After Effects UI

December 16, 2014 in 3D, Props

I wanted to expand my knowledge and brush up on my After Effects skills, so I decided to make an animated UI for one of the props in my Sci-Fi Hallway. Learned a ton about expressions and found this really neat preset called DKOscillator. Super helpful for making UI elements repeat without having to keyframe every little movement.

Not 100% happy with the way it turned out, but I think the basic idea is there and if this were to become a functional UI it would be much better. For now it is just a looping animation. The great thing is that I managed to get it into UE4 using a flipbook texture sheet; well 4 to be exact.

So excited about the class I'm taking through UArtsy. It's an Environment Creation class with a focus on modular design and implementation into UE4 taught by David Lesperance. I even got access to David's other environment class! Here's what I'm made so far.

Muscles of the Face

Finished up learning/sculpting the facial muscles. Did everything but the hyoid bone and the muscles of the throat. Those will come later, probably sometime in September.

All done!!!

Finally finished the Norn Warrior for the ArenaNet Art Test. Hooray! Time to work on a beauty shot paint over. Check out the Gallery page for all of the renders.

Textured O2 Tank

Man, this thing is looking sexy now. dDo is such an amazing tool. Really starting to get the hang of it and adding in custom elements. Think I got the glass transparency working too and the dial is definitely looking real sexy. I did the text in Photoshop but had to resort to Illustrator to get the tick marks just right. Now to just get some beauty shots done in Marmoset. Here's a quick peak.
