3D model review

In my design i have made some of my 3D model the tools i have used are smooth, move, combine, separate, polygon cylinder and duplicate

with all of these tools i have created almost all of my 3D model to the best of my ability, the hardest part of making the model was trying to get it to fit around the image of the person, once i have the shape of the person i am happy with i then smooth it out then re-shape it so it fits around the outline, i will move it into line if it is off slightly.

Once i am happy with what i have made i will then combine all the pieces together to see what it looks like but if something seems off i will separate them and fix the pieces i don't like then once done i will combine the piece's back together and finish it off

Understand theory and applications of 3D

What are 3D models used for?

1. 3D Models In Games: 3D models are used in almost everything that we use for example you could a 3D model for a game that you have been working on for a while and you want to try something new so you try and make your own 3D model with moving animation and life like skin you then try and give him commands to make him move around, trying to pick stuff up, interact with other 3D models.
2. 3D Models In Animation: 3D models are also used in Animation such as movies like Flushed away where they used 3D models to make all the Rats, Toads, Slugs and Boats. They have used 3D modelling in Snoopy and Charlie Brown: The Peanuts Movie, The Croods,  The Lego Movie, The Adventures Of TinTin, Wreck It Ralph and Big Hero Six, They use 3D modelling in all these movies.
3. 3D Architectural Walk-Through: 3D design has been used in Architectural Walk-Through which is a progress that lets house plans, hotel plans, skyscraper plans, boat plans, car plans, air plane plans and motorbike plans come into a 3D aspect that shows you more detail in the 3D form then the 2D, in the 3D aspect you can see the design from different points of view allowing to get as much information from the plan as possible
4. 3D Web: There is a website that allows you to create 3D models, earth, moon, sea, spaceships even the whole solar system if you wanted too, you could even make a black hole with a super nova going off in the back round with asteroids coming towards you or the planet to show what would happen to it if the asteroid collided with the earth or the moon, you could also use the 3D model of the earth to show people where they live or show the weather in a certain place of the world, or better yet you could make a full 3D replica of the solar system with all the details such as asteroids, comets, black holes, super novas and even all the stars too.

Displaying 3D polygon Animation

Application Programming Interface: API is a  set of functions and rules  that a computer uses to communicate with each other to do a certain job, just like how a player communicates to a game or an NPC by pressing a certain button to do a particular action. an example is twitter, API is used in twitter to receive an updates on your tweets.

Most PCs provide API so that the programmers can write applications and that it is good since this makes it easier for users to learn new programs with a similar interface.

Direct3D: Direct 3D is only available on windows 95 and up, Direct 3D renders 3D graphics especially in gaming as it uses the graphics card. It all started in 1992 with servan keondjian who started a company called renderMorphics and they developed a 3D graphics application programming interface (API for short), it was used in medical imaging and CAD (computer aided design) software. Two version of this API were released. And in February 1995 Microsoft bought RenderMorphics. When Direct3D was used to render they used a thing called a buffer to render 3D geometry but the progress was awkward and had complex stages that you had to do manually and so Open GL was made to make it simpler.

Rendering: Rendering is a way to display many 3D objects, lighting and textures together, to create an image or animation from the data sent by the 3D modelling program. There are 4 types of renders:

1. Rasterize
2. Raycasting
3. Raytracing
4. Radiosity

Geometric Theory: in game development using geometric theory is a way to model out objects and characters within the game, doing this is through a design process using the initial mesh which gives the basic shape of the object later so you can build it later with different textures, the way you make this mesh is through the process of combined polygons, polygons are two dimensional shapes that have 3 key features which are edge, face and vertices, when a polygon is created two vertices are put together by a line which makes the first edge, when another vertice is added two more line edges are made, that is the simplest way to create a triangle, this is also the simplest version of a polygon that is made, this can be modified to create something called a quad which is by adding another vertice, you can keep adding more and more to make shapes like hexagons and decagons.

Game Questionnaire

I have recently done a game questionnaire, it asked me questions to decide which category of gamer i am in and the category of gamer that i am in is 

• Action-Oriented
• Proficient
• Driven
• Gregarious
• Deeply Immersed
• Creative

I completely agree with this because i am a very casual/professional player because i love game play and story i dont really care about multiplayer unless its Jolly Co-operation through the story, i spend a lot of time farming and grinding for the best gear and materials to upgrade that gear, i always try and find the best weapon to try and kill the bosses fast so i dont take too long like dark souls and bloodborne i grind and farm for materials and EXP so i can upgrade everything i have and deal the most damage, i like to Jolly Co-op with my friends on all the games i have and i will play with my friends until i have completed the story and/or go on new game+ so we can have more of a challenge and that means that we are able to do more and have way more fun with harder bosses. I spend way too much time on my Xbox One i spend usually over 15 hours on it everyday i would say i am a pretty common player i love to play games but i dont care for multiplayer unless its on Metal Gear Solid or dark souls/bloodborne, i love to play Metal Gear Solid because its a stealth game and portal 1/2 because its a puzzle game i also love to play dragon age/ dragon ball/ neverwinter/destiny because they are RPGs and MMORPGs.

