There are several common methods for constructing 3D polygon meshes, including box modeling, extrusion modeling, and primitive modeling. Box modeling uses subdivision and extrusion tools to split faces and edges or extrude existing faces. Extrusion modeling creates a 2D shape profile and extrudes it into 3D to follow an object's shape. Primitive modeling connects basic 3D shapes like cubes, pyramids, cylinders and spheres. Other specialized modeling techniques include sketch-based modeling for low-detail forms and 3D scanning of real-world objects.
1. A model's polygon count is often misleading because the triangle count used for rendering is typically higher. It is best to report a model's triangle count instead of polygon count.
2. While polygons are useful for modeling, games engines automatically convert polygons into triangles for rendering on graphics hardware that is optimized for triangles. This can result in different triangulations of the original polygons.
3. Rendering refers to the process of creating the final 2D image or animation from the 3D scene. Real-time rendering for games aims to display frames at rates of 20-120 frames per second for interactivity, while non-real time rendering of films can take much longer per frame.
The document contains 50 links to various images of armor, weapons, and costumes from different time periods and cultures including Templar knights, samurai, Roman soldiers, mages, and Persian warriors. The images show everything from full plate armor to robes and include references to films like 300 and games like World of Warcraft.
Thomas Giblin documented his process of manipulating different recorded sounds using various audio effects plugins. For each sound file, he would: 1) Select a previously recorded sound, 2) Add the sound and begin editing it using an effects plugin, 3) Adjust plugin settings to alter the sound's characteristics, 4) Note how the final effect-applied sound differed from the original. The sounds manipulated included a bar ping, vending machine fan, footsteps, and more.
Quantitative and qualitative research methods are used to define audiences in different ways. Quantitative research uses mathematical models and surveys to efficiently gather information about audience size, preferences, and opinions. Qualitative research provides a descriptive analysis of audiences through methods like focus groups to understand perspectives. Common uses of quantitative research include satisfaction studies, market research, and advertising assessments, while qualitative research helps uncover motivations and gather a range of ideas. Both approaches are useful depending on the type of insights needed.
This document discusses designing armor sets for a World of Warcraft expansion. It outlines trends in armor preferences for different character classes based on forum research. These include nature-themed armor for druids, battle-scarred armor for warriors, and elemental or arcane-themed armor for mages. It also notes that the target audience for armor designs is typically male players aged 16-30 and provides statistics on subscription and revenue numbers for the game and its developer Blizzard.
The document provides basic biographical information on four artists: Frank Miller, a comic book artist known for Batman and Sin City; Robert Rauschenberg, an American painter who worked in assemblage and anticipated pop art; Banksy, a pseudonymous graffiti artist and political activist known for realistic street art; and Roy Lichtenstein, a prominent American pop artist who worked with comic book-inspired imagery.

The Non-Speaking Attitude of Women Throughout HistoryAmanda Cross
The document discusses the historical treatment of women and their non-speaking attitude. It analyzes primary sources from Ancient China that taught women were inferior to men and should remain silent. Plato's work The Republic challenged these views by arguing that women's abilities are equal if given the same education as men. While women's roles have expanded since ancient times, discrimination still exists regarding career opportunities and income.
Destiny is an action-roleplaying, first-person shooter game set 700 years in the future in a post-apocalyptic world. The player takes on the role of a Guardian defending the last city of humanity against hostile alien races. Throughout key scenes in the game, there is a voiceover of a man telling a bedtime story to a child that relates to the narrative and sets a serious tone. Many of the sound effects like gunfire were likely created by recording the real sounds and editing them, while vehicle noises were made using fan or engine recordings combined with wind. The voiceover actor was probably recorded in a controlled studio environment speaking the scripted lines.
The document discusses the soundtrack for the video game Fifa 15. It describes three different soundtrack elements: the setting, mood, and game genre. For the setting of an intense free kick, the soundtrack builds tension with crowds cheering that get louder and more intense. The mood creates an intense atmosphere with fast-paced sounds that build pressure until a moment of silence right before the kick. As a sports simulation game, the soundtrack follows genre conventions with realistic crowd noise and grass sounds to immerse the player.
The document discusses sound elements in the video game Forza Horizon 2. It analyzes the sounds of a car engine revving in a farmer's field setting as the sun is setting. It states the car sounds were likely recorded using microphones around an actual car being revved. It describes the mood as relaxed but with a thrill from the car sounds. It notes racing games commonly feature realistic car sounds to simulate the experience. The narrative aims to become the top driver at a festival through open road races, with sound immersing the player in the surrounding environment.
Thomas Giblin has studied games design and has taken his knowledge to create a video game called "Abridged" to fill a gap in the market. Abridged is a puzzle/platform game where the player uses bridges to solve problems and progress through challenging compartments. The target audience is primarily males aged 12-30, though female gamers are also interested in these types of games. Unique selling points of Abridged include using bridges to solve environmental puzzles and throwing players in the deep end with limited instruction against many challenges.
