2. Content Development for TI FPS Game Character Modeling Weapon Modeling Level Modeling

3. Hong Kong SDU

4. 6,000 – 10,000 polygons Body, feet, head, arms are modeled seperately

5. Use photographic reference whenever possible.

8. Facial modeling using splines

9. Spline -> Mesh

10. Wrinkles and details are added using Mudbox

11. Create a lo-res mesh from the hi-res mesh.

12. MRM causes nasty artifacts

13. Fix edges so mesh looks smoother

14. Create UVMapping co-ordinates for the lo-res mesh

15. Use projection mapping to create a Normal Map

16. Use original photo to create small details

18. Combine the two Normal maps

20. Weapon Modeling

21. Use more polygons in area closest to player viewpoint

22. Maximize UVWMap so important areas have more UVW Space

25. Texture map creation

26. Setup lights to render ambient shadows

27. Ambient Occlusion Render

30. Level Creation (Tree Models)

35. Onyx Tree (procedural tree modeler)

36. Select a few branches and export to 3dsmax

37. Break the branch into smaller branches and render them to a texture.

39. The lo-poly branches look great from the side but a bit flat from other angles.

40. The mini-branches are placed onto the tree trunk.
