Lighting Workshop Module #4

For this week's lighting assignment I did challenge #1. I used the doorway as the main focal point of the scene, while keeping 80% of the scene in the shadows.

I used the "Fantasy Cave Environment Set" from the Unreal Marketplace and deleted the existing lighting, relighting the scene from scratch. All the assets in this set has been converted to nanite.

In this scene I added a gap in the top of the cliffs to allow god rays to flow through, used a post process volume to control the exposure, added an exponential height fog for volumetric god rays.

Lighting Workshop Module #3

 For this week, I used a three-point lighting setup on a dragon model to demonstrate a grainy grunge map, playing around with the roughness and metallic values to help bring out the reflective areas of the texture. After making the material, I made a material instance to allow real-time value changes.

 Here is the Master Material:

Lighting Workshop Module #2

 

I used a SkySphere with an HDRI to light this scene including depth of field post processing. Added four spheres with black, white, mid grey, and chrome materials to check lighting values.

My first render of the provided Panther model using a key light (Red), rim light (Blue), and fill light (Green).

Week 15 VR Interactive Characters (Final Pass)

 This week I created some final pass animations for Bowser Jr. Two interactables, one awareness, and as for the idle, the team decided that the idle from the clean pass was good for the final pass. I developed a Pet animation for when Bowser Jr. is petted on the head. A Poke animation will play when Bowser Jr. is poked by the player. A surprised animation plays when in proximity of Bowser Jr. Catch and clapping will be used in conjunction with proximity of the character. Additionally, I updated Bowser Jr.'s model using the existing skeleton and used that for these animations. These animations and rigs along with their source files are uploaded onto Perforce.

Week 13 VR Interactive Characters (Clean Pass)

This week I polished up Bowser Jr.'s rig adding hand and toe bones along with additional bones for the hair and ribbon. I created controllers for these features and moved on to create clean pass animations. I made a clean pass on the idle animation, the "clap" awareness animation, and the two interactive animations which are the carry and catch animations. These animations along with the source files for each of them with the default rig are uploaded to Perforce. For next week, I plan on polishing these animations more and make more adjustments to the skin weights.
