Visualization Project

For this project, i wanted to create a community within the shape of a guitar. I added a factory, houses, two roads (which looks like strings), and a dock.

Pegged v2.0

For Bradley's class, we had to create an original board game. Upon trial and error, I have come out with a game which I found to work well and keep the attention of the players fully. It is a 2 player game called 'Pegged v2.0', the Aim is to conquer the opponents base with 3 of your pegs. There are different ways to go about that mission, you could either go for chance cards, which may or may not work in your favor, or you could head straight for your opponents base. Play to decide your strategy!

my website

well after loads of hard work put into 3d max and flash, i managed to scrape out a website that i made from scratch! :D
unfortunately there are a few bugs, but i will fix them as soon as i can. Its just that the rendering takes way to long. I couldnt really think of what else to add to my website, so if you have any suggestions, theyre most welcome! :)

Advert

I was just browing the internet when I came across this advert of coca-cola!
I find it quite innovative and imaginative. The character goes through a various number of sceneries which I find adds to the creative side of it. The idea behind it is simply beautiful, which made it an interesting advert to watch.

coca-cola ad

There are soo many characters in this short animation, makes me wonder how many people sat making it and how long it took. This advert shows us the endless pit-hole our imagination can be if we set our minds to it.

Audiosurf

This is an interactive game which lets you choose your own music to play. The user controls a levitating spacecraft similar to wipeout, the player must collect 3 or more boxes of the same colour. there are 14 options to choose from which add the to the diversity of the game, from different styles to different levels. One spaceship has only 1 colour to collect but has grey blocks which must be avoided. While another has 3 colours to collect. The game also allows you to choose different environment which make you feel like you playing a different game.
The full version is available for purchase on steam.

3D Avatar Synopsis

Have you ever wanted to enter a role playing game which allows you to explore endlessly around a beautifully created map, attack monsters you desire, complete quests, or just roam around to make friends, well Silkroad is the game for you. The map follows the route of the silroad which is from china to europe and vice versa. There are many different classes and weapons you get to choose from, this allows each person to have a slightly different character. I started roaming around the map, looking for people to communicate with. I have realized that not everybody likes to be friendly. Some characters just ignore you and go ahead with their work, but there are quite a few characters who like to mingle and make friends. The best way in the game is to join a guild. A guild is a huge group of people who form their own team, thus allowing many characters to mingle. The game has included missions which require your team to participate in quests, They allow you to interact with ur team members in order to perform the task at hand. Such missions would include a fortress war, where guilds go up against eachother and you need to communicate with ur team to win. Trade routes to earn money, you need to have majority of you guild to help you with this as there are many theives running around the map, so you have to appoint a member to trade and many others to hunt (characters who follow the trader and fight off theives). Overall this game is a lot of fun for personal and group entertainment. I have made many friends and joined a guild in this game, I must say it was a good experience.

2nd term Final Project edit

I was not fully happy with my final video, therefore after coming back to Nottingham, I have started re-editing and removing most of the bugs from my final piece. The video will take some time to render, so here are some pictures to give you a rough idea of what has been changed.



I made the bottle fall right below the camera.


I changed the lighting so that the whole video lasts one 'day' instead of three.


With editing the lighting, there is more of an evening look to the water.

P+P

here are 3 new photography pictures i took suring my holiday in dubai!

Project 1 II

here is my design plan for project 2, and my final 3d max scene!
hope u like it



Project 2 Plan

Final project (final)
Uploaded by speedrahul

For this 3d max project, we were given the choice of creating anything we wanted. I have chosen to explain how i interpret my life, a basic layout of my life in an animated scene. The bottle is me, empty, lonely and fragile, the messege inside is my destiny, completely unknown. The sea is time, the first island is my childhood, the trees signfy shelter and food. the 2nd island slightly more steeper is my yound adulthood and finally the last island is the rest of my life.

Project 1

Well I am on my way to completing my 2nd term project! here are a few essentials!

here is a small preview of my project!

soon to come! - my final project in 3d max, Project 2 plan, Final post of avatar.

train

my friend showed me this video while browsing!
its amazing i would love to learn how to do this!

