With the recession still holding a firm grip on game companies wallets the company Free Radical, who have been working on star wars battlefront 3 made a load of redundancies lately. One of them being the game artist Richard Smith, who uploaded some of what he had been working on before he was cut loose. Obviously Lucasarts was quick to remove the images but not before they made their way all over the internet.<br /><br />So i was looking at all this artwork and i was thinking well im into all this stuff like star wars, ive watched all the films and played all the games, and with artwork like this being released its obvious things like this are worked on as games. So why cant i use the 3d skills ive learnt so far and put it towards something im passionate about. I mean it not too stupid of a thought since this sort of thing DOES make it onto consoles. So without further question i had it, im making a gun from star wars.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiukRsWu56m828eJ_SCAxqweDbHnyotMlKTwj24xaxq56qxp1SZCZ8Pa8fP6FzOgI1j4bb6YLdD3IXpK14F1EfmuQRqRJfGTpT1N93dLBtWRpzNbcltKEH9PznpfFR5s5mPXQbHrt1wiWE/s1600/HanSolo_bflogo.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 142px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiukRsWu56m828eJ_SCAxqweDbHnyotMlKTwj24xaxq56qxp1SZCZ8Pa8fP6FzOgI1j4bb6YLdD3IXpK14F1EfmuQRqRJfGTpT1N93dLBtWRpzNbcltKEH9PznpfFR5s5mPXQbHrt1wiWE/s320/HanSolo_bflogo.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5454613311415146882" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgtBJhwYaIGPiPZzKUwQkL1Cf7y8LQ63_rJLeFg-3KOu10CU0Udk7bSAQkrnVgMlJp4qVJnNxKpCL-Et3mS9efMt52Onr4VCliC3M0a0RF8pI_a9vm-37XJu2ug_9ny8s7AceE4b_rjmmI/s1600/Jawa.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 142px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgtBJhwYaIGPiPZzKUwQkL1Cf7y8LQ63_rJLeFg-3KOu10CU0Udk7bSAQkrnVgMlJp4qVJnNxKpCL-Et3mS9efMt52Onr4VCliC3M0a0RF8pI_a9vm-37XJu2ug_9ny8s7AceE4b_rjmmI/s320/Jawa.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5454613306871232722" border="0" /></a><br />After a while chipping away at it im almost there. yes it would be a lasser gun from star wars but to be honest its just pretty much a lee enfield rifle sawn up with a grenade launcher cup attached o the end. Im at 900 tris currently but since i havent got much left to do i reckon i could keep it at 1,000 tris by the end (hopefully ill get more detail into it with the never ending quest to learn mesh baking) anyhoo ill leave it at that<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhYUyV6uD_xzI18xlhOo4JBMp42_vbJlQYSzZTf6wSZPcPXiFMwA0dJkoYTRcD7HE5zt5M4-h-_fGsBpWd4cfjx65k-0ZbZRRCSX43B4lUl9isnMyyfs3fPoNIShfTHrSQvTRBeQi8o2KQ/s1600/gun+blog+upload.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 205px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhYUyV6uD_xzI18xlhOo4JBMp42_vbJlQYSzZTf6wSZPcPXiFMwA0dJkoYTRcD7HE5zt5M4-h-_fGsBpWd4cfjx65k-0ZbZRRCSX43B4lUl9isnMyyfs3fPoNIShfTHrSQvTRBeQi8o2KQ/s320/gun+blog+upload.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5454613318619794946" border="0" /></a>Connor Chameleonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04586783087704613134noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8617756570969911686.post-80868777673884796622010-03-30T10:30:00.001-07:002010-04-30T03:34:46.479-07:00Whats LeftWith the year almost over i thought id kind of look back and catalogue what ive learnt over the year and what needs to be learned still in order to be a good game artist. This is more of a list of what needs to be done to help me more than anything.<br /><br />Most of what ive been doin over this year hasnt really involved fine tuning my skill in max and photoshop etc etc. But more in some shape or form learning new programs that are used within the industry. As people know there are shit loads of them from z brush to mudbox to mesh baking programs to shaders. And i thought if you want to get good you need more than one tool at your disposal, because even if your amazing at max if thats all you know how to do your still gonna have a lot of gaps in your ability to work.<br /><br />So firstly the program ive been learning an using the most is Headus UV, a UV unwrapping program, and ill tell you now, that thing is a dream. For me there is 3 things to modelling any asset, the modelling, the unwrapping and the texturing. Modelling comes first, extruding, welding, combining objects to create the silluoette and shape of the object you want to make, seeing you have nothing and have it turn into someting on the screen. Texturing, taking the dull grey model and putting colour onto it, bringing it to life, seeing it become something that looks alive, completing it to see it become a complete finished model. But unwrapping is teadious, its the boring bridge between the 2 fun things about modelling, matching UV's, making them fit, organizing them, its just so dull, And the problem is it always has to be done. This is where Headus UV has been helping, firstly its by no means a program that 'does it for you' its a program that helps you and reduces the time it takes to unwrap something dramatically, less time on the boring stuf, more time on the fun stuff, and tweaks the issues that any game artist can make. I bloody love how much that program has helped and i shall be continuing to use it for quite some time now.