a foolish 21-year-old woman
a cruel 40-year-old woman
the story begins on a farm
someone recieves an inheritance
it’s a story about freedom
your character takes control of the situation

Week 41: Character Background
This is turning out to be an interesting week. Not only are we supposed to construct a character with a fully realized background, but also do a report on a second character’s references and visual style provided by a fellow student.

Texture
So we have been working on the texturing of our crates. We were supposed to choose one of our crates and then do a diffuse, Specular and normal map. I chose to texture my post-apocalyptic crate. I really want to go for a broken down sense but still working. Like something that was built with scraps of other things. This was my concept on the actual modeling so I wanted the same feeling in the texture.
The first thing I thought […]

Optimizing the Crates
So for this blog post i will be talking about how i and a class mate Nils Wennergren optimized my crates that i had modeled in class. We were put in groups but because we were only three people in my group then I fixed two of my own crates and Nils fixed one. I optimized my sci-fi crate and my post-apocalyptic crate while Nils optimized my medieval crate.
I will start with the medieval crate that Nils Wennergren did.
So there […]
