Owain: Reflective Journal

12.03.2019

Today I was putting my character (Gangster) in Adobe Photoshop and I start giving him more textures like cross with wings on a T-shirt. Also I have added a background from hell (fire) what is showing that my character is in hell and that cross that is showing that my character is good but he only was killing in rage and anger and the most importantly in revenge. I added wings and halo to show to people that my character can make also a good things for others and himself but I added horns and tail to show that my character can be evil to people what took everything from him (family). To show that my character is scary I give him Uzi guns also, to make people know that my character could be lovely to people and that he is able to give them his own heart I just colour everything in pink colour and also I give him funny dressing and look of his face.

I have enjoy making everything about my character, I was trying to give a bit of me to this character that is why I gave him my name and place where I am from. This character is going to show good and bad side of human, if someone is going to take something from us, we gonna take it back.

I have tried my best to create something special and I think I did make something unique what is funny, scary and unpredictable. 

When I gonna make my final project, I will try even harder and as always I will try to get highest grade possible but it is hard because it is highest grade.

[arielhrycykunit7]

Owain: ScreenShots (Adobe PhotoShop) Gangster textures.

I was trying to find as many things what I could add to my character as possible. This character is representing who I am inside but outside I’m someone different. Gangster Ariel was having bad and painful life, even when he was trying his best to achieve something good sometimes he just couldn’t because of his past but inside he know that he is good and that good will take control of this anger and pain.

I have found lot’s of images on internet like:

Wings, Uzi guns, tail, halo, cross.

I was doing everything bit by bit starting from editing textures of my dress and ending on giving Uzi guns to my character, everything is on screenshots (x29 images).

I have tried my best to do everything what was possible to make my character look cool and be a part of me.

Maybe one day my character will join his family in heaven but after what my character has done I don’t know if that is possible. Maybe his family will take him out from road to hell and shout his name a cross a heaven.

I love this project and hopefully I will do something at least similar to this next year. This project is preparing me so much for level 3 gaming and I think I will be well prepared for level 3 and I will have less stress.

[arielhrycykunit7]

Owain: Character (Gangster)

This is my character what I have made in Adobe Fuse, I really enjoy by writing a story of my character, story what I have written was meant to show a bad choice what my character Ariel has done and also to people in real life not do what my character has done. With this bad choice my character has to live to the end of his life.

Was fun while writing this and was fun while making my character, maybe someone will enjoy this much as I was. 

I love writing stories and especially if it is going to be evaluated.

05.03.2019

Today we were having task to create our Superhero, Game Character or CG animation Character based on my self. Then basing on my self I created funny, strong and scary Game Character (of course those are lies). I have try my best to achieve the best result on the end, program was nicely written and immediately I know how I could build my character. (Gangster)

I didn’t have time to finish task 2 what was about writing some information about my character like a super powers, skills and story and those things I will do in my own time.

The point is that I will want to go back to this program at least one time in the future to I can create better character than I have created already. It will be again hard work from me and enjoyment of working in this program. If not this Year level 2 then maybe in the next Year level 3 Gaming.

This program has given to this course something new and new things are cool and with new things new ways are open for me.

[arielhrycykunit7]

Owain: Adobe Fuse Screen Shots.

Today I was working in program called Adobe Fuse to create my idea of a game character. I was trying to make my character look funny to make people laugh or at least smile, I have start from making his head shape a bit rectangular and also repair his head by making it smaller and then I have start of adding chest, legs, arms and making him look scary, funny and strong in the same time. When I have zoom in on my character I have seen his teeths going out from his mouth texture and then I start repair and finally teeths were behind mouth texure. Then when I repair look of my character I started dress him into gangster also I gave my character a nice looking long hair, pink beard and pink mustache. Then finally I finish my character and I can share with other people my idea of a (Gangster).

Settings what I have used in this program to create my character were:

Assamble, Customize, Clothing, Texture.

Because of those settings I could made something what I wanted to make, without looking for other idea what probably will be worst than this one.

This project was cool and next thing what I will have to do it will be going into Word Document and creating some information about my character like what special powers my character has, skills, story.

I have took +80 Screen Shots of my work what I was doing in my lesson.

[arielhrycykunit7]

Owain: ScreenShots how to add sound to gallery.

