On the Level Team

For this sprint I join up with level team who just lost an artist, he resigned. one of the design guys had a level terrain made before the sprint started. all that was needed was to be imported in unity, easy right? I'm afraid not, not only I had trouble importing it in unity but it kept crashing on me. 


I had came to a conclusion that his terrain was too high of polys. so I had to import into 3ds max to reduce some polys. two million, yes two million was the number of polygons on his mesh. i had a few solutions to reduce count. first one was to manually remove edges and verts that was a no go. another  way was to use the pro optimizer modifier which works.

the next step is 3d modeling with the base mesh already completed the only thing is to model the armor around it. using the hard surface the one of my peers introduce to me made it easy to model in 3ds max instead of sculpt the details in mudbox which are my weaker skills.What was hard about doing this technique is that it creates many vertices with are difficult to keep track of. After setting up my the model sheets as reference I just start with pulling out faces so that there separate elements.

My whole process for this has been looking inside the book seeing how the dnd came up with the numbers i see in the monster manual.
