Board Game Analysis: Betrayal at House on the Hill

The assignment continues! Like last time, we were tasked to play and analyse a board game. This week, we decided to play the game Betrayal at House on the Hill. It is a turn-based game for between 3 and 6 people, and can be summarized as “explore a haunted house together, until one of you becomes a traitor, than defeat the traitor”.

Texturing

This week we have been working on creating UV and diffuse maps in the 3D course. The theme I chose for the crate that I have been texturing was medieval; I decided to keep the style realistic and took inspiration from games such as Skyrim. I wanted the crate to look as if it was something that had been used for a while, not being brand new. Even though I wanted it to look somewhat old I still wanted […]

3D Computer Graphics I: Week 4

This week has been devoted to the basics of creating a texture for our models. Also, for the theory lesson we got a recap of color theory to refresh and deepen our understanding of color and light. Here I will show my chosen model with its diffuse map and explain how I’ve chosen its look, in terms of visual style and color theory.
I decided to go further with my cartoon style crate for two reasons. First reason is that I […]

3D Week 4 – A Chest of Gold

Greetings!
This week I’ve been working on the diffuse texture for the medieval chest model. Diffuse texture being the colors of the object.
I went with a realistic sort of style. A chest that is in a wealthy person’s possession during the middle ages. Perhaps more beautiful than practical.
I used a simple color scheme that has a lot of red in it just because of red being a very rare and expensive color during those times. The colors are rather saturated in […]

3D Week 04 – Texturing

Hello. It’s time for an update on my sci-fi crate, so here we go!
The inspiration for my crate is all from the Halo and Portal games. Well for shape and model I was looking more at the Portal’s “companion cube” as I hope you can tell from the rough and hard edges I have in my crate. When it comes to texture mostly of what I aimed for is from Halo I would say, as the crate I am trying […]

3D I – Textured Crate

This week we were supposed to take one of the themed crates we created a couple of weeks ago and apply diffuse maps on it.
When I created the model I was going for the Contemporary Urban theme, so after a bit of pondering I decided on making something along the lines of a fruit- or farmers crate, focusing more on the basic function of the crate rather than something lavish.

The crate with an applied UV-Checker.

As for the […]

Portobello Market

This week my group played the game Portobello Market. The goal of the game is to achieve and maintain the highest score when the game ends.
In order to get score you get to place down market stands along the roads that goes between the eleven squares. Next to the road where you place down your markets there are numbers indicated how much score you will receive when the road has been completed.

Just having the road filled with market stands alone […]
