Basic Rigging

Skeleton

Bones on mesh

I forgot to add the clavicle bones at first, but I got them in there.

Constraints

I tried looking up shapes that others used for their rigs, but there are so many different ones out there!

 I'd say the hardest part of this process was skinning. Especially the hands. Whoever made this model should've separated the fingers better.

Intro to Blueprints

 

My two awesome blueprints

BP_Crate: G key input will crank the saturation negatively. I included the timeline in this one. I used a vector instead of a float, and made the box go up in space.

BP_coolCrate: When entering the collision sphere, a Niagara system will activate. When you leave the sphere, it will deactivate.

Basic Lighting & Materials

 

Lighting and Environmental Goals: Mid-day, Overcast, Foggy

I wanted to make it so that the distance is enshrouded by fog and that the water is very opaque. For the first pass, I enabled volumetric fog and tweaked the settings to what I liked. I also made a material instance of the water to make it more opaque and less green. I then opened up the wood materials and desaturated and darkened the colors. I did to make the wood match the dock wood in my reference.

I made a material instance for the godrays, pots, chairs, rug, desk, lamps, etc.

UE5/Perforce Basics: Homework 2

 

 Beauty shot

I found a nice asset pack for forest landscaping called "Stylized Provencal." My idea for this scene was a cozy cottage in the forest. I wanted it to be nice and warm, so I made the time of day sunset. And I don't know why, but a lot of the time, stylized foliage is emissive, so I had to go into the material instances and set the emissive parameter to 0 for a handful of them.

Close up

This is what the scene looks like zoomed out. If it's not in frame, don't worry about it!
