Design Handbook

By Dennis Yu. 23/09/2024

When modelling, attention should be paid to the separation of movable parts for animation production. The polygon of a bicycle should be below 10000 faces. Please use the standardized PBR mathematical modelling process and export at least the following textures: Normal map, Base colour, and metallicity. The texture specification is 2K resolution. In addition to this requirement, please freely design the assets you are responsible for at your discretion. All 3D assets, please import Unity and adjust the materials to package as prefab. Remember, all models should export as FBX format.

DO NOT include unnecessary objects when you export .fbx file (e.g. Lighting, Camera).

When creating a model, name each part properly and attach materials to the parts separately.

Assets still need to work on

1. Road Module (Complete)

It is necessary to construct road modules with sufficient shapes for road laying, such as straight sections, intersections, and T-junctions. And different road conditions are required, such as paved and unpaved roads.

a) Appropriate and uniform size is required.

b) Assets need to be prefabricated into unit prefabs.

2. Bike and Custom Painting

1. Road bikes (Complete)
2. Mountain bikes (Complete)
3. Women's bikes (Complete)
4. Custom painting in the Garage Scene (Complete) (Due to the bike model update, all setting of bike color change needs to be adjusted in the Garage Scene)

Bike Parts Name

3. Map Resources

1. Vegetation (Need to Work on). Create temperate shrubs and trees. The Assets folder contains a Plants folder that includes plants commonly found around tropical desert areas.

Figure 1 Plants Assets

2. More types of building (Complete)
3. There are only two shapes of buildings placed in the city scene. These need to be replaced with different buildings from the building assets folder.
4. Special locations include mission locations, interest exploration points, buildings, and environments.
5. Teleport portal needs animation.
6. The map is designed for coastal towns in southeastern Australia, according to the different areas in the map, building modeling needs to consider the different distribution of buildings in different areas for differentiated differentiation.

4. UI

1. Remake a better customized bike interface. (In progress)
2. Remake a better HUD to display scores and other data.

Figure 4 In-game UI (City Scene)

3. Add mission description when selecting a mission in Mission Board. (Complete)

Figure 5 In-game UI (Garage Scene)

5. Garage

6. Animation

1. Update: Wheel rotation and handlebar steering during cycling. (Pending, find the updated PlayerController.cs script in the pull request #74, it is currently not supported with MQTT, Needs improvement.)
2. Update: The turning pivot of the bicycle should be on the front not middle of the bicycle. (Completed)
3. Add: animation between legs, crankarm and peddler.

7. Special effects

1. Add special effects of bicycles driving on different road surfaces (contains sound)
2. Add a ring bell function (sound).
3. Add bicycle chain sound.
4. Add sound effects when updating mission status.
5. Add a blur filter when speed is boosted.
6. Add visual and sound effects when passing through a teleporter.

8. Style and style reference

The overall style tends to be realistic, and attention should be paid to the adjustment of shaders and materials during production, especially the parameters or textures of metallicity.

Building The architectural style of the building complex can be made according to the common styles in Melbourne. It should be noted that due to the geographical factors set, there will not be tall buildings or skyscrapers, and it needs to comply with the geographical setting of the town. In the center (dark gray part), there should be some relatively large buildings, which should be in line with the actual design infrastructure buildings, such as fire stations, hospitals, schools, etc.

Building models should be packed and delete redundant building models. Although different building models are already in the asset s folder, we need to replace the current game building with them.

Urban design reference
!

When designing, attention should be paid to a certain mix of new and old buildings, but the overall style of the town should maintain a relatively old and rustic style. In residential areas, the scale of houses should be maintained at a moderate level and there should be no large-scale buildings.

Modern design can be carried out for facilities such as hospitals, schools, etc. Colorful designs can be enriched to make the town more vibrant.

Exist 3D Assets

1.Bicycle

File's location: (Assets\Models\Bicycles)

Notice: There are a few old versions of RoadBike model in the folder, just in case if new model has any bugs.

Old Bike Assets

Bicycles are used for NPCs that automatically ride on the road and also for the player. Currently, there are three types of bicycles.

1. Bicycle_1 (Currently used by NPC bike, poorly made, recommend change to WomenBikeV2 in the future.)

Figure 7 Bicycle_1

2. Bicycle_2: (Currently used by NPC bike, poorly made, recommend change to MountainBikeV2 in the future.)

Figure 8 Bicycle_2

3. RoadBikeV7: Currently used by player

Figure 9 RoadBikeV7

4. WomenBikeV3: (Completely remake bike model base on Bicycle_1, perform same functionality as RoadBikeV7)

5. MountainBikeV2: (Completely remake bike model base on Bicycle_2, perform same functionality as RoadBikeV7)
