Started the modeling the frames of the door and drawbridge, I'm working in Maya for this part of the assignment!
Next I'm going to start working on the chains of the drawbridge before diving into the magic door itself.

Got started on my final assignment of the quarter—an epic door!
My door is inspired by WoW and Star Stable’s stylized game art, I’d love to hand paint my assets for the project.
The sequence starts with a drawbridge which is worn and weathered, revealing the pristine magic door underneath.

Some more progress on my interactive scene (watch with sound on!)
I've added set dressing to make the scene feel more complete, and am slowly implementing functionality to each of the props. Still lots of sound design and lighting to add as I go, but I think it's turning out really fun!

I got started with some of the actions I'd like to pursue in my blueprint toy project--I'm making a scene of children's toys that have a light/dark mode. In light mode things will be physically bright and conceptually innocent, in dark mode, things go off the rails! Having fun so far!

Spent this week blending materials and setting the environment's atmosphere! I think it's really starting to come together, just need to nail down my interior, add some sound and button up any remaining details.

This week I kicked off set dressing! I'm running into some issues importing from Fab today-so I focused on getting some grass and snow clumps added to the landscape foliage.
Definitely lots of work to go to make it all look cohesive but I'm excited!

First Dev Log of the quarter!

Finished blocking out my set dressing project and excited to start filling it out with assets. I'd like it to be a snowy, mountainous scene complete with a thicker tree line and a distant mountain range outside of the area I'm focusing on dressing.
