- 1. Unit 78 Digital graphicsfor computer games Task 2 – Artistic Styles Photorealism is a genre of painting based on using cameras and photographs to gather visual information which is then used to create an image which looks like it is it a photo taken from a camera. Here are some examples of photorealism Some popular game titles I have included are • Tomb Raider - The example I have shown shows determination and focus of the character • The last of us – This example shows emotion’s like the character is lost or something tragic has just happened. In games most developers show photo realistic graphics not just for a high quality gaming experience but also to show signs of the character to display feelings whether they are cheerful, upset, angry or focused. During my research I found this video which shows examples of real time rendering. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QF2c1uHiYyY In games to get the best effects and animation developers use real time rendering. Real time rendering is when everything feels like it is in live play it played instantly. The graphics in a 3d action game are rendered in real time by the computers video card.This means the graphics are restructured so fast that there is no visible interruption experienced by the user. Cel Shading
- 2. Unit 78 Digital graphicsfor computer games Task 2 – Artistic Styles Also called toon shading this is a type of non-photorealistic rendering and a lighting model designed to give the look that the computer graphic has been hand drawn. Cel- shading is mainly used to create the same look that is used in cartoon or comics. Cel shading in is often used in games such as dragon ball z, naruto & borderlands. Cel shading gives the effect that something that is made three dimensional is then rendered to look two dimensional like it was hand drawn in the same sense as a comic book. Abstract art uses its form and colour to create a structure which exists with an amount of independence from pictorial allusions in the world. This kind of art uses simple shapes such as squares and circles to create pieces of art such as characters and paintings like the kids TV show Phineas and ferb or work from noel fielding.

Unit 78 Digital graphicsfor computer games Task 2 – Artistic Styles Abstract art in games is normally used on the simple games like angry birds but can also be used in more developed games such as minecraft created by mojang and notch. One of the most simple yet popular abstract games that is out there is pacman simple game play avoid/collect/eliminate is the key role .This game is abstract because it uses very little effects and very simple shapes in actual fact the inspiration behind pacman was down to a pizza missing a slice. The original name for pacman was called pakuman this is because of the noise it made when it opens and closes its mouth. The concept of eating to get stronger was inspired by the tv show pop eye. As a result of all this it was then renamed to be called puck man because of its resemblance to a hockey puck. Abstract games do not in any way relate to real life objects, abstract games developers focus on using lines and geometric shapes to create something which is unique in its own way by only using

An example of this style would be minecraft the game where everything is made of simple geometric shapes mainly cubes. Here is an in game screen shot: The last kind I’m going to talk about is exaggerated games this is games that are far from simulated reality more along the lines of a young ninja god who has a gigantic 9 tailed fox living inside of him yes of course that was a reference to the popular anime title naruto. There are many other examples of over exaggerated games I can think of and a couple of them are • Soul eater – Popular anime where you have to fight and collect soles whilst your weapons are also living beings.
- 5. Unit 78 Digital graphicsfor computer games Task 2 – Artistic Styles • • Dragon ball Z – One of the most known fighting exaggerated games for many different reasons one of which is you can achieve god like powers and crush your enemies with balls of energy. • Halo 4 – This isn’t much of an exaggerated game but because of the objects and equipment that is used in this game as well as the gameplay and layout itself I choose this to be an exaggerated game. • Pokémon – Probably the most known unrealistic game but with reference to some humanity – Training a pet like creature to be stronger and wiser than it was when you first got it. This is more my genre than most of the other kind of games simply because I prefer they were meant to be which is games not a realistic play through of World War 2.
- 6. Unit 78 Digital graphicsfor computer games Task 2 – Artistic Styles Exaggerated games are games which have overstepped the boundaries of being even remotely realistic but even though they are not real the characters still display feelings and life. Exaggerated games use crazy abilities that are inhuman such as catching an animal like creature inside a ball which can be 100 times of it or saving the world from an alien who evolves and gains stronger abilities over 5 times. There are also games which can look very realistic but have very overexagerate but cleverly explainable abilities the best example I can think of is the recently released bioshock infinite which shows you firstly playing as a typical new Yorker who owes money to the wrong people but further into the game you gain powers by drinking from a bottle which is filled which is very scientifically clever elements Because it shows that if you were to lose those items you would just be an average human being. An easy way to explain this would be to say it would be like you were a super hero for a day not batman because he doesn’t have any real super powers more like superman with lasers coming from his eyes and the incredible hulk with big green hands that can break your face. One example of realistically exaggerated games is call of duty. This game immerses you into an open combat shooting playing field with guns used by official soldiers in the world. This game is exaggerated because it brings you closest to the real thing as possible the game makes you seem as if you are a soldier with a group of people defending your headquarters from enemy soldiers using it does this by allowing you to use and access official things used in the real life soldier duties such as the m16 a4 and the baret 50 calliber.It does all this making you seem as though you are in open conflict when realistically you are sat in the comfort of your own home. This game gets you closer to the community working together with real people to fulfil your objective whilst talking to them and layout out a plan of action. The graphics in call of duty are very realistic making it seem even more like the real thing an example of this is when your player is shot your soldier will begin to bleed and you have a blurred vision. Another example is when using a sniper rifle to focus your shot like a real marine you need to hold your breath and your shot will be still but only for a short amount of time before you get out of breath then the scope will not be as steady.
