Hello this is Ian Howard typing and I welcome you too my blog and congratulate you by stumbling across this blog via crawling through the dark mysterious nooks and crannies of the internet.
I intend this to be a virtual diary tracking all my thoughts and ideas for my final year at the University of Cumbria where I am learning the "Art of Video Game Design".
The first major project we have to finish for our final year is a personal project involving having 8 final rendered images of various bits and bobs but to get there we need to show in total 3 possible ideas to make these 8 images meaning across summer we need 24 images finished for possible final renders....phew!
Right now I have a strong contender for my first of the three ideas....but I'm not telling yet! but I will say I have been messing around with the Unreal Development Kit to test some ideas and technology that hopefully with give a rather interesting edge to my work (the secret ingredient are specular maps at the moment!)
Speaking of UDK, I've been learning about it a lot this week as I've been trying to learn as much as I can about it very quickly and in a week I've managed to make this;
Apart from clearly I need to remember how to change video capture settings I was very happy to learn about post processed effects so I could add things like vision blurring whilst falling and then also becoming hazy in the water, I'll upload some of my early creations so you can see how much this has progressed in just one week.
