Modelling: Magpie Gunship WIP1.0

Currently working on a new modelling/texturing project; the Magpie gunship. Built mostly from imagination, its supposed to be a big futuristic heavy-armoured gunship/troop carrier type aircraft (think the love-child between an Apache and an Osprey)

Only built the basic geometry for the front end so far, with a few little areas of detail just to keep my art direction the same. Roughly 2 1/2 hours work so far. (excluding rendertimes)

Traffik Tool Demo

Handed in my final submission for my Major Project on Monday. Part of the submission included having to give a presentation on the working and design behind Traffik. Included in that presentation was a video which demonstrated the tool's functionality and work flow. Here is that video.



I'm planning on redoing the video in time for a few showcase events taking place over the next few months, along with a remake of a few other shots and scenes that I've worked on over the last few years. More posts to follow, so keep watching this space.

Traffik for Maya WIP

As explained in previous posts, I am currently working on my Traffik for Maya tool. The project is now almost complete. The construction toolset is 99% finished, and the simulation module requires only a few bug fixes and some tweaking. Below is a screenshot of the finished tBuild UI, along with a quick test network built using the tool.

I have also created a few short video clips demonstrating the simulated traffic in action, after it has passed through tSimulate. As you can see in the video, there are unfortunately still a few issues with certain track pieces. This is mainly down to curves not existing in the right place in world-space, something easily fixed.
