Table and Chair

Name: Ragalla Seliby-Kaplan
Assignment: Table and Chair


The Table and Chair assignment required us to create a table and chair set and create realistic textures and imprint them on our polygons. Using the UV editor, we found actual textures online and altered them in photoshop to make them look more realistic. We main used square polygons to create both chair and table and where told to keep it simple and within our creative ranges but could experiment somewhat with texturing and how many chairs for the table set.

I had issues with the UV at first as applying textures requires us to manage tiny details on the UV to make the textures look natural. The emphasis was on making the checkboard UV “squares,” as anything else would come off as unnatural. The checkboard UV and viewing allowed me to adjust in real time, but I soon learned that each face effects the others so manipulating them separately was the ideal method. 


Another issue was measuring as I had a real chair source image to replicate and imitate which meant measuring its overall shape. Luckily the one provided already came with measurements but translating that to Maya was difficult for. Finding a texture was easy but lacking photoshop on my computer meant I had to do it in the lab which gave me less time to work overall. I wasn’t even able to create the chair due to how much I worried about the table and had to recreate after issues with my first program caused me to start over.

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
