This is where I am at for thesis, I added transitions, and fixed some of the lighting. I need to find music for it so it’s not silent.

[hwebberart]

The lighting needs to be worked on, it is currently too bright, and rendering needs to be tweaked because the rain and snow don’t render in right away. Materials on Summer island also need to be worked on.

Here are shots of the rain I have added to the Fall Island, and some snow to the Winter Island 

[hwebberart]

Here are my updated islands. I added some fog and clouds and fixed some textures on them. I’m still not finished with Summer, but we are making progress with a lot.

[hwebberart]

Here are some ground textures, and my balloon texture, they aren’t 100% finished, but here is the basic look of them. The Summer one I want to try and do some vertex painting on a new texture to make the water so it’s not just a plain blue texture. I am in the process of adding more elements to each island, also adding lots of flowers to the Spring/Summer, and more sticks and stuff to the fall and winter. Then I will be starting to create the environments surrounding them.

Here is a new updated schedule, moved some things around, we are moving along nicely...

[hwebberart]

I also started modeling some different rocks, so here are 3 different versions, I will create a few more also this week.

My new schedule for when and what I will be working on week by week till the end

[hwebberart]

A more finalized updated animatic for my thesis. Not perfect and a lot of these props will be moved around and swapped out

[hwebberart]

New schedule for my spring semester for the rest of thesis

[hwebberart]

I tweaked some of the foliage scenes, and added in some other elements. 

This week is presentations, so getting a lot of work done. 

This week I will work on sculpting the grounds some more, and finalizing them, and start texture studies for the balloons! I will also be posting a new animatic with all these new foliage things added! 

[hwebberart]

Here I put together some foliage tests for all the different islands, Fall, Spring, Winter and Summer

[hwebberart]

I added some small plates onto these balloons which they will be the magnetic plates that help the balloons interact with the magnetic field that is in the air holding the islands up.

New Thesis blockout now uploaded. Still working on finalizing. 

[hwebberart]

My main balloon design, and my second and third balloon designs for my thesis project. Might tweak the basket some more and play with the shapes of the balloons, but have the main builds done! 

Hours spent this week putting my unreal basic blockout together and these balloons finished, about 10 hours. 

Next week, add more to my unreal blockout, and try some more ground sculpts!
