EXP1 SUBMISSION

Terrain

Strategy

The letter and number combination for my island is N and 6. I have used 3 strategies to reveal and conceal the letter/number combination. These strategies are shadows, placement of objects and the shape of the terrain. On macro scale, I've created a river flowing through a small section of the terrain create a lower case n and the number 6. In some parts of the terrain I've manipulated the surface in the shape of N and 6. As for micro scale I've used the vegetation and sun to create shadows of 6 objects and shadows of the letter N. I've placed 6 objects grouped together and for the walls of the Chinese house, I've modeled it so that it creates a N and 6 from top view.

Sketchup models

These are the models i created for my level.
This bridge model is used in the 3rd scene. I originally used a bridge from cryengine3 but the material was weird so i had to create my own.

These Asian inspired models is for the 5th and final scene of my level. The scene is my recreation of the ZhuoZheng garden. Cryengine3 lacked structures that would fit in this asian scene so again i created my own models.

Teleportation Triggers

My terrain is massive and so it's a little hard to get around for those unfamiliar with my island. The triggers allow the users to get to all 5 scenes in a specific order. I added a simple model to the triggers just to identity where they are. The model is inspired by the TV series 'Stargate'.

Trailer

The trailer is about a man who woke up finding himself on an unknown island. He starts exploring the island thinking he's the only one there then releases he's wrong. He encounters obstacles and fights for his life to survive on this mysterious island. He also discovers teleportation devices that lead him to different places making his journey more interesting and challenging.

Week 5 - draft

Decals

Brushes

Entities

Vegetation

Strategy

I have thought of applying shadow to the environment to create either the letter N or the number 6 but the skybox I used is a night skybox so its hard to create any shadows. Can i add a moon? Will there be any light coming from the moon.

Other ideas include: vegetation arranged in the shape of the letter and number, having entities of the same quantity as the number or modify the shape and details of the terrain in the shape of N and 6.
