taken with the textures applied.

09/05/18 AI Bots Today focused on adding AI bots into the layer.  With the level being a death match game that could also be used as a capture the flag level too, AI bots were put into the level to help demonstrate this. Following some more YouTube Tutorials, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3GV6-4uhkYc , ( Virtus Learning Hub / Creative Tutorials , 2016), https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xPb3sV4lZuY&t=31s , ( Virtus Learning Hub / Creative Tutorials , 2016), on creating AI's for the level, in how to give the AI ability to chase the player and roam around in a perimeter guarding an area and once the player appeared the AI would move to intercept the player. From the modes menu and dropping first person character into the content browser, then opening up the blueprints to add the blueprints so the AI can chase and guard. The first person character was re-named AI in the contents browser.  In the mode section a nav mesh bounds volume was placed into the lev...

11/05/18 AI Conitnued  Today has seen the continuation of fixing the AI bots.  Following more tutorials on AI bots, health and HUD displays, in an attempt to rectify what might be the problem with the AI, in terms of getting the AI to die, and kill the player and the level to re-start again. Following on from  yesterday and following a tutorial on creating health for the player and the AI, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9CW46uMjch8, (Virtus learning hub, 2016).  Having watched two Youtube tutorials yesterday from the same channel, it was decided to go back and investigate whether there is a missing element for the AI bots, in why they are not being destroyed or killing the player and restarting the level.  One possibility was that the a health bar was required.  Following the tutorial steps into how to create a health bar for the player and to be transferred for the AI later, health capacity was created for the player blueprints.  Variables n...

10/05/18 AI Bots Furthering development on the AI bots to improve them, additions were made to the mesh.  Through some experimentation, the AI bots were able to have arms.  On further investigation a full body was able to be imported for the AI. Far from perfect or what was envisioned, the new look AI was a improvement from the floating gun, or floating gun and body less arms. Following another tutorial, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lipLWMbyMq0 , (Ormstad, 2015), the last attempt was to enable the AI to destroy the player and the player to destroy the AI and start the level again.  However, after following the tutorial instructions, the desired effect has not happened.
