One of those days nothing happens
Today wasn’t very interesting in any regard, barley worth going through the fuss of making a blog post.
On the morning i started reading up on how sockets work using a tutorial linked on the programming skype group. (Can be found here: http://beej.us/guide/bgnet/output/html/multipage/syscalls.html) I felt unfocused during most of the day since all i did was reading and i didn’t manage to read the entire thing. Reading it during the evening again i am starting to feel like i […]

The Game Aesthetics
Strange to say, but the first time a really felt that I came in contact with the “aesthetics” of a game was when introduced to the MDA framework.
In short, MDA stands for Mechanics, Dynamics and Aesthetics.Mechanics could be the press of a button; Dynamics, what happens when the button is pressed. And the Aesthetics is the feedback of the dynamic (from using the mechanic).
(If you’re into game design, you’ve probably heard this a million time before)
But the thing about aesthetics […]

Visual Leak Detector – File and line number not available
When using Visual Leak Detector (vld) there are some problems you might encounter. The problem (I thought I had) was that it wouldn’t show what file and line number it found the memory leaks in. No matter how much I searched for this on google no one seemed to give me an answer that worked.
When the running was done the top line of the vld output said (inside the green rectangle): “0x0F37C260 (File and line number not available): MSVCR120D.dll!operator […]

Paladin Concept
I finished the paladin concept art that I have been wrking on while at DreamHack Winter. As usual there are still things that could be improved but I felt that I wanted to let it go and move on, it was where it needed to be.
For this concept I have been experimenting with the art style and brushes that I used, I have used a square brush for nearly every element of the picture […]

Catching up
I’m catching up with my work ever so slightly. Today i managed to get down to school during the morning despite my leg acting up and got some good job done during the day.
During the morning i went through the erase function of my binary search tree and fixed some of the cases who had the wrong instructions or had instructions which only worked on the high side of the tree.
In the afternoon we had a brief lecture in […]

3D – Assignment 3: Part 3!
Assignment 3 finished product!
This is how my model turned out:
Here are the textures that I used:
The specular map is very boring in this one. Almost all of my model is wearing cloth items, so there are almost zero reflective surfaces.

3D – Assignment 3: Part 2!
Hello there! This is just going to be a very quick update showing what I have done on assignment 3. So far I have only begun with the actual modeling process. I have not started texturing as of yet. My next update will include pictures of the finished product, including the textures. I have been working on creating Simon Strandh’s model, a Jawa from the Star Wars universe. You can read more about the character and it’s background here!

Week 48: Assignment 2 in Motion Capture
This came out later than originally planned, mainly due to an inconvenient accident involving my shoulder becoming dislocated. Anyway! This week has mainly focused on creating our own Motion Capture shoot, with me taking on the part of the actor. It has been an unusual experience to say the least, giving me new insights on such professions and difficulties with implementing them to fairly recent technology.
For this assignment we utilised Passive Optical Motion Capture to record the animation, where the […]

Bad weekend. Due to the unexpected death of a family member i was unable to get any work done as opposed to the things i had planned.

This is required as i am still not done with the first part of the assignment, although i’m getting closer by the […]
