Ultimate Duck Hunting Artwork

Since the website is up, I thought I'd post some of my artwork created for the game. Everything was created in Maya & Photoshop then exported into the Torque Engine. Currently we are 90% into our first Beta. YAY! With a demonstration at the IGDA meeting on September 28th.

Since the current build doesn't support real-time shadows, we have recently met with Nvidia to help us polish up the game with realistic water, plus they have an "in" with garagegames, so we may get better support.

This is the first time, I have been a lead artist for a game, Hehe. Juggling multiple art assets, keeping tags on artwork, what needs to be touched up, touching up others work, etc. All good experience

Comments are welcome

u mean, number of polys in the scene . nahh, its alot of faking the player with 2d textures in the background

Minotauro: thanks Only bad thing about the engine is that it doesn't support shadows, which I wanted really badly, would make the game look awesome!. but for $400 its very reasonable. I baked shadows on most of the artwork, but it didn't translate well into the engine

generalvivi: Mid Carolina Media is funding the project. There are 2 other artists and 2 programmers. So total 5 of us making the game.

FrieChamp: hehe, does Baden-Württemberg look anything like that?

RA7: some people did vote zombies . I voted for 3rd one . The game is a duck hunting game

JynxDaddy: I will when we get to 100% in the beta, promise

Kedhrin: is that a anti-bush voter

Captain P: Thanks . Single player is shooting the ducks upto 6 times and then retrieving them with the dog, which is controlled by the player.

Multiplayer is going to be 6 people against each other to catch the most ducks. There is some high points for colored hucks and hidden bonuses and points taken away for endangered species. Multiplayer will be great because if you shoot a bird, and any player sees it fall, its open game to everyone, so a battle to see who will get the bird first occurs

Zacker: hehe, i started as a environment artist and by the time the other artist quit and it was only me cranking out all the artwork until I got my friends onboard too, they gave me the lead position based on how much additional work I was doing. hehe

Been working on this run cycle all day, somethings not right.......anyone have any experience in animating 4 legged character. I have been watching some reference footage, but its hard to see the feet placement