In the same time while I was doing my character in program called Adobe Fuse, I was thinking about how to add sound to my gallery in Unreal Engine and then after I finish my character I start working on sound. First thing what I have done was asking Owain for help and he showed me how to do that and then I choose sound of wind and then I drag the sound into my gallery close to stairs. This sound what I have add was giving an effect of Ocean and the person what will walk fro my gallery will feel Ocean around him. 

This was fun project, I have enjoyed even when I was having problems like destroying my world and then Owain has save my world by doing back backup.

Next time I will not click something what I shouldn’t but Me, Leandro and Owain were thinking that nothing will happened but only something good and cool.

[arielhrycykunit7]

Owain: Evaluation (500 words)

1. Interfaces in Unreal 

How did you feel about the menus and interface, was this software more complicated than software used in previous projects? 

In Unreal interface is on point I could find everything what I needed to create my temple-building-gallery, things like tools, blocks, textures, shapes, settings, informations, etc. This software was much better than software in previous projects because I have enjoy more on this software than on the other ones, it is because this software was having everything in one place not everything in different locations where will be hard to find it and also because I didn’t get behind on this project and I’m doing my work on time now, because I have less problems with my account now than I was having on previous projects. I learn more without problems.

What was it like making transition from 2D to 3D software?

I always was much more in to 3D games not 2D games and that is why I was so happy that I will work on 3D game (gallery). This 3D software was less complicated at least for me because I spend more time on it than on previous projects software. Also I was so happy that I will see 3D objects because I love building with them like in Minecraft when I was only 12 years old.

How did you feel about navigating 3D space in software to design gallery?

It was pretty much unbelievable fun, I was loving walking with my character fro my world and exploring glitches and trying to fix them. Also looking on my world without playing by using camera to look around from higher places and build stuff, it was easy to navigate around the world what I have create.

2. Making a Landscape

When creating your landscape what were you confident with and what would you want to improve on?

Thing what I was confident with was creating nice big mountain and also good imagination what has show me what I could build but the point is that I didn’t have as much time to create stairs from my gallery to the top of the mountain and that is what I was having in my vision while I was building a mountain but after I removed because I know it that I will have no time to do something with it and also after it was looking bad compering to my gallery. The thing what I will want to improve on is everything about this program (Unreal Engine). 

Make suggestions on how you could have strengthened your landcaping  skills?

I could watch some video on internet (tutorials) on how to build nice landscape also do some research about landscape maybe this could give me more ideas than I was already having. Asking friends for help or the tutor and ask them some questions about landscape, how to create a nice landscape. Also I could go on internet and search for nice landscape in games.

3. Making a gallery

How did you create your gallery?

I have started of building a big cylinder from geometric folder and on it floor and some walls, after I have choose some nice textures to those blocks. Next I have focused on details of my gallery from front and behind, in the middle of those detailing I have put a small crystals what were havin no effects and after they have effects like move 360 degrees and also I have copy and paste more crystals to those crystals and all of those crystals starts move around my gallery and give some light. After I have add fog, change the colour of sky, make my sky with clouds move a bit faster to create small effect of creating tornado, putting roof, stairs to second floor and windows on walls. Also I have create an effect of eclipse and then after I have start putting my work inside gallery.

Also I was having a small problem that I have lost my crystals because of Me, Owain and Leandro by mistake we click something what we should have not.

What object did you use and how were your architectural skills? 

To create my gallery I have been used blocks like:

Cylinder, square, rectangle, circle, etc.

I did have to create triangle to make my crystal and also I was thinking about using to make it roof but I didn’t have time to do that and that is why I didn’t and my roof is unfinished.

My architectural skills I think that they are on high level and I’m believing in my skills and in my self and with this type of confidence I can do a lot in Unreal Engine but a bit dissapointing is that we finish Unreal Engine at least for this year, that is what I’m thinking will happened because Owain has said that we gonna start a new project next week.

How well did you research to develop your gallery?

Research has gave me a lot of ideas starting from adding details to my gallery, giving me idea of making some kind of temple on water what will look like a tower made of wood. Also on how I gonna put my pieces and where in gallery and space what I will live between each art work. Even idea of columns came because of this research and also colour of my sky (orange) because 1 of galleries was using this colour.

