3D models
Heres a practice model of an alien reptile creature I done in maya.

Being trying some 3D modelling of the characters, A bit high poly at the moment but still getting use to the software. [Andrew Smith]

Mushroom Platforms (William Trail)
Different plant life, one of them is colour coded.
(William Trail)
“Example” Mushroom platforms can help player clear large gaps while keeping everything organic looking.
Because there are enemies in the level its only natural for them to have a small outpost, they have set up base near the cave you must get to.. one can be on the platform and the other can be patrolling the stone pillar path behind it.
The plants are there just for show and is not final. (William Trail)
Other type of mushrooms, this one can be used as a spring, when you stand on the top the four bits in the middle lower including the head of it and once you get of you bounce to a higher place.(William Trail)

Hey Guys I’m trying out this new thing of making concept art. Do you know how to put a Maya file in Photoshop? Basically what I want to happened is to get my model in Maya, snapshot a pose/angle and then put in in Photoshop with a clear background. At the moment, what is happening is whenever I snapshot in Maya, I get this annoying black background! I only want to get the actual image so I can play around with the layer.
Space ship Part 1 (crash-landing part) Not finished yet.
mock up of the level in maya rendered out [Andrew Smith]
Modeling of the Sci-Fi headquarters. I need some feedback from the person who’s modeling the rest of the level in order to test the proportions and do adjustments before start doing the uv’s. [Pedro Colaco]
Final design to match Luis’s background and design
Spaceship crash with texture [Pedro Colaco]
Kim wot do you think? I change some colours to test it out. you decide. But i thing it is important to sharpen the platforms to make it stand out?
mocking about if you like it i will continue
Some flower models i done based of the ones in the level luis drew.

Heres some rocks i modeled to be placed around the level they have some really basic textures .[Andrew Smith]
Kim I uploaded the file again. It should look like these pictures below. I hope this time you would be able to open the Maya document named: “Scenes”. If not then… I don’t know what the next plan is?
Finished modelling on the Hi-tech Headquarters. Textures still under development. [Pedro Colaco]
Starting to model our character. Very low poly and thinking of animating it by vertex as the Master AL suggested. Any comments guys?
04- Pratically finished. Just need some little adjustments and I trying to decide how to build the fins on the tail.
05- and i already made some painting on zbrush but i wasnt able to export it to maya yet
character with texture
Here is some of weapon designs ( untextured) based off my earlier sketches. let me know which ones are working and which aren’t ….I have also tried to keep them low-poly as well.
Small Blades :
Spears:
swords :
low poly weapon design untextured [Andrew Smith – Chara Dev]
Heres one design for the plant monster I’ve done, i was thinking the stem part of it can lash out at you when the person approaches, I also thought that it could grab you and swallow you into it but thats not an option for now.
Rigging in a good pace
Hopefully the final texture for the character.
I am thinking about calling him”Krk”. What do you guys think?
Here are the tile textures for the ground/platform. And a quick view of what the textures look like on unity (THIS ISNT THE PLATFORM)
possible bad guy/ plant creature model i forgot to show before [ Andrew Smith-chara Dev]
Weapon lowest poly ever!
I was just thinking… maybe I don’t need to make a 3d mesh of the tree trunk? since is so big and it acts like a background, maybe we should just do it by 2d right? this is to save polygons.
Plant design i done for the backgrounds.
Tough part, setting the controls of the rig.
Environment Development.
Different Environment Designs.
1st image from top left is an alien Jungle with huge trees growing out of it which cover the sky’s
1st image on right is with our hero looking down on a group of soldiers who made there camp outside the jungles borders.
2nd image on left is another weird poisonous swamp land with toxic grounds and mutated trees.
2nd image on right is a view from a walk way on the Alien Mother Ship
3rd image on left is inside the Alien Mother ship, i thought it would be good to draw what it would look like in game.
3rd image on right is the same image on the left but coloured.
Bottom left image is a picture of an alien ruin on the side of a mountain.

Colour test
Final colour scheme? Let me know what I need to change xD I think the colour is boring
Nearly finished
Plant Concept
Bridge/asset concept. Thinking of adding blue flames/orb. Any suggestions to add on or take out?
[Pedro Colaco]
One quick attempt to show how can we play with the botanical references
[Andrew Smith]
Heres a quick design of the main characters path though the level [Andrew Smith]
Heres some quick designs of the crash site and the hostile alien environment.
Three versions of the map I created based on the group chat and the tutorial with Al.
Monochromatic, color and color with descriptions.I used 3 levels of distance, the first is 3d, with the main trees and bushes and platforms. All the other ones are made in 2d. [Pedro Colaco]

Drawings for the headquarters (the first is which i like the most) [Pedro Colaco]
Drawing references for the space ship crash [Pedro Colaco]
Drawing studies for the vine tree [Pedro Colaco]
Quick sketch for the checkpoint idea not sure if you done it yet but here it is, I call it the warriors shrine it is made to resemble the spear and shows the race of the lizard people that it is a safe place for the warriors of there planet to rest.
Character Design and Development.
As i researched, one of the processes to build a character is making its sillouette consistent. Therefore I tried a new method to improve the main character. Its also due to the influences of the new artists i’ve been looking at. [Pedro Colaco]
The coloured drawing is a sketch of main character’s head. Inspired of lizards, fish and rabbit. [Pedro Colaco]
Sketch of the character with color. The yellow stripe will make a beam when he runs and it will be a mark of his character. [Pedro Colaco]
Not being satisfied by the previous pattern, i tried a new version in black and white, so it would be easier to achieve the match i wanted. on the right side are the shades of grey i used. What do you think guys? [Pedro Colaco]
Another Black and white version of the character. More simplified. I’ll try a color version of these one now. [Pedro Colaco]
Colour version of the last B&W drawing. I suggest that the colors of the jungle would be like the background of this illustration, because it is the complement color of the ones used on the character and it will stand out on the game. Also since it is an alien jungle it would have an unique fixture. Reds, oranges and ocres… [Pedro Colaco]
The head of the character in more detail [Pedro Colaco]
.
Quick colour version of the previous drawing, just to test the colors. [Pedro Colaco]
New design for the head of character [Pedro Colaco]
Heres some character desgins / character development. I have been working on for the main characters. Still a working progress. [Andrew Smith]
For those who didn’t believe he could run here it is: Running cycle study of the main character (work in progress)
i was working on a turn around sheet for the character so far i got this.
minion jungle monster? What do you think? any alterations? let me know. I’m going to start with the queen now. (similar style of course)
The Queen plan and her babies!
This is the finalized concept art for the jungle monsters. I’ll begin doing the mesh later or tomorrow. so before then. let me know if there are any suggestion or alterations. Thanks!
