Rise of the Tomb Raider PC Release



So yesterday Rise of the Tomb Raider finally released on PC after so long of it only being on consoles. I played quite a bit of the game on the Xbox One however I am most looking forward to be able to get it for PC because I want to see what those graphics look like maxed out on PC.

The game has some really cool mechanics especially with the bow being able to climb walls if you shoot an arrow into certain walls. As well as that there are some amazing scenery and game playing it.

IGN rated this game a 9.3/10

Summary:

Rise of the Tomb Raider follows up on Crystal Dynamics' redefining prequel/reboot to the Lara Croft saga. In Rise of the Tomb Raider, Lara becomes more than a survivor as she embarks on her first great Tomb Raiding expedition. Experience high-octane action moments, conquer beautifully hostile environments, engage in brutal guerrilla combat, and explore awe-inspiring deadly tombs in the evolution of survival action.
In her first adventure, Lara Croft was forged into a true survivor, but she glimpsed a deeper, secret world. Now, after uncovering an ancient mystery, Lara must explore the most treacherous and remote regions of Siberia to find the secret of immortality before a ruthless organization known as Trinity. Lara must use her wits and survival skills, form new alliances, and ultimately embrace her destiny as the Tomb Raider.

Sculpting a Character in Mudbox

So today I have been using Mudbox to sculpt a character. The character itself is a turtle with its shell on. So to start off I decided to work on his skin first and within this I was using two main tools the first being the imprint tool and the second being the smooth tool. I started off with a stamp that comes with Mudbox and I would just stamp the area I needed to give it a bumpy area on the skin. I would then smooth off the more harsh areas so it doesn't have any major jagged lines on it. After doing this for a while I started to notice that it was giving off quite a stone texture to the skin which I started to like after a while. However when it came to the feet I changed it up a little as I smoothed the toes a lot more than the other parts of the body which makes them stand out more and when it comes to texturing this guy I can add more detail to it by changing some of the colours around. Next I started on sculpting on the shell which I made look very unique as I made some v...

The 12 Principles of Animation

1: Squash and Stretch - this is how rigid or soft and object is. So an object will never just take one size so if you drop a ball from a height when it hits the floor it get squashed down and stretch out the sides of it. 2: Anticipation - An action that tells the viewer what will be happening next. So if someone is shooting a gun the anticipation of the person squeezing the trigger of the gun tells you that they are going to shoot it before the animation is even there. 3: Staging - Presenting your idea so it makes sense. This could be just how the area around the objects so in the film Monster House every house has either a picket fence or a wall however the monster house itself has no wall or fence which gives it a sort of feeling of dread and then house looking all dark. 4: Straight Ahead and Pose to Pose animating - Straight ahead animation is the process of animating each frame in order. Then you have pose to pose which is where you draw three key frames then go back to draw...

9 Week project Update 02/03/2017

So I have both my high poly and my low poly models finished and today I spent my morning UV unwrapping the sword in which I have had a few issues especially with some of the poly because they are in awkward on the model so trying to stitch them up so it comes out right has taken more time than expected. This is the UV mid way through unwrapping the model:   This is the UV finished: Next week I need to have the high poly baked onto the low poly and hopefully will move onto texturing the model. Next part I did was to UV unwrap the sheathe for the dagger which was a lot more simple and a lot easier to do after finishing the dagger UV.
