Week 12

Guest Speaker - Jerry Stamoulis, Mercades Benz

Group Meeting
This week we no presentations so most of the time was dedicated on our group projects. Our group discussed on strategies on what to do for our final presentation & other work that was needed to be completed. Daniel & Macky still had to complete their part of the modeling(truck) & Andrew was still working on the environment in UE4 doing research on how to solve problems raised in UE4. Andrew managed to also texture our models in UE4 briefly showing his process to the group, Myself and Shanny had already complete out part of the modelling (excavator & crane) so together we wanted to properly understand how to texture for 3DS to UE4, we also wanted to apply decals to our models to enhance the realism of the scenes for our presentation.

Independent Study
Myself and Shanny met up on the weekend to do research discussed in our group meeting. We managed to learn how to make decals and apply them in UE4 using this tutorial . We chronolapse the process of creating and applying decals in the video below.

We also discussed strategies on how we should approach our final presentation. We have written up guild lines for our group which can be found here & also a quick draft of the presentation which can be found here.
