Week 1 - 3D Art

 

3D Art Assignment - Pixel Art

8 Bit Mario Planet

            For our first assignment we were tasked to create a pixel art project. The professor showed us a pixel art of Mario created in the unreal engine, specifically the 8-bit sprite from the original Super Mario Brothers. Upon seeing it, I immediately knew what I wanted to do.

I was going to recreate a popular level from Super Mario Galaxy.

            It took about 6 hours, from watching the initial hour long vids, to gathering textures, to making the 3D models and scene myself. It's a touch late tonight to detail it step by step but to summarize: I went from barely knowing unreal, to emulating super mario galaxy, to setting up a scene and OBS'ing.

Here's the final product:

That's about it. I'd love to post more progress shots & go into full detail because this was super fun to do. But given the assignment is due in 10 minutes, I think it's best saved for a second post tomorrow (or just to explain in class if we have time lol).

That's all folks. GG.
