Interior Transformation of a Space Station
My thesis project is the process of transforming the interior of a space station from a living room to a laboratory . I have mastered three skills concepts , mechanical animation , and dynamic materials . My animation shows the transition between the living room and the laboratory inside the spaceship . There are also animations of laboratory equipment and machinery . In the laboratory , I explored the use of dynamic materials in games . I used object experiments such as freezing dry ice , the holographic projection of the planet on the control panel becoming an energy ball , and the signal tower emitting a signal .
The goal of this thesis was to expand my knowledge of dynamic materials , mechanical animation , and concepts .
During the development process , I learned about the process of game development from concept art to Unreal Engine 4 scenes . I chose mechanical animation as one of my masteries because I wanted to learn how to animate a machine reasonably . I chose dynamic materials as one of my specialties because I wanted to explore how to make dynamic materials in UE4 and how to apply this skill proficiently in game scenes .
The reason I chose this thesis focus is that I have enjoyed sci-fi movies and games since I was a child , and I wanted to do a conversion between the living room and the laboratory to demonstrate my abilities in creating game scenes .
