Bongo the Clown Rat has finally arrived! He’s a bit late, but it’s not his fault — his legs are short and made for waddling, not sprinting. In all seriousness, I’ve been having a very difficult time with the player controls; the default 3rd person controller hasn’t been playing nicely with my quadruped character, so…

Character Texturing: Kerri Thornton
The clown rat — named Bongo by one of my classmates in 3d modeling 2 — is now complete! Almost. I still need to bring him into substance painter and adjust the materials he and his costume are made of, so they’re more fur- and fabric-like, and not so much smooth plastic. But besides that,…
Character Modeling 1st Pass: Kerri Thornton
Introducing… *balloon rat* Just kidding, he’s a clown rat. But he reminds me of a balloon animal at this stage. Or the Michelin man… Obviously still have a lot of smoothing and sculpting to do, but for now I’m enjoying this wonky little guy.
“Finished” Environment: Kerri Thornton
Here’s what I have so far for my rat circus š Still do to: Adjust a few of the UVs because they’re unhappy with me. Adjust all the colors to match better (especially the concrete/stone). Make little clutter items — will be chipping away at these soon. Draw posters for wall and art for rat…
Modular Building Kit Modeling: Kerri Thornton
Here’s where I’m at so far. I have not yet UV mapped them, and I still need to bevel some of the existing edges. Also, I hid the walls for now just so it’s easier to see everything, but they will be there later on — the walls line up with the outer edge of…
Modular Building Kit Concept: Kerri Thornton
I don’t have a ton of assets that will be repeated more than 2 times, so most of these are “duplicate and then move on to the next set and do as much as possible” — especially with the (hopefully) many small, found objects. I’ve ordered them by priority with the assumption that I’m not…
Level Design: Kerri Thornton
Here’s the basic layout of what the circus tent will contain. I made it a considerably smaller than a normal circus tent, because everything is already going to feel huge compared to the size of the player, (a rat) and I’m thinking that if I do it to scale, players won’t be able to see…
Game Concept: Kerri Thornton
Game Concept Proposal: In this game, you will play as a rat who performs as a clown at the circus, set in the first half of the 20th century. Think P.T. Barnum, but without the human rights violations or animal abuse and other atrocities. So not him at all, but someone *like* him in an…
Introductions: Kerri Thornton
[If you were also in Interactive Electronic Arts in A term, you’ll probably recognize a lot of the text here… Many parts are the same, the main difference being that it just got *longer* because I have an inability to be concise.] Hi! My name is Kerri, and Iām from Virginia ā kind of. I…
