The Benefactor
Oh well, look at this. I managed to find the way you upload images.
This is the character known as The Benefactor to me, from the first workshop. As the Art Director, a role picked for me on the behalf of being the only person in the group capable of drawing, I had to design the characters. Among else. This character stuck out for me, partly for playing mission control though the game we made up.
And, again, I leave you.

Well then…
I apologize for not updating this blog in a while.
I lost it. Using my amazing memory capabilities, I managed to lose my own blog. I am frankly amazed at my own abilities,
As for what has happened these weeks I’ve not updated? Nothing of importance that I can recall. We finished the Sissy Fight assignment, wrote a popular science article, got started on essays, and we have lived through two workshops.
The workshops were a great deal of fun.
I would show the […]

SiSSYFiGHT workshop
After playing SiSSYFiGHT 3000, students were given a 90 second brainstorming session to come up with a new setting for the game. These new settings had to capture the original’s aesthetics (MDA game design framework), which were identified as:
Fellowship: Negotiation, Cooperation, Betrayal
Challenge: Tactics, Problem Solving
Narrative: Drama
Students were then divided into groups and had two hours to chose […]

Assignment week 3 part 2
These are the objects I modeled, the second two where cleaned later on by my two colleagues Seamus Newman and Viktor Kjellson. I will start to talk about the optimization that Seamus and Viktor did with my crates and later move on to the boxes i made. The task here is to clean the model from overlapping faces, problems with N-gons and reducing the amount of tris we have on our models etc. First off, these are the ones I made, and […]

Babel registration automated!
A weekend well spent: I’ve written a plugin that eats CSV (= data directly from the sign-up page) and shits subscriptions- and author registration.
Ergo: from now on Babel registrations are largely automated. I still need to initiate the process manually (so: notify me when new students have signed up) but apart from the copy-paste from google docs everything else is handled by the plugin and – importantly – it handles them in bulk. 1 student or a 100 takes the […]

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
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 […]
