I started by lighting the interior of the cell: my thinking was that if I could get the interior looking good first, then I could add...

Prior to this project, I hadn't made materials in Unreal before, ever. Making a realistic glass texture, therefore, was not something I...

Prior to this I had already UV'd the glass bars on the cell walls, but everything else I'd built as a new model using the blockout as a...

The time has come to finish the models in Maya! As of last update, the things that needed fixing up from the blockout were the bars along...

So! First things first, there has been a gaping hole at the front of my build since day one, and now I have finally addressed it! I now...

Moving up and on from the basic blockout props, I've made (if not all, then most) of the indoor furniture props! As you may be able to...

Alright! It's taken a bit of fiddling, and some rather funny moments where I made copies of the scale man and put him in silly poses, but...

I'm afraid that I'm a bit late in updating this again, but I'm happy to say that I have completed the blockout! While not perfect, I am...

It's been a little while: I've been giving time to my other projects, and trying to avoid people while going to the shops, and so far I...

This year, we're being encouraged to stick to a more structured workflow, with a particular emphasis on Agile methods. Part of this...

A new year at university, and a new project begins! This time, the brief is to take a location from a film or tv series, build it in 3D,...

I've spent the day today adding what COULD be the finishing touches. I say 'could' because I'm a bit scared of adding too much and making...

It's been a while since my last post and I can only apologise for the delay. The deadline is approaching, silhouette looming over the...

19/3/2020: So, it's been a crazy couple of days. The university has effectively gone into full lockdown, the Games Academy is shut, and...

15/3/2020: Since my last post, I've been getting stuck into some other assignments that I needed to pay close attention to, and I'd...

05/03/2020: Last time I was happy with my modular kit-built shop, and I decided to come back to it after I had some designs for trims and...

1/3/2020: I think I can say that my modular kit, or at least the first attempt at it, is done! I spent the day adding the last few pieces...

29/02/2020: I took advantage of the Game Jam that was taking place down at the Games Academy over the weekend to sneak in some more work...
