About Me
- Michael Filipek
- I am currently a student at the Ringling College of Art and Design, and a Junior in their Game Art program. I work hard to one day achieve my dream of working in the game industry!
Lots of work these past few weeks. I submitted a couple of projects, and now am starting new ones! Perspective class is probably the most fun for me, since we are learning tons. Also, the rules of perspective are pretty rigid, and apply to pretty much everything you draw, so it's easy to implement. Figure drawing is good, but is way more abstract. Our teacher tells us what looks wrong or what needs fixing, but not how. I guess I'll just have to keep drawing, and to read more books on figure.
I've also recently gotten my hands on Unreal Engine 4! Turns out Epic has made it free to all students via github, making it much easier to obtain a copy. Therefore, I've been looking at it a little bit. I've also been rigging a character in Maya in order to use in UE4 for a small platformer game I'd like to make. So far it's been fairly painful, but hopefully when I'm through next time will be a breeze.
I've got a couple of fun ideas for games, but there's no way I'm going to make them as successful as I imagine with my current level of understanding. Let's hope that changes soon!
