3D Virtual Game World Design

Create and complete your own 3D Game World! Working in pairs students will learn to use Platinum Arts Sandbox Game Maker software. This course is an introduction to basic techniques used to create 3D gaming environments. Basic techniques include creating structures, buildings, tunnels, stairs, and outdoor terrains that include hills, mountains, valleys, and lakes. Students working in pairs will learn to create rotating objects and characters and add Visual and Audio special effects and experiment with textures. We will explore scripting by looking at simple demo scripts. On the final day, students will use the skills learned along with their imagination and creativity to create their own unique 3D Game Environment. Students will also be able to download the software at home. (Windows only)
