My First Game Jam ”Primal Need – A space odyssey”

My first game jam is a contest where first, second and third years students competes in groups of six to create a game in less than eight hours.
All games are based on the same theme, this years theme was Addiction X.
I managed to get into an awesome group of people. We were three first years students and three third year students. For the first hour we basically just talked about different game ideas and talking about different addictions. In the end […]

Impending Doom

Impending Doom Essay
Buried alive
For this assignment we are to create a game concept with the topic ”Impending Doom”. Impending Doom suggests that the player will be in a situation where it’s impossible to get their desired outcome; the player will instead be given a sense of false hope. I chose to create a game where the player is going to be buried alive.

Setting
At the start of the game there is a short cinematic where the player is shown to […]

Medieval Crate

Crate as seen in UDK (back and front)

I was working on the diffuse map last week but something was just not right with it, when I started to think of and work on the other maps I came to realise that the fault I had probably made was that I was trying to do the work of the normal and specular maps because I wanted it to look complete […]

3D1 Week 5, Assignment one hand in

So the diffuse map is the basic texture with all the color needed to make this “basket” wear the right colors. This is the first step and most basic texturing you need to do and will determine the outcome of the later maps. When you create a low poly count model you will still need to have some depth in your model, with the help of a normal map you can achieve that and it gives the illusion that it […]

My First Jam

Yesterday, I and my most of my class participated in a gaming event called “My First Jam”. Here both new and older students come together and in groups of 5-6 people develop a computer game based on the theme “addiction” with a game-development application called “GameMaker”. Me and my group (called “Gotland Wikings”) came with the idea of having a man being totally obsessed of milk. So we put him in the air, with a jetpack, and he must collect […]

Post Apocalyptic Crate, Final Version


I am finally done with my crate! It now has both a normal and specular texture, and of course the diffuse. The diffuse is just the basic texture, where you have the image that is wrapped around the model to make it look like whatever it is supposed to look like.
The normal map is the texture that actually adds texture to the object, the kind of texture you talk about when painting a wall. It creates the illusion of […]

3D week 05 – Final Crate

Hello!
This is the final post about my crate and my first assignment in 3D graphics 1.
A 3D model often consists of at least four parts. The mesh which is the actual 3D model, the diffuse map which is the texture that holds all the colours, the specular map which tells the secularity of  different parts of the object, and last the normal map which contains information making details look realistic and not like “stickers”.
A diffuse map is basically a 2D […]
