School’s been a lot. With current class work and other priorities for my fraternity, I honestly haven’t been able to work on my thesis that much. I’ve been extremely busy having to do homework for other classes, as well as sending emails and attending meetings so everything’s in check. But in the process, I think … Continue reading “Alex’s Thesis Update (Inside the Mind of A Streamer)”

Mendez’s Thesis Updates
Most of the updates I have are conceptual. I’m sticking with my thesis idea; that is, a playable resume/auto-biography. The (tentative) title is Play my Life. One of the biggest challenges was how I was going to frame the game for a player. A generic menu seemed… bland, to say the least. I decided I’d … Continue reading “Mendez’s Thesis Updates”
Tom Campbell’s Thesis Summary: In five words.
I’m making a Roblox game. I played Roblox when I was younger, back when it was more like a single game than an entire gaming platform. I made a bunch of friends when I got invited into the prestigious Retexture Artists Official Channel; the admins would look for users who made good retextures of avatar … Continue reading “Tom Campbell’s Thesis Summary: In five words.”
Ben Spizuco’s Public Update Warren Wants Me To Write
Wow, y’all are writing walls of text. This shouldn’t be like that. I’m making an album. Other people have done that before. It’s not a great thesis idea because it’s single-faceted, and it’s not as impressive as a 3D animated short film even though it’s infinitely easier to consume. I could rant but instead I’ll … Continue reading “Ben Spizuco’s Public Update Warren Wants Me To Write”

I am going with my first idea to create a conceptual mental health/wellness app that emphasizes using less screen time and diverting attention away from … Continue reading “Carson’s revised concept”

Walter Beese – Revised Concept
After reviewing the feedback that I received on my initial ideas, I have decided to pursue my first idea. My first idea is to make a live action short film (around 5-10 minutes) with a CGI character. I chose this project because it combines my knowledge of film and 3D animation. This project will allow … Continue reading “Walter Beese – Revised Concept”
Three Project idea concepts
1. Hand-drawn animation. Story based short following a few of my characters. Would be one scene total. Would try some aspects like action shots.2. Comic book. A full issue of a hand drawn comic book. Would incorporate a full short story. Would show my features as an artist.3. Character design show case. Using multiple medias … Continue reading “Three Project idea concepts”
Revised concept
So from all the feedback that I have received and after running the idea past my friends I can confidently and excitedly say that I am going ahead with the 3rd idea. So far everyone that I have talked to about the volleyball idea was super excited to do it and in turn it made … Continue reading “Revised concept”
Pat O’Callaghan Revised Idea
After some reflection on the feedback both from in class and from the comments here on the blog, I have decided to start to look into Lego AR a little more in depth. Lego has made use of AR in a couple of different ways already. In some Lego stores they have a terminal that … Continue reading “Pat O’Callaghan Revised Idea”