3D practice

ok so iva been practicing 3Dmax on 2 different projects, my 1st 1 included a first person view where the camera is being shot at frm a foggy distanc. I had put in a lot of effort into this project bvut unfortunately for me while rendering the final piece, both files got corrupted due to my computer restarting midway.
My 2nd project was a speaker system with a 3d equilizer, im not extremely happy with this piece but i am content with it. I will start work on my final avatar project now.

I would recommend this game to everyone! it is a game with its own original style. the camera is in third person, but the character is slightly to the side. In the start of the game the player is dizzy and you can see every detail ingame! in games such as splinter cell, rainbow 6, and others, you have to press a button to go up against a wall whereas in this game it does it automatically.

this game is amazinly detailed graphics as well as an enormous physics engine.
for me, ths game is at my highest level of rating along with 'max payne' (which i finished in 1 day).

here are a few screenshots of the game

WEEK 03



ok its high time I write another post on my avatar. I have been trying my best to level up my char! and chk out some of the new pix



here are 2 friends of mine on 'bezerk' mode, u can gain bezerk while killing mobs and gaining exp.



here me and my party are attacking mobs together.



and finally here is my char!



here is my char using a buff called 'long shot' which increases the distance of aim as well as power.






Here are two pictures of my char attacking a huge monster!

in my next post i will show my char in detail.

interactives

I was taking a look at interactives one day, and i found some very astonishing sites. I thought i would share some links with u as i hope it would amaze you just as much as it did me.

funneldesigngroup

mystic monkey (currently down, but keep an eye out for it)

Drum (this may not be an interactive, but a flash video definately worth watching)

AV

just plain wow!
this music video for the song 'mer du japon' by french duo 'air' just amazes me. I love the blend to it, it has 2 dancers whos choreography is simply beautiful, animated bubbles and fish floating around, these ripples frm the dancers, the band in the background, these splashs of matching colours and best of all a dragon.
this is an interesting side to AV, i have never seen anythin as good as this before.

have a look!



I also saw this music video by someone here in nottingham. its titled "Mark Ronson ft. Amy Winehouse - Valerie (Baby J Remix)"
i like the video embeded into a poster effect, the video and the music has a nice flare to it.

WEEK 02



Today I will introduce my char to you. In order to enjoy the different parts of the game, you have to level. This can obviously take a very long time, but i have managed to get my friend to level me up using a meathod commonly known as 'taxi'. Where the main player kills mobs (monsters) of lower level compared to them but an 11 level gap between the mob and the player who is taxi'ing.

So right now im stuck in a delima, as i havnt done the quests properly i have less gold which means i cant buy equipment. As soon as i catch my friend online ill get him to send me some gold, but till then here is my char.



here i am in the first EU city
I am level 29, took me little less than a week, usually takes 2 months.






here i am just showing you some of the 'viewtiful'graphics of SRO



as i mentioned earlier, my char has a sub-class called bard, here is a picture of my char doing a speed buff (magic on the char, uses mp).



here is my char using the crossbow to attack mobs.

next time on my SRO update, i will upgrade my char into my very own second self.

Trees

in todays seminar, we learnt how to make and map a tree.
here is my attempt at it in class, im not really happy with it so im going to make a new one at home.

3D squiddy thing

for our second seminar, we had to create a squid or octopus looking thing. I hav managed to add a little more to the project. ;)
I have added animation to 4 squids, the water surface and the camera.
took a lot of hard work for 3 seconds of animation, but it was definately worth it!
hope you like it.

colour and light

For our tutorial, we had to post pictures of colour and light. These are a few of my images tht scream colour or light to me:

Flash of Speed:



i just had to post this picture as its a perfect example of light.

Ultimate Spark:



This image is a spark from my friend's zippo lighter, I managed to get perfect timing!

Soaring High:



I took this picture in a moving car, was pretty lucky. To me this picture screams colour, as you can see the grass looks like a lush green as compared to the slightly duller yet shiny rock.

Mid-summer's daydream:



took this picture through my window! the colour jus came out beautiful!
