FPS Clutter.

Hey Folks,

Still hammering away on Project: Talon.  Reworking many of the assets I’ve created with new knowledge in mind, such as having objects of a similar material and type share a single texture file.  Out of the nine barrels below there are 3 texture files and all of the trash bags and trash below are on the same texture file. Also taking some time to cull geometry where I don’t need it.

I am also reworking the “old town” area but more on that later. For now enjoy the renders below.

OOoOOooooOOoo, more barrels and trash!

Nothing say FPS like an over kill of barrels!

Some minor changes and additions.

See you next weekend.

Project: Talon mini update.

I have been spending time a lot time researching texturing and modeling techniques.

So far things have been panning out really well. I am going back to reworking and cleaning some of my older files.

I’ll have to remake a few assets but that will save me and the rest of Project: Talon some head aches down the line.

We had a meeting today. Mostly discussing our progress and reviewing our agenda. The gameplay is coming along nicely. Physics seems to heading in the right direction as is the art.  Hopefully we’ll have something to present in the near future.

This project seemed like just what we need to keep our selves motivated.

Slightly reworked, not completely done, but will serve its purpose for now.

 

See you next weekend.

Monday Update.

Things are moving at a steady pace.

It seems like the more work  I get done, the more I learn… and the more I realize how much more work there is.  I am really glad I enjoy doing this stuff as much as I do; otherwise that workload might scare me.

Here are some in progress renders of some of my recent work on Project: Talon.

Few minor changes from last time.

Kinda dark in there….. I should fix that for next time.

Catch you next weekend.

Chipping Away.

I am continuing to add to, clean up and refine my portion of Project: Talon.

Learning as I work and batting away any feeling  self doubt seem to be key.  Texturing has become much less of a chore (I’m starting to enjoy it) and uv mapping… well at least I am not avoiding it anymore.

Below are a few shot of my progress.

There a 6 or so new objects added and more to come.

See you next weekend.

Catch up time.

I am feeling much better after that couple of weeks of  vile illness.

Keeping focus and trying to catch up on lost time has been a challenge but I feel this are headed in the right direction. I’ve still got quite the to do list sitting on my desk. Now I’ll just have to make that list shorter before more things leap on to it.

There are some screenshots  of some recent work below.

See you next weekend.

Sick and blah…

This week was a rough one.

Fight both allergies and a cold really slowed me down.  So I’ll go ahead and say sorry for the lack of the big update I wanted to post this weekend. I still made some progress this week but no where near as much as I wanted to produce.

These things happen though.

Below is a sneak peak at Talon Project’s progress.

"old town" progress rough draft. Not close to being done yet, but here is a sneak peak.

See you next weekend.

 

 

Small Update.

Hey folks,

Progress has been steady but you’ll have to wait to see some of what I have been working on.

For now here are a couple of things.

A new prop for Project Talon.

The start of a dune buggy for a client of mine.

Expect much more next weekend.

See you then.

One Year!

Hey folks!

It’s was a year ago today that I started this blog site.

I had set out to update each week.

I’ve mostly met my goal… I am human after all.

It feels good to say that I have been keeping up with this for a year now.

As you can see I’ve changed the look of the site and started that whole re-organizing thing I was talking about a month or two ago.  Below are some images of Project: Talon’s progress. Also you should check out Luke’s site as he has also put up some new work related to the project.

I’ll see you next weekend…

Let’s see if I can push this through another year!

50th Post.. or so…

To start off…

This is 50th! (if ignore the non-post posts anyway.)

Come to think of it will have been a year in September that I have been keeping up with this. Maybe I’ll do something special… or not. Perhaps I will finally reorganize this place a bit… we’ll see.

Below are a couple of updates for Project Talon. The first player hands which I am still working on (and yes they are female) and another textured prop.

A recently finished prop.

For now..

Onward, to the future!

 

Gun.

Here is a peak of a weapon I have been working on.

I’m still getting the hang of this texturing thing, but so far things are going fairly well.

This one is still in progress.

That’s all for now.

See you next time.
