The Third Dimension
After a summer lost in the uncharted wilds of Nyköping, I have finally returned to school to start studying again. This time, I will venture into the third dimension, learning to work in 3ds Max.
Our first assignment using the software was to make a mock-up environment that could fit into a game of our choice (we picked ‘Journey’). We would then chose a key word (in our case ‘solitude’) from a list, and try to somehow use that word to […]

First week of 3D, Analysis
A picture analysis with the help of some “elements of art”
Evil within Line: Most of the lines are vertical by looking at the trees, this gives us a feeling of inferiority. For example if we have to look up towards something or someone we feel small, things that are above us tend to feel more powerful. This can be seen through pictures taken of a person from a down-top perspective. We can also see that the tree branches […]

New semester = 3D-modeling and other cool stuff
The summer is over and the second year has just started. This semester I will start learning 3D and I’m so freaking excited!
This first week we’ve been analysing screenshots with focus on the elements of art, such as Line, Shapes, Space, Value, Colour and Texture. I must tell I haven’t played any of these games, which gives me a fresh look at these pictures.
The first screenshot is from Batman.
Line: the camera is tilted and the lines are diagonally, which […]

Homework; Image analysis and 3Ds max assignment
Batman
Lines: There are several diagonal lines going through the image, and this creates the overall impression of movement and action.
Shapes: the shapes give off an impression of being man-made, in that they are mostly controlled and square. The shapes of batman are a mash of nature meets technology in boxy versus curved shapes.
Space: Batman is the positive space in the image, his silhouette makes out the foreground. The spaceship is the neutral ground. The flying bats help to indicate […]

Week 1.
Monday 01/09 I was formally accepted as a student to uppsala university campus gotland.
It’s been incredibly educational only in the first week, which has consisted of the creation of dungeons and dragons characters, and the analysis of systems. The DnD character generation system is, to a beginner, complex but offers a wide range of adaption to outside input. One character might be useful for one situation, and another one completely useless. It all depends on the numbers that the system […]
