More Uncharted Ideas

Hey everyone,

I was lucky enough to get these Hi-Res pictures from the uncharted games (provided by Kurtis & Gamespress.co.uk) . Feel free to give feed back on any of these. This way we have more variety of color pallets to choose from.

Sculp3d

Here is a time laps of my program so far. I just added 3 new brushes... (Grab, Snake hook and pinch). I was not sure what I was making, just making sure the brushes worked. I also changed the view so you can zoom in more without the object disapearing. Let me what you think.

Club Meetings Update!

It looks like our meetings will be held
Monday and Wednesday from 3pm-5pm

Friday @ noon is another possibility

I will see if we can reserve either room IT 202 or 106
to hold our meetings. Hope to see you guys there!

this weeks meetings will have to be held Wednesday and Friday

Fundraiser Idea

so now that we are officially a club (and soon to be organization) I had an idea for a fundraiser so we can make some moneyz. in a nutshell, we can sell t shirts to the general student body.

Each of us would choose a theme and create a t-shirt design in Photoshop. Each design can be placed in a catalog and we can estimate the price of each t-shirt depending on materials and production cost plus profit. Then we can get permission from ICC to set up a booth manned with club volunteers to take orders from the students. we will have sample t-shirts showcased so people know how the feel and how they look in reality before purchasing (this way we draw attention rather then just have a catalog filled with pictures).

The money we make can either go to help fund us going to GDC next year or as prizes for any competitions we have. What do you guys think?

We are Offically a Club as well as in process to becoming an organization

What this means?

Our ICC representative and acting Vice President Jason Norman will be attending Inter Club Council every week gathering more information on how we can operate our club which would include fund rasing opportunities, Fund allocation and, Group Events. So any questions and or concerns can be presented to our rep to talk on our behalf at the ICC meetings.

We can start holding weekly meetings for our group and begin working on projects.

Antique Trunk By Jason

Hello everybody. This is my presentation page for an antique trunk that I made for Modeling and Texturing. The project was to make a "crate" or anything that resembled the shape of a box. The poly limit was 50 polygons and I finished my model with 50 polys and 92 tris. Let me know what you guys think.

Subdivide, Undos and Redos

I took a while to figure it out but now Sudivision Works! Also Undos and Redos are posable.

Tell me what you think.
