Sprint #3 Delivery

For this sprint I primarily completed setting up a realistic metal bending simulation for the grate breaking sequence in the ending. This will allow us to export the simulation as a VAT - which are very performant, into the level blueprint in-engine. This could also be used in other areas of the level to demonstrate wear-and-tear into geometry or if we want to bend/break/destroy any other metal (like the door). I also troubleshot the smoke FX, and finalized the lightning VFX by reintroducing the original light flash.

Sprint #2 Delivery

For this sprint I polished my lightning FX. I created spline tools for 3d artists to use around the environment for pipes and cables. And I setup fog cards to add to the atmosphere.

Anthony Monteagudo - CYBERSTEIN Summer Sprint #1 Delivery

For this sprint I am polishing the lightning VFX using Niagra and Houdini. I've been utilizing advanced Houdini techniques such as VATs and setting up destruction for debris (will be useful for future destruction simulations!).

Sprint #7 Delivery

For this turn-in I finished the lightning effect that triggers upon the pressing of the switch button, as well as a rain effect that is displayed on the windows of the building to signify that it is raining outside. I hooked up the lightning to ryan's switch_bp with his help, and I provided audio for both the lightning crack and the rain ambience. The lightning also manipulates the exposure of the post processing to flash upon appearance, as well as leaving the room darker after the sequence.

Sprint #6 Delivery

For this sprint, I shared the vfx work with Heather. We decided that I would take the lightning VFX, so I worked on those, and they are almost complete. They just need to be touched up and implemented into the game. I also helped Heather and did research for other VFX, and helped Ryan with implementing set driven keys and custom attributes to improve his animation workflow.

Sprint #5 Delivery

For this Delivery I was onboarded onto the Cyberstein project, learning about their project structure and goals, and we eventually figured out what I could be tasked with. I mostly worked with Heather, learning how she developed her blueprints and assisted her where needed - mainly with the spline movement of the saw. I also looked into how we could incorporate my procedural generator into the outside of the environment so that you could see the cyberpunk world from the windows of the building.

Sprint #4 Delivery, Asset/Feature Complete

This sprint I fixed the rowing so you can only move when grabbing the oars. I also set up Pascal to color change according to his mood and provided the current Animation State Machine, with Thomas's help with changing Pascal's material and West's help with the state machine's flow. https://youtu.be/-ZQjXJzkxPY
