This video is of two effects for the game Neon Night Riders. The first is a ground slam attack that is triggered when you press the jump button three times. It is composed of ten different particle emitters all working together in the emitter.

The second is an area of effect attack(AoE)

Current progress on my Needler model from the game "Halo". I plan on modeling out the shape and rough detail in Maya then Take it into ZBrush to sculpt the fine detail. After I will retopologize the model and bring it into Unreal Engine 4 to create a shader and particle effect.

A few animations in Unreal 4. Idle, Run, Jump start and fall, Hover, Back flip, Front flip, Hover board idle, hover board Forward, Hover board wall ride, and Horizontal Wall Run. These are for my teams game that focuses on movement and Parkour to traverse the city.

Above is a reel of current animations that have been imported into engine and currently in use. The second half of the video goes into X.25 speed. NNR is all about speed and movement. Keeping the players "flow" is the main focus of our team. Character movement and animations must be spot on. More are to come soon!

A screen shot in our current level for NNR. All props and building models are modeled by me except the barricade.

The way our city will be laid out is through blueprints and a tool a programmer made to randomly generate the city from a bitmap. Each blueprint is broken down into folders that hold a face or corner piece that the tool pulls from. These face and corner pieces will be decorated with the props to minimize time spent designing a level and leave more time for polishing the city.

Tag Effect Neon Night Riders

In our game Neon Night Riders you run though a city and "tag" building to be your teams color. This is the effect that will happen on the buildings when you tag them. It is all done though a material. Parameters control the color of the circuit board, how fast it fades in/out and the brightness of the glow which can be adjusted through Unreals blueprint system. As the Effect goes up the building it will change the color of neon objects such as signs and lights.