Unit 73 sound for computer games

Task one: My game is a space invaders remake instead of aliens trying to destroy you it's called Trigun invaders this time you get bandits and thief's trying to kill you the end game i am hoping for is for you to take out the 13 Gung-Ho-Guns.

• Monev the Gale
• Dominique the Cyclops
• E.G. Mine
• Rai-Dei the Blade

• Chapel
• Elendira the Crimsonnail
• Livio the Double Fang
• Razlo the Tri-punisher of Death

Razlo and Livio are the same person only they have a different transformation one you defeat Livio he will then go off screen and come back on screen as Razlo.

the sounds i would like to make is the sound of an M60 light machine gun for my main character wolfwood and a sound of a .45 magnum for my second character vash the stampede so that i can get the sounds of their guns correct.

work sound:
To get the walking sound for my enemies i had Thomas estill and jack walk to help me record the sound of the footsteps on a wooden
floor to make it sound good then we went outside to some gravel to make the sound of the gravel sound and we had some wind interference but that we put in there because it sounded good when we tuned it a bit so it went with the footsteps now i have uploaded it to my game and it fits in with the footsteps really well. to edit my sound i used cut, time shift tool, undo, redo, delete, copy, paste, import, export

evaluation:
am i pleased with the work i have made - yes i am please with the sound and work that i have created and made and i think that i might of been able to make something a little better but i am happy with what i made.
could i make it better - yeah i could make it better but couldn't everyone make something better, but yes i believe i could of made something much better if i had more time to concentrate and payed attention and got my work done in time.

Social, Ethical and Legal Issues in DOOM and Resident Evil 5

Social, legal and Ethical issues in Doom.

Columbine High School Shooting: At the columbine high school in 1999 on April the 20th  two teenagers went on a shooting spree killing 13 people and wounding more then 20 people after that they turned the guns on themselves and committing suicide, it was known as the worst high school massacre in U.S. history, they made the crime into a prompted debate on gun control and school safety, they also placed a massive investigation to figure out what motivated the two teenagers too go on a shooting spree the two teenagers were identified as Eric Harris aged 18 and Dylan Klebold aged 17, according to the report the had committed the killing spree because they were subjected to bullying, they were part of an outside group that was mainly looked apon by goth culture, or maybe it was violet video games that made them do it but none of it was really proven.

At the time of 11:19 A.M. Eric and Dylan were dressed in trench coats and began shooting students outside of the school, they then moved inside the school where they then began shooting students inside at the time of 11:35 A.M. they had already killed 12 students, 1 teacher and wounded more then 20 people after 12:00 P.M. they turned the guns on themselves and committed suicide.

the investigators later found out that the two teenagers had arrived in two different cars around 11 A.M. the morning of the massacre, the two then proceeded inside the school and went to the cafeteria, they placed two separate duffel bags containing a 20-pound propane bomb that was meant to explode at 11:17 A.M. the two then went back outside to their cars too wait for the explosion, when it failed to detonate the two then began their shooting spree.

Many people believe that the two teens did this because of playing Doom and many other violent games but no one knows why they actually did it but one of the teens had a journals left by the boys and they found out that they were planning to bomb their school for a year similar to the 1995 Oklahoma city bombings. but investigators still don't know the true true reason behind why the two teens did what they did.

Social, legal and Ethical issues in Resident Evil 5.

Problems with resident evil 5: in resident evil 5 there was a small problem with the zombies you were killing in the new release of the game, the game is set in Africa the zombies you are shooting/fighting but there was a slight problem with the game because a lot of  journalists and commentators raised concern that Resident Evil 5 is saying that Africans are a load of savages and the game is making quite a few stereotypes, when it was released a lot of people weren't happy about what they got. in the game all you were shooting at were all black people now you can see the wrong part of the picture here and a lot of people noticed causing a bunch of complaints and after those complaints got through to the company they had to fix it putting in more zombies but this time they made them mixed colors in with the others so it didn't look that bad,

In one of the scenes from the game you can see a white women running out of a house screaming for help as a infected black man comes out the house and drags the women inside with him, this isn't a good sign because this if taken into the wrong way is making it look like that the women is afraid of him causing a bit of a racial stereotype they had to change that into a slightly lighter character so that it didn't look that bad when the game was re-released in march again.
