DevLog #3

Hey there everyone! I'm Zach, writing an update for our game "In Development". I'm going to be showing off some of what I've gotten completed inside the game so far! I am an artist, and I primarily work on the animation and rigging side of the game. For those who don't know, rigging is how we add a skeleton and joins inside of models in order to animate them moving around. Just like your joints control how much your elbow or knee can move, so too can we use those same ideas in rigging 3D characters!

  These animations are important to give a feeling of how the character's personality can shine through!

Here is our first NPC, Mr. Fuzzy the Bear! 

He is a bear that needs your help in the forest biome we're creating. The textures are almost done and then he will look much more bear-like!

  
Next up we have Leo the Snow Leopard!

He is a cute leopard that needs your help in the snow mountain biome we're creating. I had a rough time animating him as his poly count is too high, but that will be fixed this week! I plan on adding animations to his tail and getting him to mime licking his paw to help better convey his cute personality!

And last, Robert the Bat

I plan on adding more animations to each character, these are just the idle animations that play when you first meet them! I'll be adding a "talking" animation and a "celebration" when you've completed their respective quest after you talk to them! 

That's all I have for this week's devlog, I hope to be back again soon!
