Post-Vacation, I find myself now in an interesting point. I'm doing a design internship for Brian Wierman, a 10-15 hr / week gig that so far I've only gotten one contract in despite willingness to do more. I also have an offer to work at Red Barn Collections putting together journals to sell, which...
Job Hunt

So graduating in about a week. Beginning my job hunt. Looking for jobs in 3d art, of course, but the field is so narrow. I've expanded to also include marketing jobs and any interesting temp jobs. I'm also keeping an eye out for qa testers as I do enjoy doing that.My portfolio will continue to...
Homework 11

Today I began this assignment, and I am writing premortem for this point.Last assignment didn't go well and this is basically a 3d version of it. But luckily I learned a few things I want to write down. One, is that I should implement a Bi Tree immediately, and modify it instead of what I did last...

Homework 9 implemented a KD Tree to make a boid simulator - simulating birds flocking.
The birds flock so that they don't crowd each other, they steer torwards a common point of heading, and they steer torwards an average center. I made mine so that all these factors are weighted into the angle of...

Getting read to start applying for internships so this page will also be used for holding my portfolio. Hoping there is no problem getting games posted up here, though I really only have one that I'm proud of.

Been working on finishing the title splash screen. Got the polygons and animation all done but the UVs are largely in need of finishing. The design of the visual for the 3d lettering, in particular.Gonna discuss it with my next class. Also need to get to making more levels.

AVL TreeMy AVL Tree is very similar to the Binary search tree. The key difference of course is that it self balances upon insertion on new elements by rotating each side of itself to be biased torwards that side (as a preparation for the next roation, and only if it isn't already), and then doing a...

Binary Search TreeSo a Binary Search Tree was this week's assignment. It is a data structure that stretches from a primary node called the root. Every node will have a comparable value, and so the tree is a way of helping to store data in a sorted order, and also to find the data quickly. It does...

So we were supposed to release our first build a week and a half ago. It got pushed somehow to yesterday. I ended up mostly doing ui artwork, just a few models for such, and some level designs which hayden ended up cutting a lot on. Which seems a little disrespectful of we designers to cut our work...
Homework 5 Sorting
02/15/2014 11:47
This is a graph showing the running times of various sorting algorithms at 10, 100, and 1000 integer elements each. At 10000 elements, most everything has stack overflow from insufficient memory storage because of the recursive algorithms. Those that did complete took hundreds of seconds. In short,...
