New Mod In Development - Fallout New Ronto

Been a long time since I made a blog and since the last one was about my Fallout and Skyrim mods, I figured it would be best to point people to my latest mod development project. One of which may be a bit too ambitious but some may find interesting to follow.

Its a worldspace mod for Fallout 4. Which means its a whole new location the player can travel to. The location of interest is Toronto, Ontario. Better known in this Fallout Universe as Ronto.

You can follow its progress here on its very own blog!

Mods for Fallout and Skyrim

As of recently I have started to roll out some mods for Fallout (3 and New Vegas) and Skyrim. I've been having a lot of fun with the Creation Kit as I get to really use all my experience in creating textures, 3d modeling and mild scripting.

Here is a list of the latest ones I have worked on:

Game Guru Assets

Over the past recent years I've been working on shaping models for use in Game Guru. Designed to work within Game Guru games seamlessly. Ever since the development of Game Guru I've taken a step back and started redoing some old models and designing some new ones with larger textures. Since Game Guru can support better graphics, I decided to really focus on each model and make them that much more detailed.

Modeling a Raptor

As FPSC Reloaded continues to evolve in its beta stages, I've been encouraged to consider starting some character models. Although I'm prioritizing my time towards static objects. Because I tend to always think nontraditional, I've decided to start work on a dinosaur rather than a human being model. In reference to the classic Jurassic Park styled raptors.

Here is a very early screenshot of the work in process. A smoothing tool has been applied though keeping the poly to a fair minimum.

I intend to have a movable lower jaw so it can be animated to bite and screech. Prior to working on this model I used an exisiting JP model and threw it into 3D Studio Max to apply some of my own custom animations to it. This was to get a feel of what could be done to a raptor model I intend to create myself. The below video is an example of some custom animations I did. It even worked when I brought it into FPSCx9 (FPSC Classic).

Mr. Sloth

I've been toying around with the idea for quite some time; A video game about a sloth. Not just any sloth but Mr. Sloth, a curious adventurous mammal with a desire to explore places he's never been before.


A completely vector based graphics game which would will in hopes stand out among other RPG styled top down games.

I will be creating various maps of different terrain with many different kinds of animals you may encounter and engage with.

Moon - Survial Horror Game

I've been quietly working in the background on an First Person Survival game taking place on our neighboring rock, the Moon. I figured it be an interesting concept and vastly different from the first person shooter type games we are used to, often set on Earth.

The basic premise for "Moon" is a team of astronauts are sent out to check on a colony of workers on the Moon that have lost transmission for over a couple months. You are one of the rescue teams sent out to access the issue, re-align the equipment to fix the communications and discover what has become of the lunar workers.

The Above screenshot is from FPSC-Classic, which I originally intended to create the game in. However since I got my hands on the BETA of FPSC-Reloaded I was able to play around with the new terrain editor it comes with. I was able to use the same textures as before that I had created and the same skybox (space with earth in distance). Here is a quick video of me throwing together a test to see how well the new engine will be able to help create a better lunar experience.

3D Modeling Journey

Upon completing an intro coarse at to 3D Design at George Brown College, I set out to rapidly learn how to model in 3D Studio Max, texture the models, animate and even make them game ready with scripts and shaders. The following will be a series of videos in timeline to show how quickly I have developed my knowledge of 3D Modeling.


In this video we have a model that I've textured in wood, motioning with the Bone tool.

In this video you will see my first attempt at using 3D Studio Max's character studio tool with footsteps. Additionally I attempt to create weight distribution with each step. However... i think this attempt was a fail and the character just looks a wee bit drunk.

In the following video you will see my attempt at applying an image to my 3d Model and animating it. For reference the image is of Button-Face from the movie Nightbreed.
