Board Game Analysis – Game of Thrones

Introduction
My group chose to play and analyze Game of Thrones: The board Game. It is a resource based strategy game for three to six players. You play as one of the six available houses and the goal is to conquer seven castles or to have conquered the most amounts of castles after ten rounds. You do this by managing resources, moving your units to new zones or attacking your enemy player’s zones. The game is about risk and reward since […]

Sci-fi crate

When creating this crate I drew reference from the visual style of movies like Oblivion and the design of the cubes in the game, Portal. The references are mostly based on a general notion of these styles, I did not use any direct image reference.

The most important element in my view for this kind of sci-fi is clean and symmetrical shapes, which give a sterile impression. The atmosphere I am going for with that is that […]

Three themes, three crates (3d lesson 2)

Cartoon Chest
Cartoon styled games are usually directed to children and teenagers. The style usually has very simplified shapes and objects with happy colour schemes and often falls into the visual style Simplified Realistic and Stylized Abstract.  Objects in cartoony games are usually bigger than in real life and there is often a very prominent theme for what shapes and colours objects have.
Some games that I believe are typical cartoon games are Super Mario and the Crash Bandicoot series. They are […]

3D2 week two: crates

This week were supposed to create three crates with different themes. The themes we got to choose from were Sci-fi, Urban contemporary, Post-apocalyptic, Medieval and Cartoony.
I choose Medieval, Sci-fi and post-apocalyptic.
 
Theme A (Medieval)
When I look for references pictures for medieval I mostly look for religious pictures and objects. So for this assignment I mostly looked at Christian chests and other objects.
When looking at crates, trunks and boxes you will see alot of wood mixed with iron and other minerals. You […]

3D crates & playing around with themes!

Hello!
This week in the 3D-class we have been learning a lot more about 3D-modeling. Our task was to make crates with different themes. We had to choose three different themes out from sci-fi, urban contemporary, post-apocalyptic, medieval or cartoony and then create a crate-like object in that theme. I’d chose sci-fi, medieval and cartoony for my crates as they were the most different styles from each other and I wanted to try making as many different ones as possible! 😀

3D – Week 2

Another week has passed, and this past week we’ve been learning more about IP and Visual Style. Whilst learning about different styles we’re still learning more about 3D Studio Max, and this past week we’ve been creating crates. Three different kinds of crates, to be exact, based on different themes. Out of the five themes I chose Sci-fi, Cartoony and Urban contemporary.
Sci-fi Crate:
The Sci-fi theme is, for me, mostly defined by geometric and streamlined shapes with a man-made feeling to […]

First week of 3D1!

Hello again! I am back from summer and will now start up this blog again. Last week was the first week of our 3D1 course here at campus gotland.
Our first assignment was to discus and analyzes different screenshots from different games in groups of 4.
I am going to give a link to all the screen shots at the end so you can view them in its original size.
 
Screenshot one: Batman
 

 
This screenshot is geometric. Though a bit too much. If […]
