"Tangled" VR Experience Sprint #2 and #3

 For Sprint #2 of the "Tangled" VR Experience I was tasked with posing Pascal in certain poses that he will do during the storyline of the experience. Below is a screen shot of them ready to be used, but still need to be fixed and animated.


For Sprint #3 I was in charge of the water VFX! I made a Particle System for the water splash when the oar hits the water. Afterwards I created a Niagara System for the water splashing off the sides of the boat as it moves. I still need to slow down how quickly the water particles travel. I'm not the best at blueprints and using Unreal Engine, so I'm pretty proud of myself! Neither of these are in the experience just yet, so here are the screenshots of them in Unreal!

"Tangled" VR Experience: Sprint #1

 For this sprint I was able to produce some test animations! Due to the Pascal rig not ready to be animated, the animators on the team found a rig very similar to that of a chameleon. With this rig I referenced live footage of chameleons (mostly using their tongue) to understand what a functional chameleon rig would work like.


Linked below are the reference clips I used!

Concept Art and Shape Language

 This week I made concept art for five different characters! I did lots of research into the characters and/or the previous iterations of their personalities. I then recreated my shape language slides to include my own art work and to show how the shape language translates to our experience's intentions.

Tale of the Dormouse Slides

 Here are the slides I've done for the Dormouse's Hero's Journey! We all used the "Oil Paint" filter so they looked uniform! I had fun photo-bashing these images!

Finished Crate (Textured and Rendered)

Here is my finished crate after I painted it in Substance Painter and put it in UE5! The geometry really looks rough but I'm glad my texture looks okay! 


Pokemon VR Experience: Final Sprint

 This sprint I re-did two of the Professor's animations! The original animations were causing issues so I replaced them with these. Now ...
