3D Assignment week 3 lego project


3rd Assignment!!!! Team work!!!
I am so glad I have Kay and Chelsea in our team!!!!
 

We are going to create an awesome Lego level together in UE4.  This is final shot of our level.  We made a tiny-houses neighborhood.






Everyone in the class is going to build one piece of Lego block.




I made this z-shape one in Maya.



Imported in UE4
 

The whole class as a team, we created a Lego library.


 

One of the requirement is to use pieces build by other members in my group.
Here is my tiny house on wheel.

 


After we finished our individual houses, we combined them together. Since we planed ahead and we kept same content folder structure, our combining process was really smooth.






Kay did an awesome job for lighting.







Time spend: 5hour
