ARTIFACTS:
Sept. 24th was our first colloquium of the semester on 3D Modeling and Game/Graphics Programming.
Our student presentation was on the “state of the art” in Game and Graphics programming.
A 10 minute digital presentation was shown on the creation, design and development of the
computer-generated movie “Final Fantasy” by Square Enix. It covered the origin and concept
of the story and the design and development of the main characters, Aki Ross, the movie's heroine and
her mentor, Dr. Cid.
Each attendee was given a resource package that listed the website where student could download the open source Blender software, websites for reference and tutorials, information on the open source graphics library OpenGL, university' that offer degrees in game development, courses that teach Blender, and the basics of 2D and 3D graphics design at YSU. The special giveaway at the end of the presentation was a collectors edition of “Final Fantasy:Advent Children”.
A special presentation was given by Dr. John Sullins on the basics of 3D character development using Blender. John R. Sullins received the B.S. degree in computer science from M.I.T. in 1983, the M.S. degree in computer science from the University of Rochester in 1985, and the Ph.D. in computer science from the University of Maryland in 1990. Currently, he teaches 3D character modeling using Blender. ...more
