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!

Character Construction & Turnaround

Last weeks assignments were to pick one of our previously made character thumbnails, and continue building onto the one we chose. To do so, we were to draw our chosen character from loose pose sketch to clear lines, and an orthogonal turnaround as well. For extra credit we could also provide a close-up of the head.

Loose sketch –> roughed out details –> first clean-up

Orthogonal turnaround, with a detail of the sides of the shoes facing inwards

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 […]

Third Week of Programming: Back from vacation and Tic Tac Toe

Since I last week wrote about most of the assignments for this week, I’ll talk about one assignment which took more time than the others. Making a game of Tic Tac Toe.

Tic Tac Toe is played on a 3×3 grid in which one player is represented by across and the other player is represented by a circle. The players take turns putting their symbol into the grid and if three of the same symbol align vertically, […]

Game programming: Week two & three

Week two started off with an introduction to Arrays, Memory and Functions.
At the end of the second week our lecturer guided the class in building a basic version of the game Pong during Thursday and Friday using SDL  (Simple Direct-Media Layer). There were a lot of flaws in the game that could be improved for example the movement of the ball and the collision with the paddles, although all the basic elements of the game were there.

Playing with ostracism

I’m taking a course in advanced game design right now in which we’re doing a lot of rapid prototyping. Our first assignment was to create a prototype around the theme “Every finger in the room is pointing at me”. Together with two of my classmates, we tried to make a system that would convey a feeling of ostracism through movement. This is what we ended up with:

We then spruced it up and changed the visuals to show a bunch of […]
