You Are Being Followed - 3D Assets
Worked on developing assets for You Are Being Followed by Uncommon Chocolate. I was tasked with creating a variety of objects for the main characters house, the town, a forest playground and the shopping mall. I also had some creative input with the building aesthetics and created various modular walls/windows/doors for the town. It was a very enjoyable experience and my first really foray into 3D.
This is a link to the trailer for the game: https://youtu.be/LeuK9c0a0QM?si=E17GnTNvDqYj6z1g
The models were created in Maya and initially created to be simple with competent topology. Due to the visual style of the game the assets were not UV Mapped or textured, the in game visuals relied on various shaders and lighting techniques. After the models were made we had to 'break them' by merging vertices, edges and adding additional edge loops.
Once a demo reel is made I will update this portfolio.
Main Characters House Props 1
Added modular cabinets which join seamlessly onto the sink. The chair was the very first model I made for the project.
Main Characters House Props 2
Smaller props seen in the main characters house. These smaller props were created to be in the kitchen and hall of the apartment building.
Dog props.
The main character has a pet dog so I wanted to make some props for him that you would see dotted around the house. Got the idea of a chewed sock from my experiences of having dogs and many odd pairs of socks during childhood.
Town Props 1
Various small props to be spread around the town. The graveyard pillar was originally made by the lead artist but he asked me to add some more detail to it.
Town Props 2
Added two variations of the bus stop, one with and one without an advertisement board by it. Added various traffic lights and road signs for the level editors to spread around the town.
Shop Signs
Different variations of shop signs that were placed around the town. It was a very small town but I made sure to have the essential signs for shops you would see in the smallest of towns; barbers, convenience store and pub signs.
Town Walls 1
Different variations of the original wall design created by the lead artist. We needed more variation of windows and door to place in the environment. I went around town and took some reference images and designed the windows around them.
Town Walls 2
More door and window variations. Made the large double doors and fancy windows for the pub after observing that trend in the various pubs in my city centre.
Playground Props
Different props for the playground in the middle of the forest. The animal slide was fun to make the face for but the climbing frames were and interesting challenge for me.
Shopping Mall Props 1
Small props to be used in the shopping centre. Made two variations of the shop sign for closed and open shops.
Shopping Centre Props 2
Some of the larger props in the shopping centre. Props such as the vending machines and Photo Booth were made of multiple props merged together and textures to achieve the 'glass' windows.
Childs toy in the shopping centre, decided to base it on aeroplanes.
Christmas Props 1
The terrible christmas props for the shopping mall, based them off tacky/cheap christmas decorations I found online.
Christmas Props - Present
Made a large christmas present for the christmas prop area, this one could be scaled and rotated around to create more.
Casino Props
The main feature of the shopping centre is the casino. I created many of the props in the small casino. The casino had an Egyptian theme so I added a sphinx, hieroglyphs and an Eye of Horus decoration. The Hieroglyphs do say something :)
Shop Signs
Various modular shop signs made for inside the shopping centre.
Construction Area Props
A small construction site is featured in the game. The jackhammer was the most interesting prop to make while keeping it low poly for the visual style.
A mystery statue hidden in the game, can you find this majesty. (Played around with the animators rigs one day and it became and easter egg only some will understand.)
