Attract Trailer - Rough Edit

1st take on the attract trailer
Some shots are too long still-- need more cuts matching on the music.
Will update once the final is ready.

Moonbot Project

I've been working on a project for Moonbot Studios...and while I can't give much away (other than it's an educational app for kids), I've got a few images to show:

Still working on my character rig made to fit the UDK skeleton

I'm not exempt from making my character dance

Reference: Attract Trailers

First up, Devil May Cry 4:



Here we get to see some bits of gameplay and a lot of cutscenes. Enjoyable trademark music amps up the atmosphere along with some general idea of the world, what the story is about, very brief glimpse at different characters and what you'll be doing for the game (namely kicking demon booty). You also get to see a lot of really flashy moves that you can do in-game as well as some of the weapons you'll be getting.



This attract trailer shows cars spinning out at times as well as scenery. Mostly focused on the cars, but still shows nice mixed shots.



...as a bonus, this DMC HD Collection trailer shows a nice mix of the different games together-- which could be used for putting together different levels and the like; with defining music for different tracks



aaaaand this Silent Hill one shows a lot of really nice gameplay (and I really like this song)

Particle Systems: Falling Leaves

I've been looking at the default UDK leaf particle system to make my own for the racing game. I had previously attempted to make particles for falling leaves, but I am still not entirely satisfied with it-- so I went ahead and looked for more reference.

Cherry blossoms blizzard - they fall way faster at 3:35 - 4 minutes in

Ideally, I'd like to make something everyone can use, so I looked at these for general reference as well:

While there is no specific tutorial on falling leaves, I believe that Eat3d's Creating Dust Particles tutorial should help me out in making more believable particles.

Texturing

Trying to texture this guy in 3Dcoat...

Testing in UDK (gotta fix my AO and normals!)

Particle Systems: Explosion

We've been dabbling into particle systems with unreal cascade. Following Eat3D's tutorials for explosions, I tinkered with the settings and made this:

I'll be using it in my racing level for when the cursed monsters get destroyed.
