02.05.2019 - Project: Star Bounty - Gold Submission
Our team has made it to gold submission, today is the day I finally remove the WIP tag from this!

xx.xx.2019 - Eons Ago
During my second year in Hertfordshire University, I have made a Desert scene for Semester A and a Snow scene for Semester B projects respectively, I decided to try out something more greener for summer break and to also prevent myself from going brain dead before returning for the third year, here are my results so far.

Swapped out the last skull again!

Character by: Manouk Manoukian

Substance Paninter quick paint over.

Spent the weekend to replace the last two skulls as they were not working out. Wanted something at first glance to register as a skull ie: teeth / jaw.

Beta State update from our last Alpha submission!

New snow shader base

Moved the sun away to see how it performed not under direct sunlight.

Close up

New sand shader base

Close up

Alpha State update from our last Vertical Slice!

Latest update before diving into Alpha edits next week!

More progress insight on https://polycount.com/discussion/207840/wip-ue4-project-star-bounty

Been busy making multiple foliages. Took a while getting my headspace into it.

Sculpted this and reconstructed it in maya for placement to build out its shape. The buds glow as well.

Level04 Update!

New crystals on Level04. Replaced the old design.

How the shader performs.

Had to restart this shader 4 times! Also made them individual but vastly reduced tri count to compensate.

Level03D - Raised rock towers slightly higher, also added quick proxy ship. Added General Foliage and duplicated rocks around infront.

Level02B - Replaced some rocks around.

Level03C is now Level03D, scrapping the cave out in favour of this vista shot.

Map Overview

Placing RockCliff06 around and replacing older ones once again to see how it works overall.

Testing out simple mask variation.

Level04 Video Update

Added mostly background stuff and shifted a few things.

Lightning effect by Kidman Lee!

Overall Map shot of Level04

Discovered this by accident, not sure what caused the shader work to produce this effect but I do know that randomly plugging in the panner on the wrong node somehow produced this effect.

Shifting around stuff for the vista point.

Troopers by Nabin Phauja.
New Water by Kidman Lee.

New Start area!

Mostly inspired by the Vex from Destiny, I imagined a time maybe when the vex were more organic but still retaining that blocky architecture and decided to build out these rock formations.

Level02B - Went for a more dusk purple setting instead of the usual day time scenarios.

Simple Particle Setup.

Level03C- Tried to make it less cluttered, still having difficulty sculpting the fractal like plant in the middle.

Level04 - Mostly background update.

State II - Overall Update with particle effects and mostly environment progress, basically re-iterating over and over as the weeks go by.

Level03C - Texture testing, need to look into making a new set of foliage to fit the concept art.

Level03C - Was told to not use Level03 due to it not being really exciting composition wise, after working a rough blockout and having Manouk Manoukian work out over it concept wise for me to get a better composition to build out.

Worked on this level a little more over in class and back at home just to sort of have a finished shot.

Closer look into the Chasm. The Subtle particles done by Kidman Lee.

Currently holding back on the Greener level as I was told it isn't really exciting to look at composition wise, so I decided to work on the Snow environment shot for the time being.
