PENERAPAN PROCEDURAL NODE TEXTURING PADA MODEL 3D UNTUK GAME “BLUE WAIL” DENGAN TEKNIK MODULAR ASSET MODELLING

The development of 3D assets for video games requires methods capable of achieving both visual quality and production efficiency. This final project discusses the implementation of procedural node texturing and modular asset modelling in the creation of 3D assets for the game "Blue Wail," which centers on the theme of ocean health. The study followed a 3D asset production pipeline consisting of pre-production, production, and post-production stages. The pre-production stage included creative direction, concept art development, and blockout creation, followed by the production stage consisting of base mesh modelling, low-poly modelling, UV mapping, and procedural texturing using Blender. The post-production stage involved implementing the completed assets into the Unity game engine. Expert validation through an interview with a 3D art practitioner confirmed that the applied methods successfully produced 3D assets suitable for implementation within the game environment, although further refinement is still needed regarding vertex efficiency of modular assets and the silhouette proportions of organic characters.

Pengembangan aset tiga dimensi untuk gim membutuhkan metode yang mampu menghasilkan kualitas visual yang baik sekaligus mendukung efisiensi proses produksi. Karya seni ini membahas penerapan procedural node texturing dan modular asset modelling pada pembuatan aset tiga dimensi untuk gim "Blue Wail" yang mengangkat tema kesehatan laut (sea health). Metode pengkajian yang digunakan mengacu pada pipeline produksi aset 3D yang terdiri dari tahap pra-produksi, produksi, dan pasca-produksi. Tahap pra-produksi meliputi creative direction, concept art, dan block-out, dilanjutkan dengan tahap produksi berupa pembuatan base mesh, model low-poly, UV mapping, serta procedural texturing menggunakan perangkat lunak Blender. Tahap pasca-produksi mencakup implementasi aset ke dalam game engine Unity. Validasi ahli melalui wawancara dengan praktisi 3D art menguatkan bahwa metode yang diterapkan telah berhasil menghasilkan aset tiga dimensi yang sesuai dengan kebutuhan visual dan teknis gim "Blue Wail" serta layak diimplementasikan ke dalam game engine, meskipun masih terdapat catatan perbaikan pada efisiensi vertex aset modular dan proporsi siluet karakter organik.
