Journeyman Weekly Blog - Week 7 - Down in the Dumps

 Hi again!

This weeks blog is going to be a bit brief unfortunately, as I had some setbacks in work progression due to being ill.

Despite the setback, I managed to clutch up on the materials for the whip, finalising them in Substance Painter and exporting 1k and 2k versions of the texture set for the design team to choose which one they would like to implement. Below is a screenshot of the finalised textures in Blender, I should note as well that I incorperated a basic WIP rig to the whip to show that the energy portion of the asset would retract when not in use. Again, more parralels to Star Wars, but hey it's pretty difficult to make a tube with a glowing stick coming out of it not look like a Lightsaber, right?

Before I go, this week the team also voted on a team name, as opposed to just "Team 12". By a margin of eight votes to six, "Belmont Industries" would be the group's name going forward, Belmont being in reference to the character from Castlevania, who also inspired the design for our player character.

Well, that's all for this week, thankfully next week is Easter Break, so I can rest up and get some light work in so i can get back to working at full efficency by the time the team comes back together, hopefully this sickness doesnt drag me down any longer. Until next time!