<br /><br />Xnormal is next on the list, Mesh baking, well....this has been one fuck up to the next for me, but in the end i think i got there, i must admit i havent learnt how to do it as well as i had hoped but the principle is there, i can do besic bakes so with practice over the summer i should get there.<br /><br /><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div>As for overall work this year i do feel i fell into the infamous second year stoop. i havent produced as much work or learnt as much as i had hoped, and i only have myself to blame for that. But one good thing has came out of this, and that would be quite a difference in 2d work. Last year i will completely admit i was totally scared of 2s work, id never drawn anything properlly before so the thoughbt of picking up a pencil or using a graphics tablet bewildered me, and as a result i avoided it like the plague. But this year i decided that no matter how crap my work would be i would stick through it and get some 2d digital painting done, and im glad i did. After all the crap i finally started producing some hald decent digital painting, my only regret is that i did all this sooner.</div><div> </div><div>So with this ill leave you with a comparison of how my 2d has improved over the past year<br /><br /></div><div></div><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 230px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5465876545728281522" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgDfeUVo85j8NzBcRrCzwP1XP9VNo4z9tdfC5Eo0Fx1USU2uO_sHvSXzx2u01SCkZmkCtEy-aDs3LmnSPb4mCmqsVPbRyup7yQltmiv28ZITRSHnJ0n1vVXOJbSQf4P5FsAshhy6fURutM/s320/Canal+Final+02.jpg" /><br /><div></div><br /><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 200px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5465876314853777266" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgvUpRKJH6ElNx1lRYZss0fSL3C1W4HoOgCDA6YYTgLAxjc4bGrU1peoI-4-J7y3nNUyBjxoflucIA6IGYLZVNXIatCPzG9qOpGuVkp5QQg-QevCqv1zCL9fzeKk5XG4mCa6qLDn3FUGlM/s320/Untitled-4+outline+maybe+colour+barnicles+copy.jpg" /><br /><div></div><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 298px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5465876090284131026" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhJqUU_2nGRLCaeB9Fr_Q1tGiLr2MmWNkk7I8frxJ63w6VVhjI8tErS04T4I9ap-poiBn6TOdHc2koEK71-QrSTlWVLpcJ-qhViv8xdz6A4g-uGFL5BmAkQEUOk0Mf26S8utXwIv85ppWw/s320/Vehicle+Final+Redo.jpg" /><br /><div></div><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 253px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5465875667567347282" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjVxqtxg3zYQ6ZY89m4HFv_KhUv3BtLWP0hK2flfEtyI3Hwc5BjD19GanCanK37B3TcXMnvv-SjlU4D8qDRam_59T-M2JgghYQwpRJKuT0P_hEr8ECzjdeJ1LK-KvhqHbxLuAY0Myi2FAg/s320/Abbey+Park+Final+Redo.jpg" /><br /><div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div>Connor Chameleonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04586783087704613134noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8617756570969911686.post-44419835086992560812010-03-30T09:20:00.001-07:002010-03-30T12:22:01.113-07:00group projectSo with the group project almost over with i thought it would be the best time for some reflection on it and how i think it went for me and what i learned.<br /><br />So for starters throughout this whole thing my job within the group was one of the 'asset guys'. My job was to produce asset after asset needed for the scene and pass them up the pipeline to be textured and put into unreal. This consisted of things from major assets like stairways to trinkets like buckets and bins. I think this was a good experience for me as it gave me insight into how its done in the industry because of the fact the working envirionment i was under wasnt too far off the industry, small groups of assets with short deadlines. a toilet to be modelled, 1 day, 2 urinals, 2 days, the main stairs, 5 days, more realistic, very short deadlines unlike others like a bin, 4 weeks.<br /><br />It was also insight into how the industry pipeline probably works. With my job being to make assets the majority of what i modelled wasnt textured by me. It was mearly modelled, UV unwrapped and then passed up to the pipeline to people whose job it was to texture the assets passed onto them. So in order for the pipeline to work correctly i had to make sure my assets were efficiently modelled so that anyone who took them wouldnt have to worry about importing or exporting issues, and the unwrapping had to be done properly so that the other person wouldn't get confused or have to unwrap the whole thing again themself. This sort of workflow and dependancy on each other to get their job done right and on time so it wouldnt give other people a hard time was the key to keeping our ship afloat so to speak, and was quite a difficult task sometimes.