Sprint 4: Crafting Realism - A Dive into Prop Creation and Particle Effects

In the thrilling journey of recreating Nuketown, Sprint 4 marked a significant step towards enhancing the scene's realism. This sprint delved into the creation of immersive props and atmospheric particle effects, adding life and detail to the virtual world.

Crafting a Jeep Frame Prop





One of the highlights of Sprint 4 was the meticulous crafting of a Jeep frame prop. The process involved a careful study of reference images and a keen eye for detail. Leveraging Unity's powerful modeling tools, I sculpted each contour and curve, ensuring a faithful representation of the iconic Jeep frame from Nuketown.

The prop creation extended beyond mere aesthetics. It required a thoughtful consideration of scale, positioning, and overall scene composition. The Jeep frame, once integrated into the scene, became a focal point, capturing the essence of the Nuketown environment.

Vintage Armoire for a Touch of Nostalgia





As for authenticity, Sprint 4 saw the creation of a vintage armoire. This prop was not just an object; it was a narrative element, telling a story of the era Nuketown represents. From the weathered textures to carefully chosen colors, the armoire became more than a prop — it became a piece of the scene's history and I am extremely happy we added this in for a prop.

Atmospheric Particle Effects: Clouds and Rain





`

To breathe life into the environment, Sprint 4 ventured into the particle effects. Two distinct effects took center stage: clouds and rain. Creating realistic clouds required a nuanced approach to particle system settings, ensuring they drifted seamlessly across the sky. The rain effect, on the other hand, brought a dynamic element, immersing the scene in a gentle shower that enhanced the overall ambiance with raindrops hitting the ground for another round of effects.


The integration of particle effects was not merely about visual appeal; it was about elevating the player's experience. The clouds cast shadows on the landscape, and the raindrops created ripples on surfaces, fostering a sense of presence within the digital world.

Looking Ahead


Sprint 4 marked a chapter of craftsmanship and creativity. The Jeep frame prop and vintage armoire, along with the atmospheric particle effects, contributed to the rich tapestry of Nuketown. As the journey continues, the focus shifts to refining details, optimizing performance, and ensuring every element aligns seamlessly to recreate the iconic Nuketown experience.

Stay tuned for more updates as we step closer to bringing Nuketown to life, one sprint at a time.

SevenSeasToGlory - Programmer Sprint 6   Ship Swaying Away From Islands  I got tasked with a card to have the Enemy Ships not collide and or run into the Islands. Being that the Islands are a super huge priority in this game we wanted the player feel immersive while playing so giving this task it's just right. Recruit Enemies This has been a highly requested element from our lead. She has always been asking for ally pirates. Given when you defeat a pirate a text prompt will pop up either sparing the pirate or defeating the pirate and if you spare the pirate, the pirate will be on your side fighting off other pirates.  Ally Pirates Fight Enemy Pirates I was also given a card when you recruit a pirate, that pirate would have to defend and protect you.  Friendly Pirate Class My producer also gave me a task to create a friendly pirate class. This was super easy because I just inverted a pirate class and ran with it. It has all the basic fundamentals of a pirate and even ...

Bootleg Studios - Programmer Sprint 1 Interpolating Interactable Selections Interpolating selections is a unique technique in game development to create seamless transitions from one point to another. In our project, I implemented this technique to smoothly transition between different interactable objects in our scene such as the OrderWindow, Still, Computer, and Backyard, in all one smooth transition using Interpolation. Interpolating Camera With Button Clicks() This process was very straight foward to me. With my IEnumerator function I just attach the function that has the coroutine onto to button click. So whenever you press and click which object you want to go to, there will be buttons around your pov to transitions to other areas (mainArea, orderWindow,etc). I can show some examples on how I did this process down below. Some problems I encountered on the way were definitely starting off and thinking how do i go about creating a clickable selection? Or upon clicking have my came...
