Unit 73 ig1 assignment computer game audio cut sequence production 2013_y2halo4robo
This assignment brief outlines tasks for students to complete a sound design project for a cut sequence from the video game Grand Theft Auto 5. Students will record field recordings of ambient sounds, analyze existing game cut sequences, write and record an original script, edit the recordings with effects, and create sound assets and a final 2-minute cut sequence using audio software. The goal is for students to gain experience with industry standard sound design and production techniques for computer games.
Quantum Break is an upcoming third-person shooter video game to be released on the Xbox One. Developed by Remedy Entertainment and published by Microsoft Studios, the game will feature live-action video blended with gameplay. A Quantum Break television series is also in production, where how the player performs in the game will impact the show, and events in the show will influence gameplay.
Luca Foschini defended his Ph.D. thesis on developing approximation algorithms for problems on networks and data streams. His thesis covered partitioning algorithms for networks, shortest path algorithms, time series approximation algorithms, and burst detection algorithms for data streams. He showed that these approximation techniques can help solve computationally hard problems more efficiently.

This document contains summaries of various health tracking devices and apps presented at a Quantified Self conference on September 13, 2013. It describes devices that measure sleep tracking, heart rate, posture, stress, eye health, and more. It also mentions the Quantified Self Global Conference in October 2013 and seeks a Health 2.0 chapter co-head. Various references and resources are provided at the end about quantified self sensors, life logging, and the digital health revolution.
The document defines key technical terms related to digital images and computer graphics:
1. Pixels are the smallest controllable elements that make up a digital image on screen, and resolution refers to the total number of pixels that can be displayed horizontally and vertically.
2. Raster images are composed of pixels in a grid, while vector images use mathematical relationships between points and paths.
3. Common file formats include BMP, PNG, GIF, TIFF, JPG, PSD, PDF, EPS and AI, each suited to different types of images and uses.
4. Data compression reduces file size by identifying and removing statistical or unnecessary information from an image, which can be either lossless or loss
The original dancing baby animation was created in 1996 as part of 3D animation software samples. It was shared via email and became a viral internet phenomenon. Known as one of the earliest internet memes, the dancing baby gained global popularity in 1996 from email chains. It has since inspired many parodies and tribute sites and remained a symbol of early internet culture, though searches have declined since the 2000s.
Game designers are responsible for planning all elements of a game including its setting, rules, story, characters and gameplay. They define how the game will play. Level editors create interactive environments for segments of a game according to the overall design. Lead artists are responsible for the overall visual style of a game and managing the art team to create all visual assets. Programmers write the code to run and control the game.
Non-secretor status and blood group O may predispose individuals to candidiasis infections due to several factors:
1) Non-secretors do not secrete blood group antigens into bodily fluids like saliva and mucus, which provides protection against bacterial attachment and infection.
2) The lack of blood group antigens allows Candida species to more easily colonize mucosal surfaces.
3) Non-secretors have lower levels of antibodies like IgA and IgG that help fight Candida infections locally.
3D computer graphics employ the same principles as 2D vector artwork but with an additional axis. The basic objects used in 3D mesh modeling are vertices (points in 3D space) and edges (lines connecting two vertices). Polygons like triangles and quads are formed from edges and vertices and are the most common shapes used in polygonal modeling. A group of connected polygons sharing vertices is referred to as a mesh or wireframe model.
The document discusses data modeling and database characteristics, data centers, and data modeling. It provides information on:
1) Factors to consider when building a database including data content and cost, user access and data structure, and physical data organization and location.
2) What a data center is and its purpose of housing mission-critical database servers and systems in a climate-controlled building.
3) The two types of designs needed for building a database - logical design showing an abstract data structure and physical design optimizing performance and costs. It also discusses data models, enterprise data modeling using ER diagrams, and their purposes.
Pixel art is a form of digital art created using raster graphics software that was commonly used in early video games and is still used in mobile games today. As gaming advanced to 3D graphics, pixel art became less common but was still used in advertising. Concept art is a form of illustration used before final production in films, games, animation and comics to convey designs, ideas and mood. It is used in Star Wars to portray the world. Texture art adds detail to floors, walls and characters to make games look realistic, though textures take significant time to create and implement. Background graphics provide context and story beyond game levels to strengthen narrative. Print media art promotes games through packaging design tailored to audience and content age ratings.
