Primitives

Assignment Name: Primitives

This assignment required us to create an image in Maya using basic polygons such as squares and circles. My intention was to create a small house with tree on a green grass plain which I feel I manage to accomplish. Using basic shapes to communicates bushes and trees were a bit of a stretch but creating the house was simple enough. The colors I primarily used were brown to indicate wood and green to indicate grass or tree leaves. I overplayed squares on rectangles to create the windows and used a reduced polygon count triangle to make the roof, but I feel it’s a bit crooked. The tress was made using cylinders as a base and layers of circles for the leaf turfs on the tip.

The focal point of the image is the house as it is placed firmly in the center of the image with everything surrounding it and the light being focused on it which I feel like I managed to convey easily enough. I used two different lighting spots that focus on the house and to show off the overall image in different angles but some lights are more intense than others.



Overall I say I’m proud of how it came out as my first image made in Maya but wish I had more time to be a bit more creative after seeing what my fellow classmates have managed to create doing the same assignment.

Megaman Level 1 Feedback

Ragalla Seliby-Kaplan When creating my Megaman level I looked up other levels from Megaman 6 and Megaman 1 specifically. I looked up the overall size of each level and wanted to make something of equal length if not a bit shorter. While I have not played a classic Megaman game in a while, but I have played the x series which is overall the same. When working with the Megaman level design I counted the number of squares necessary to make the level the right size and proper length. When developing I will admit it took me a but to get the hang of the program but after that making levels was a bit easy and fun. I made the levels linear as it was supposed to be as and kept up with the usual Megaman level design methods. While not using spikes, I wanted to avoid pits at all cost but compromised and used them but avoided things that I personally felt were a bit cheap such as enemies on small ledges. Due to the lack of enemy variety I decided to have them placed in unique areas to add varie

3D Game Level Feedback

When making my 3D level I followed the tutorial presented to us in class and unfortunately used the detailed environment design rather than the simplified one which explains the time it took my assignment to upload. Despite this I still manage to implement the design I was going for using the model presented to us with the Disney example of a center place of interest and areas surrounding it being interest points to hook customers into seeing the whole park. I wanted to implement something similar but much more simplified. The idea was to have a center area that looped outward and had players to further out to explore and have to find some keys and head back to the center in order to reach the exit but ultimately I had fail in that ambition but with tools like this I can definitely see myself coming back and making something of this scale a bit more detailed for my final product. I wanted something a bit more exploratory that had you going inside some not to deep caverns to l