This document provides an introduction and overview of the game "Abridged" which challenges the player to navigate through various compartments using puzzle-solving skills. The player must use a "Bridge Gun" which shoots orbs that can bounce and expand into bridges to cross gaps. The first few compartments introduce basic mechanics - walking over existing bridges, using a prism to open a door. Later compartments require using the gun to create bridges over gaps, then bouncing a second bridge to cross larger gaps. Precision is needed to solve puzzles and progress through increasingly difficult trials.
This document lists armor slots for different character classes in a game. Druids can equip items in head, shoulders, back, chest, robe, and legs slots. Warriors can equip head, shoulders, back, chest, robe, legs, and feet. Mages can equip chest, robe, legs, feet, head, and influence. Death knights can equip head, influence, shoulders, and chest, robe, legs, and feet.

1. Task 7- Contractual, Legal, Ethical Issues and Professional
Bodies
Contractual
Employment
The purpose of this agreement is to set forward the terms of your paid work -
what the business expects you to do for the business, and what the business
will do for you in come back. paid work contracts at game companies are
attractive much like employment contracts at any other sort of business. The
game commerce employment agreement is expected to include clauses about
advantages, confidentiality, about creations, and about not competing with the
business throughout or soon after the term of employment.
Development
Game publishers often charter game developers to conceive games for them. A
development affirmation is a affirmation that spells out the periods of the
development deal.
Terms - This part of the affirmation magic charms out how much the publisher
will pay the evolver, what timeframe the evolver has to evolve the game, and if
there will be royalties, what the royalty rate is.
Ownership - It's significant to clarify if the publisher owns the IP or the
developer owns it.
Warranties - The evolving business has to pledge that it won't use any person
else's source code and the announcing company has to pledge that it has the
right to ask developer to conceive this specific game.
License
When a publisher likes to make a game about a video or something, the
publisher and the video IP owner execute a contract spelling out the periods of
the license.
2. What's Being Licensed - The contract spells out precisely what the publisher is
getting the privileges to use.
What The permit Can Be utilised For - The contract probably specifies that the
publisher only has the right to make a game that works on the Xbox 360 and
the Playstation 3.
Territory - The agreement identifies what components of the world the
publisher's game will be released in. Publishers habitually want worldwide
rights, of course - but licensors often ascribe more for that.
Period - The agreement probably doesn't run forever. Most license agreements
run no more than 5 years.
NDA
Non-revelation affirmations, revelation affirmations, and Confidentiality
Agreements are attractive much the same thing. One party, in alignment to do
business with the other party, has to reveal (disclose) a secret of some kind (a
design to make a specific game, or a new expertise or method for making
games, or a enterprise deal that hasn't yet been publicly announced), and has
to notify this mystery to the other party. The other party agrees not to reveal
the data - to keep it secret - additional impairment will be the result to the first
party. In such an event, dire things will happen in a court of regulation to the
second party.
Collaboration
The overhead types of agreements cover the most common types of
agreement in the mainstream game industry. But a lot of people are
construction indie games or interest sport, and for those folks a very significant
need is an agreement that cover the all-important matters of ownership and
reimbursement in the creation of sport that exist out-of-doors of the
mainstream commerce. sport that might or might not ever generate any cash.
The majority of interest and indie tasks go wrong, and a huge component in
those flops is who owns what, who's presumed to do what, and who's going to
get what. A collaboration agreement sets forth in clear periods how the indie
or interest task is organised and controlled, who owns the IP, how the game is
3. proposed to be utilised, how any likely earnings is to be managed, and how
termination of the project is to be governed.
Legal
IP
Intellectual Property is a period mentioning to a number of distinct types of
creations of the brain for which a set of exclusive privileges are recognized—
and the corresponding fields of regulation. Under intellectual house regulation,
proprietors are allocated certain exclusive rights to a kind of intangible assets,
such as melodious, literary, and artistic works; discoveries and inventions; and
words, sayings, symbols, and concepts. widespread kinds of intellectual house
rights encompass copyrights, trademarks, patents, industrial design rights and
trade secrets in some jurisdictions. Although many of the lawful values ruling
intellectual house have developed over centuries, it was not until the 19th
years that the period thoughtful house started to be utilised, and not until the
late 20th years that it became commonplace in the most of the world.
Copyright
Copyright commonly protects the work conceived by, or began' with, their
scribe. There should have been some ability, work or judgment in the creation
of the work. The first proprietor will commonly be the scribe. In most cases,
the scribe is the person who conceived the work: the composer of the text or
the melodies, the artist, the person taking photos. Copyright is different to
other forms of IP. It is an self-acting right You cannot list with the thoughtful
Property agency, therefore there are no types to entire and no charges to pay.
one time conceived the copyright belongs to you. You would then need to
conceive a record of your work in order to prove the designated day of
creation and ownership. This can be finished by making a down payment a
dated copy with a trade association, bank or solicitor.
4. Trademark
Trade brands are badges of source. They differentiate the goods or services of
one trader from another and can take numerous types; for demonstration
words, slogans, logos, forms, hues and sounds. Trade Marks are listed for exact
items or services within one-by-one subjects, renowned as categories. It is
likely for others to register equal or alike marks as long as it is in a different,
unconnected class. For demonstration Swan rental vehicles, Swan corresponds
and Swan Electricals. There are 45 classes to chose from.
