Start of my journey

Hello! Welcome to my blog. This is the place where all my school related updates will take place. I am a person that likes thinking around and about subjects a lot so this blog might be flooded pretty soon with various thoughts, analyzes, ideas, game concepts and other various game related subjects. This is where the journey starts and I am really thrilled and excited to continue down this path of game design and game development that I have just […]

3D I – Week 2

This week we modeled three variations of crates, where each was supposed to be inspired by a different theme. These themes were Sci-Fi, Cartoonish, Medieval, Post-Apocalyptic and Urban Contemporary. This was to illustrate how objects may have more or less radically different models to relate the theme.
The three themes that I chose were Medieval, Sci-Fi and Urban Contemporary.
Medieval
The first crate I did was supposed to be within the Medieval theme, and was therefore of a rather simplistic, yet […]

3D Week 2 – Creating Crates

Greetings!
So, as the title suggests This week of 3D class, we’ve been creating crates. Three crates to be exact. One theme for each crate.
#1 Sci-fi
The pure characteristics of science fiction is sterile surfaces and everything having a function, except for lights, lights are just put all over the place because it looks cool. Oh, and control panels! Everything needs control panels. Often this theme uses simple, geometric shapes with smooth textures.

This is concept art from the upcoming game Star Citizen. […]

3D Computer Graphics I: Week 2

This week we worked with different visual styles and tried to make our own props while following one of these styles. I have chosen to look at the Cartoon, Sci-Fi and Post-Apocalyptic styles.
Cartoon
Cartoon style games are mainly focusing on portraying a simplified caricatured version of reality. The visual style of cartoony games is dominated by basic, slightly irregular shapes and vibrant colors. These games are also for the most part high key which feels natural due to all the colors. […]

3D-1 Week 2: Assignment 1 – Modeling crates

Second week of 3D, we now advance to specific props; we were namely tasked with modeling 3 individual crates, because *every* game needs (and has) crates in them. However, not all crates look alike. Depending on the style and theme of the game, even such simple props can differ vastly!
The styles we had to choose from were:

Science Fiction
Urban Contemporary
Medieval
Post-apocalyptic
Cartoony

My normal go-to style would be Cartoony, but I felt like challenging myself and expand my horizons a little. So, the first […]

3D Week 2

Hello again, just wanted to do a quick update on what’s been going on lately in my 3D progress. This week is the second week since I started taking this course about 3D, for this week we made some crates. I chose to do a Sci-Fi crate with a clean borderlands look. It took about a five hours to make and was made quite hastily but I’m pretty happy with the results. I even did a fancy animation for it […]

First time blogging

Hello world!
I’m a student at Uppsala Univeristy Campus Gotland and I’m studying “Game Design and Graphics”.
I’m suppose to share my work and experience with the world so this is what I am doing.
I’ve never done this kind of thing before so bare with me on my first lousy steps into this blogging thing.
I want to make game better for everyone, a better kind of experience, that’s why I’m studying this. I think it’s going to be one heck of a […]

Making crates!

This week in 3D we’ve been making basic crates to get hang of making simple models. We were to make three crates, each one of a different theme which were: Sci fi, Urban contemporary, Post-apocalyptic, Medieval and Cartoony. I chose the themes, Sci-fi, Urban contemporary and Cartoony for my crates.
Cartoony crate
Elements:

Big shapes
Round
Unproportional

 
The cartoony theme is to me big shapes and bright colours, with unrealistic proportions. I made this crate with an adventure game in mind, much like The legend of […]

3D Graphics week 2

This weeks assignment was to create crates following 3 different themes. We were allowed to choose from: Medieval, Sci-Fi, Urban contemporary, Post apocalyptic or Cartoony.
The initial three I picked were:
1. Medieval 

This is how my first crate turned out! The idea I had when I decided to make a medieval crate was to make a crate entirely out of ”wood”, this is the reason for the plank-like structure on each of the 6 sides of the crate. When looking at […]
