3D Models


Making a Kukri Dagger 


I found a reference for a simple Kukri in google and use it as base for my model, and started working on the Kukri dagger weapons for the Game Jam.


First I created the main model using Maya


Then i created the high poly version in maya so that i use it for the baking process


I sent the dagger to see the opinion of my team.

I then went back and did some reaserch of symbols that I can apply to the weapon to make it better.

I found an alphabeth called Ge'ez script


This was the anicent version of the Ethiopian scripture

I tried obtaining some old scripture to use as symbols for the weapon


I found out that the amharic scripture derivates from the Ethiopiac scripture


I will use this letters to upgrade all my weapons texture and make them even better.

Weapons


The kukri has now a name tag to make it belong to the character.


I updated all my swords to suits effects, the cursed sword have a matching design to the final sword.


The demonic sword had to be changed from red to purple to match the evil spirit.


Sandals


I quickly created a pair of sandals for the main character using some reference that i found in google.

I made one, made sure to have it UV mapped then mirrored to have another one.



Then i made some simple texture for the sandals.




Bow



Stalactite

I quickly created a stalactite for the cave level, this is supposed a statich mesh that will fall and distrupt the player.





The Statue

Make Big statue for temple

To archive this task i followed the guidelines that were made for the enemy statue head


I found a free female head asset in sketchfab and downloaded it to match the character in the concept


I started sorting out with creating my model in Maya


and then applied a simple texture


How it appears in the game

Me and my friends from 10th Percent Studios were discussing about working on a new game, we haven't made anything since last spring, so we discussed ideas and mechanics for a brand new game, set on a tropical island. 10th Percent Studios presents Coral Cove Set foot on the shores of Coral Cove, a once-thriving paradise now shrouded in an ominous mist that conceals the island's tragic past.

3D Weapon Workflow

Image
This is my guide, using my workflow to create a 3D Model for a weapon by starting from a concept idea. We will require the use of these specific software's: Autodesk Maya  (low Poly mesh),  ZBrush  (high poly mesh), and  Substance 3D Painter  (baking and textures). Then importing the final product into a game engine, in this case Unreal Engine 5 . Autodesk Maya I usually work with Autodesk Maya to build my base model from scratch, this software can be challenging for beginners, it will require knowledge and skills to be used efficiently. ZBrush This is probably the most challenging software to use, it took me sometime to get use to the interface, in my advice is best to use a drawing tablet and a pen for ZBrush. ZBrush can also be an optional step, because you can actually create the High Poly version in Maya.  ZBrush allows us to add details and sculpt our models, it is great for more complex meshes. Substance 3D Painter Once both versions of the model are completed we can move on
