3D Crates and stuff
This week in the 3D course, we worked with creating three crates in 3 different themes, we chose what themes we wanted to use from five given to us. They were 1) Sci-fi, 2) Urban contemporary, 3) Post-apocalyptic, 4) Medieval, 5) Cartoony.
For my first crate I made a milk crate in a Sci-fi theme
In this theme if you look at other games you see a lot of sharp and beveled edges, and hard surfaces.
Here’s a screenshot from Halo and star […]

Week 37: Visual Styles in Games and Creating Simple 3D Game Assets
This week we’ve been through the menus and tools in 3DS Max to a greater extent, to then apply what we’ve learned onto various objects that we make. Namely crates. Having several themes to choose from, I made an attempt to create objects from an Urban, Cartoon and Sci-Fi setting. Not just because they were the easiest to distinguish between, but also because they would enable me to experiment a lot more with shapes in very distinct ways.
Urban
Characteristics:
Cheap
Lack of […]

Crates of the Third Dimension
For our lates 3D assignment we’ve been tasked with modelling crates with different themes.
Post-Apocalyptic “Crate”
What I find typical for the post-apocalyptic theme is the worn, torn, and overused look. Since there would be no manufacturing of new items, many objects a player would come across would be worn from being used many times before. And of course, everything would suffer from the elements, so steel and iron would be rusted from rain, painted objects would be bleached from sun.
Fallout […]

Board Game Analysis: Battlestar Galactica the Board Game
Like worrying about the past and the receding hairlines of today, the time to get back to blogging is long overdue.
In this wholesome and decidedly un-spoilerly blog post we’ll be having the pleasure of analysing Battlestar Galactica: the Board Game. What joy!
The best of the beast:
As a starter, one must say, without any doubt whatsoever that the build-up is the best part of BSGtBG. The journey, rather than the destination, is the most sublime, entertaining and thought-provoking part of this […]