What were you confident with and what would you do to improve your gallery?

The thing what I’m confident now is to ask tutor about something what I don’t know because I know tutor will help me and also asking friends. Except that I’m now confident with building nice gallery and different type od buildings because now I know how to use Unreal Engine and most of the settings. If I will don’t know something about Unreal I always can research on internet. To improve my gallery I could spend more time but for me was impossible because I was having lot’s of work to do in the same time but any way I could fix my crystals and also finish a roof and creating a nice landscape around it (mountains) those things were most important for me to finish but I didn’t.

4. Displaying your work

What pieces of your own work did you display? 

I have display screenshots of my gallery also my final pictures for my magazine, a Drunk Ninja and background (Tsunami) what I create for game Drunk Ninja in software called FlowLab. 

Why did you choose these pieces to display?

I have choose those pieces because they are most important for me while I’m doing this course also I think it is because I put most effect in to it and I love what I have created.

Could you have made your gallery space even better how would you do this?

I could have made my gallery space even better but time was my biggest rival and it didn’t allowed me to create third floor where I was thinking to place more art work from last terms and also to create new art work for my gallery.

5. How would you take this project further?

What extra features would you like to learn about in unreal to make your Gallery even better?

I would like to learn how to create rain for my world, tornado, water what is moving, rainbow, real time inside the game like if now is night then in the game is also a night, sun what is moving depends on time, trees, seagull, waterfalls, sound effects, sound of a ocean, sound of crystals, opening and closing doors by walking fro them. how to use lights properly on art work to it be looking amazing, changing colours of lights, use different textures for my character that are in Unreal but are not seeable until we click something. Also I will like to learn how to make some extra body parts to my character and how to join them together, maybe creating wings and make my character flying.

Owain: Screen Shoots of my (Gallery)

New screenshots 12.03.2019

Those are my screenshots what I took today and also this is not the end because I will add next screenshots next week on Owain lesson it is because in my house I don’t have Unreal Engine and I can’t do it in my house. Also I gonna take a screenshot of sound what I gonna put inside this gallery and also by screenshot and by my explanation I gonna show where and how to put sound to be working inside the gallery but of course I don’t know yet and Owain next week will show me how probably, if not I gonna research by my self on internet how to put sound in Unreal Engine. 

Owain said that will be higher level for things what he didn’t ask us to do and that is a thing what I’m going to do even if he will not help me do it by showing me how. I gonna find the way to solve this problem with the (Sound in the background).

A bit dissapointing that I have no more:

Crystals (Movable and what shining). 

I didn’t have time to do :

Mountains behind my temple-gallery.  

Waterfall.

Change a texture of my character. 

Completed roof. 

Stais what are leading from sea to ground floor.

Sound when playing in the game and walking around a gallery.

Rain what I was thinking about adding to the game.

Rainbow.

Maybe small ship what is looking for place to stop for some time until fog disappear, lighthouse will show him the way. This couldn’t happened because my crystals disappear because of thing what we have done.

Put some nice lights above my work to it gives nice effect and also to my work was more seeable.

Maybe some kind of tornado to show that my world could be also dangerous .

Change settings of my character like speed and jump and also maybe change size of my character.

Tsunami.

Water waves.

Putting some nature like trees, flowers and grass.

Also animals like seagull what will move in the way I will show it to it in the settings.

Sound of a Ocean and seagull.

26.02.2019

Today I was repering my destroyed world I start with putting second floor windows and also my images inside gometry block. I have work on my sun I have make big circle out of geometry and I place on sun and it gave me effect of eclipse. Also to go to second floor I have create stairs and I make big hole inside floor to my stairs could go fro it and also to my character could go to second floor. I have lose my cristals but at least I have proof that I created it already by the screenshots, the images what I have put in my gallery were screenshots of the gallery how was created from start to now and also work what I did for Mark 5 final images for my magazine. Next week I will put also to my gallery image of background for flowlab game and also my character from flowlab Drunk Ninja.

Next week also I will put to my gallery some kind of sound to be less boring when walking fro my gallery.

Next time I know to check something on internet or to make second copy of a save.

