Optimizing Crates

In this post, I’ll go through the optimization done by my group members, on the crates I modeled some time ago.
Post Apocalyptic Crate
Before
After: Improved edge flow, n-gons removed.
Andreas Calmius was tasked with optimizing one of my crates. He pointed out that the by far worst problem with the crate, was that I had decided to make it half open. one half of the lid was attached to the crate, while the other revealed an opening into the crate, […]

Advanced Assignment – 3D-I Week 3; Pre-production

Alright, so as an effect of having previous knowledge in 3d, me and a few others got a more challenging assignment. For this, we were given the choice to make one out of four vastly different vehicles.

A starship


A viking longboat


A Mech


A steam powered car

Now, all of these are very interesting and all have their own virtues. However, The Bull is the one that got my attention the most; it’s got an interesting style, it’s got mechanical […]

3D Computer Graphics: Theory and Application I, Post 3

This is my third post relating to course 5SD045, it details the results of a field visit to Gotland Museum during 2014-09-16 and of a practical assignment to optimize topology given to us during the lecture of 2014-09-17, constituting the third week of the course.
The visit to the museum was part of the second course turn-in, during which we will model and implement a game-ready 3d asset, modeled after a real-life object. The objective of the visit was to present […]

Ernest Adams Game seminar

This last Thursday we had a seminar with the writer Ernest Adams and he was there to talk about gamedesign and how to do that properly. After the seminar we was divided into groups of five and put on an assignment to make up a game and show some concept art for that game until the next day. Each group was given a certain subject and my group got the dream: I want to drive bulldozers and steamshovels. And the […]

3D I – Crate Optimization

Urban Contemporary Crate – Optimized by Jonna Jarlson
The problems that this crate had was mainly that it still consisted of separate objects and that it wasn’t centered on the 0.0.0 coordinates.
This was rather easily fixed by Attaching the objects together, and simply specifying the coordinates of the object to 0.0.0.
While going through the xView filters Jonna also discovered a lot of overlapping surfaces. This was because the object is several forms combined into one, causing the inside faces of the […]

Impending Doom

This is an essay that I wrote for my game design course. It is just copied from the document that I handed in and i felt like posting it here for easy access.
Introduction
This essay is about the design of an impending doom game where the player will lose in the end but has to feel like they could have made it. I choose to make a game about surviving alone in space with the only thing to do is controlling […]

3D Week 3

This weeks post will be coming in 2 parts, first a part where I write about the optimization of the crates and later a part about the upcoming task where I will show pictures of an object that I’m going to model in the near future.
Part 1: Optimizing the crates
Post apocalyptic crate
 
This is the crate that was optimized by Folland Rickard. To the left we have the original model and to the right we have the optimized one.
