Waterfall

This is a waterfall i learnt how to make from a YouTube video which also gave me the resources to make the water fall such as the textures and mesh. These things are replaceable which i am currently figuring out how i want to go about making them. For the mechanic for the movement i used a TextureCoordinate and made the Y equal -1  to move the texture downward. There were a series of constants that were used for various nodes, roughness, opacity, etc. This taught me alot of new techniques how ever the video never really explained why we used certain nodes and commands.

Scratches and Stains


Todays lesson with Owen we went over decals again and how to make a decal that tells a story, in other words ominous scary scratches and stains. How we did this is using Photoshop and the brush tool (1px size) and created some lines the exported as a PNG then imported into unreal. Using the material tool i went and made a deffered decal connecting the top too Base colour and the bottom to opacity to bring the decal to life.

website

In this lesson we retouched how to create a website using display:flex; as a lot of us including em didn't know how to structure a website using the method. I feel like the method we used today were completely different to what flexbox froggy and the zombie one demonstrated and feel like if we were taught this from the beginning it would of helped alot more, flexbox froggy did help in a lot of aspects specially to get me interested. This is the basic website layout that i started with adding colours instead of  images.

The code that was using was @media only screen and (min-width: 700px) {}, to make it responsive. this makes it so when the screen hits 700 what evers in the brakets mastarts to work so in this case display:flex. The process was tedious but once i got going i was able to create it.

This is what the website looks like before 700px, the images would all stack up in order and if it had images of wolves it would look good.
