prepro for exploding barrel

For programming class we had to design a barrel. Let me take you through my design process.


Our barrel had do fit the theme of our level (mine is a sci-fi racing level ) so I looked at a bunch of futuristic concept art from The halo franchise and general asset production. Here are some of the more notable images of reference I found

My next step was to create a design that could explode since that was apart of the project criteria. I wanted my barrel to shoot gas out of the top when slightly damaged and then explode after a certain amount of time.

After that I began modeling the low poly version of my barrel.

During the next class we will learn how to make the barrel explode.
