3D I, Week 8, Part 1: Assignment 3 Update

This blog post is a late progress report on Assignment 3. In this post I will showcase pictures of the final mesh of my character model.

The final model ended up at 2855 tris, slightly below the 3000 polycount target.

The end of the first half-term

Glad sjö
Sorglig sjö
Solen skiner
Jorden brinner
Slut på haikun kommer nu.
Just a useless piece of haiku I made up on my way to the campus one day. It doesn’t even follow the established structure of a haiku rhyme.
Anyway, the first half-term is over now, and with it the two first courses, Introduction to Game Analysis and Design and the Swedish Communication Course.
The Swedish Communication Course ended with the fourth assignment,
* to give a speech on a freely chosen topic (in Swedish)
This last assignment […]

3D Course – Assignment 2 reflection (textures)

This is my reflection post about assignment 2 in the 3D Course. Like with the previous post about assignment 1, I will be talking about the texture work that I did.
Here’s the final model and textures, the first two sets of screenshots show how the model looked in 3dsMax (viewport view and then rendered) and the second set is how it looked in UDK:

I had a lot of photo references in different angles for this table, […]

3D Course – Assignment 1 reflection (textures)

This is a reflection post about Assignment 1, where I will talk about the textures that I did for the crate. I had to redo the texture once, since it wasn’t that clear what kind of wood it was made of the first time I handed it in, and I will show and talk about both versions.
This was the first texture that I did for the crate:

When I created this texture, I didn’t use any references, and just tried […]

Week 9: Completion of Space Shooter Project

This week we have finally completed the space shooter project. All in all, the week has been pretty uneventful. Most of the time has gone to working on the pitch, where we would show off our work and try to sell it to our classmates, as they are the ones who will decide which games to actually develop later on. Our pitch I felt was quite successful. Other than that, work went into the One Page and Concept Document. On […]
