Third 3D assignment

We have now started our third assignment for our 3D course. We started by bringing concept art with turnarounds to class. There we made a backstory for it, believing we would make our own concepts. But no, our teacher then told us to trade with a colleague. This will have us not changing the concept when it’s there’s something hard we want to skip or make easier. Also we will both be a client and work for a client. So […]

The Viking longship mesh

3 days ago i turned in my Viking longship and have forgoten to blog about it so here it comes.
I’m “done” with the mesh, will probably have to change some things when i get my feedback but for the first turnin it’s done.

3D modeling a Viking Longship

I have been working on a viking long ship in my 3D class and are now getting to a point where there is mostly details left to do. I have been working to get the boats shape and then started to add the important parts. Every time I look at my reference pictures I always find something new about it. For one thing I thought the mast was in two parts, because in the schematic underneath you can see on the top part that […]

Board game analysis 2

This week I and my group played the board game Small world underground. Small world underground is a turn based, fantasy themed civilization game about conquest and controlling areas to get an income.

You choose between many fantasy races to play as with different stats and abilities.  You get one race and one special ability. You then use your troops to conquer regions on the map and at the end of the turn you get money for what you own. […]

3D Crates and stuff

 
This week in the 3D course, we worked with creating three crates in 3 different themes, we chose what themes we wanted to use from five given to us. They were 1) Sci-fi, 2) Urban contemporary, 3) Post-apocalyptic, 4) Medieval, 5) Cartoony.
 
For my first crate I made a milk crate in a Sci-fi theme
In this theme if you look at other games you see a lot of sharp and beveled edges, and hard surfaces.
Here’s a screenshot from Halo and star […]

A board game analysis

The class is split up in groups for when we do assignments and this is about when we play and analyze a board game. The assignment is to play a board game 3 times and analyze it. We do this to better understand how the game system works and how it is built and what components it is built with. This helps us understand the […]
