EP2-Week1-Independent Task

Exporting materials by using CryExporter
This is the first problem I met during I was 'generating material'. Then I changed the the path of the Cryengine3 folder to disck D. Therefore the "Adminstrator" things would not bother me.
This is the second problem I had during I was exporting the "dummy" in 3ds max, the reason is I forgot to selected the button of "Add selected".

The "Materials Editor" in Cryengine pop up when the materials exported. However the materials seemed not be exported properly. 
Reload the "Object", the name of model would be showed up then dragged it to the scene. 
After changed the surface type and parameters in "Material Editor", the materials still didn't come up. This is the problem I need to ask for help next tutorial class.

Week7-Independent Task-EXP1 SUBMISSION

Five Recreated Scenes(Draft&Final)





Terrain
Last character of my last name:I
Last number of my student ID:9

Strategy
The letter and number combination for my island is I and 9. I've used two strategies to reveal and conceal the letter/number combination. They're placement of objects and the shape of the terrain. First, based on my letter&number, I created my shape of island, this is for macro scale. Second, I've created rivers and cliffs to match the shape of selected letter&number. Then, I've also used the vegetation by different placement of letter or number. At same time, if I put the shadows on, change the time of day and direction of the sun, the shadows of vegetation either reveal my letter&number.
Five Scales of Letters and Numbers
(from macro to micro, scale1 is the smallest, scale5 is the largest)

Scale 1

Scale 2

Week5-Independent Tasks

The  terrain of  island is made of cliff, snow mountain, sand ground, rivers, waterfalls and rocks and with abundant vegetations. I'm also gonna create roads, caves and houses later on to make this island looks lively. However, this island is situated at far away from livable cities,  and therefore can hardly seen people here. The mixed and complex terrain, and fierce animals to make this island very dangerous.