I was working on unreal engine to finish my gallery and now explenation what I have learned and what I build with it. First thing what I have done to my piece was that I change textures of wood from not realistic to more realistic by help from my teacher and after I have done that I place crystals above the building in simmetric way and make that they move 360 degresse around a building also I ask Owain if it is possible to change skybox from day time to night time and then he has show to me and to people what wanted to know also he has show me to change colour of sky and give idea of god rise. After I discover in settings that I can make clouds move faster on sky and it looks like a tornado. I have watched tutorials on how to make god rise and I finnally achieve what I wanted. Also I didn’t finish a fake sun what Owain was about to show me because was time to go and also because Me, Owain and my friend Leandro did make a mistake what we didn’t expect, that mistake destroy my work but at least Owain has help me back up something but not everything and next time when I gonna have lesson I gonna carry on repairing my work probably Owain is going to help me.

Also I’ happy that Owain has show me how to make a fog and that change my world completely, it is looking like my temple has change to lighthouse because of crystals what I was having.

There is only one thing that I’m dissapointed about and it is to do some things what I have done already (again).

[arielhrycykunit7]

Owain: Screen Shoots of (Building Gallery)

It is a big achievement what I have done with my gallery:

Crystals what shines and are moving 360 degrees around a building and also I add to it gold texture.

Textures

God rise

Skybox colour change 

Skybox effect of tornado 

Fake Sun (Circle block placed far away behind building)

Fog

Building on water what is looking like a lighthouse and I tried to make my building to look a bit old. Probably I gonna do something behind my building like mountains with waterfall with it 

Also I know how to change a texture of my character and how to place camera differently and how to change in settings speed of character and a lot more about my character probably most of the settings, those settings are cool and gives some fun to the person what is making his own game or any thing else.

Probably I have lerned today on my mistakes and I know some mistakes what I never gonna make again.

[arielhrycykunit7]

Owain: Reflective Journal

29.01.2019

I was building my gallery for all the final pieces what I have done for all the teachers, I enjoy building so much and also I learn new things like how to build nice gallery by using my imagination even better, by a mistake me and Owain has discovered something very nice looking a movable crystal what shines and in funny way I don’t know how it works properly but more crystals add them self to 1 crystal. I learn a lot in Owain lessons about Unreal Engine, next week I will continue building my gallery and I will try my best to create nice gallery. 

Also I will continue doing my gallery research and I will try to finish before next week. To also I have more ideas what I could do after and how to do it and maybe I gonna see some buildings that could move my imagination.

Now edited version by 03.03.2019 

I just forget to do screenshot of a crystal and I did go to far because I go to much to it I was enjoying this project so much but next week after this date 29.01.2019 it will be screenshot of movable crystals. 

[arielhrycykunit7]

Owain: Screen Shoots of (Building Gallery)

I have created what I was saying I will, floor has that nice wood panels texture also cylinder has that birch wood texture and I didn’t change walls to geometry it is because I’m thinking about putting windows on the walls and will be long as walls and I will put windows on left side and right side. Also next time I gonna put this support what I did in the front to the back to it looks like those supports are keeping my gallery from falling down. Next time I gonna put roof and I will try to play with a settings to I can learn more about this program because probably also we gonna use it next year in level 3 if they take me to level 3 and any way if I play with it now I could get better level and that is why I gonna ask Owain lot’s of questions about this program and I will try to make amazing gallery.

Already I enjoy so much doing this project and just keep it how it is and I will try even harder probably.

I’m also thinking if it is possible to do something with character change the texture or settings of him like speed or jump. I will see it next week if it is possible.

Annotation: 

The thing what I like about my research is that it gave me idea of what I want to create on water and it will be probably a temple made of wood, with different style of roof and I will try to my temple has look like it is holding on wood piles.

Also what I like about this research is that I can take some ideas of design from those images. Those images has inspired me now to produce amazing temple what will look like house. 

This temple what I’m thinking about will be so secured by some kind of energy what will keep strangers far away from it and also there is a room what is orange and I’m thinking about changing colour of sky to this type of colour to show my temple as not scary but more something like wonderful and only worthy people will be allowed in there. Probably me and students and also my teacher from my class are worthy.

I will place my images in my gallery like in the first image (on the top) but I will give less space probably between those images because I wanna fit in there lot’s of pictures. 

I love this lesson because it is taking everything good out of me, like some kind of skills what I have like good imagination and being patient.

Owain: Reflective Journal

22.01.2019

Today I was doing my work from past I was writing my evaluation for my (Flow Lab game called Drunk Ninja) and also I was collecting feedback from people about my game and writing a Pegi for my game. I didn’t have time to do the work that other students were doing but I know what they were doing and I will say now, they were researching 1 game, 1 animation and 1 VR experience in Unreal Engine. Also they were tasked to build their own galleries in the game but before they did that they were researching on the internet witch materials, types of lighting, layout and colour scheme tend to be used in this setting.

[arielhrycykunit7]

Owain: Research 3 different examples for the game 1 game 1 animation 1 VR experience.

Unreal Engine:

Is a creation of tools created to meet amazing peoples visions and is enable people to show their skills and visions on high level this program has most of everything needed to ensure success for teams or solo creators. Unreal Engine is the program with amazing performance and it is trust worthy. And I know that one day in this course I will create something good.

Animation:  DAVE

Animation can be showing in lots of different ways but this one what I have watch on (YT) was different from others what I have watch, it was kind of a short clip telling a story about the boy called DAVE and machines what were in his life to protect him and I’m sure that he create them to make his life easier. The models were 3D and I know straight away that the person who has create this animation put lots of hard work in to it and also I can see lot’s of details what most of people are forgetting when are making an animation like (Good sound, background, shadows, movable objects and etc). In the way it tells the story is funny, it makes the character DAVE run away from his house, from those machines because they were trying to stop him to go on his dating. The story is tying to tell us how the world can look like in the future. The thing what I like about this animation is that the character is looking funny and the story is made everything funny and I really enjoy watching this. Also If I gonna made an animation but I think that I will do a game probably then It will be a story about me how I did come to England and what I think about this country.

Screen Shots:

Web Link to the animation: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I3dXDOAjefQ

VR: Architecture

This VR experience is very useful for architects, that clip what I was watching was amazing because it was a some kind of project of a flat for people to live in or hotel room. Everything in that flat/hotel is looking so real like I might standing there and film that, the person is showing flat/hotel from different perspectives, different camera shoots and also that person didn’t forget about nice music to get as into his clip. Nice background outside of flat/hotel and detailed objects. All rooms in there are nicely made and probably if I could I probably wanna live in there. Person who create his presentation made very good work with Unreal Engine, if I made something with VR then it might be presentation of my room from my house but probably I will don’t know how to do it and I will do something different.

Screen Shots:

Web Link to VR experience: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MxU_7iOsxTU

Game:  Seasons of Heaven

When I was watching this clip with the thriller of this game, it shock me because I didn’t know that games can look that amazing and sweet when I saw a little boy going in different locations with his little friend (dog) and also in some places scary when see a big monsters chasing a little boy and his friend. The locations are looking like from a dream, it is probably the best looking game I ever seen and It might be that will be more games on Unreal Engine like that, then If I will buy computer I probably will play one of games made on Unreal Engine. This game will be friendly for every age group, it seems like it is going to be a game of the year. This story is going to be eye catching and probably in some moments sad, that is what I think it might be. This game is going to be amazing if everything what I saw on thriller is going to be in the game.

15.01.2019

How did you create your Ocean? 

I create object called cylinder and I resize to be that big that in the game I will have a illusion that it never ends, then I right click on the object called cylinder and I added texture of ocean (On right side will be box with settings and there is texture box). And then my map was covered with water but the point is that I could walk on water but in real life I be sinking.

What did you learn today?

I learn how to use Unreal Engine in this lesson and especially I learn what settings this program has to I can work with it in future.

What did you build?

I have build mountain, change texture of floor to wood and also I added Ocean what has covered hole world and after I started building house on big block of cylinder and it is house in the sky, I only build half of the house and next week I’m going to carry on.

What would you want to learn more about?

I will be happy to learn about my character model if it can have a gun in his hands and also if I can change texture of my character to my own. 

How do you feel about your work?

I feel great about starting new thing and it is something different than work from past and probably it is a thing that I will enjoy the most.