<br /><br />This i think showed how important teamwork and keeping to the pipeline is, because like every person trying to do a group project for the first time it had cock ups. Like i was assigned the task of modelling the stairs and handing it up the pipeline, which was done a day late by me. So when it came to passing it on the person i was supposed to give it to they were supposed to do it the day before so they had moved onto other assets, meaning me putting the stairs on their list messed up their workflow. This meant in order to not mess up their workflow i took the stairs off their hands by taking it back to unwrap myself, which then meant my lateness had both disrupted someone elses workflow and given me more work to do. This was a but of a bummer but it showed how important it is to keep with the teams program.<br /><br />so all of this has helped me even if just a little see into how it will probably have to be done when were all not at uni and all have proper jobs. As for the unreal stuff, i admit i havent learnt that much of unreal and im finding it dissappointing because it is definately something you need to leanr to get good at the inudstry. I mean all games use engines, evey one of them, so to know how to us an engine is as impornt as it can get i think. So over summer i reckon ill be fiddling about with unreal in my own time to get my skills up on that one. But apart from that i think it went well, ive sort of went bak to basics and learnt how o quickly and effectively model all the small assets that are needed to complete a room and make it look whole. So with that ill leave it......Connor Chameleonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04586783087704613134noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8617756570969911686.post-61686952208716485412010-02-23T06:35:00.001-08:002010-02-27T13:00:09.262-08:00BMWSo to start this off i thought id go on about my futile attempt to do my first ever mesh bake with a pair of binoculars.<br /><br />My first ever attempt to mesh bake pretty much went tits up due to the fact my models ended up being a bit dodgy, but it has had its benefits. Ive learnt to mesh bake in the process but in future can only do it successfully if i have good efficient models to do it with. So with that my binocular mesh baking project reached its limit.<br /><br />the past few days ive been entertaining myself with the BMW brief, and I feel this has really helped me get work done.<br /><br />This is because apart from the obvious work of the group project where ive been given specific tasks to do when im trying to do my own work in my own time ive ended up sitting down infront of the computer and going right lets model something, but then drawing a blank. Unless you actually sit down with an idea of what you want to specifically model already drilled into your head i find it quite difficult to just model something. I mean in terms of modeling assets for games there literally isnt anything that you cant model, so i end up not knowing what the hell to do. So BMW brief has helped me a lot because it means BMW has put the idea in my head for me, im going to model a car.<br /><br />Plus this brief is for an opportunity to go to munich and work for BMW themselves for a while, which could be a great experience, and has kind of motivated me into getting it done. im pretty skeptical about doing anything like actually sending my model to them, im just really using their brief as a reason to get a car modelled, but you never know<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiSWiwoRedZV29ljyi2PIw0lPWBDUVVOYNffRjMr0Yf_gcmyFpZ9M6lkrXr1ce6AX4Ivgj72inDkVrLfKvqKma6pvIYTqFkSnDgfwZr4RmmWeiuhH44JaW2DiRiSIFihDyvUqPQCiABZqE/s1600-h/bmw+blog+2.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 227px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiSWiwoRedZV29ljyi2PIw0lPWBDUVVOYNffRjMr0Yf_gcmyFpZ9M6lkrXr1ce6AX4Ivgj72inDkVrLfKvqKma6pvIYTqFkSnDgfwZr4RmmWeiuhH44JaW2DiRiSIFihDyvUqPQCiABZqE/s320/bmw+blog+2.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5443030689069764178" border="0" /></a><br /><br />My WIP in goin half decent at the moment, ive got the car in at 3,00ish tris currently, but the wheels are at 1,000 each at the moment due to me goin and putting a bit extra detail into making the alloys, so thats where most the polys are.

With it being internet tutorials im learning all this from and some of my work getting better from it and some just failing im starting to believe tutorials arent the law of the land and that some out there are genuinely good and help you and others are just shit in all honesty. But for the most part this one was actually good. So i used it to present my bin, and im happy with the result, so more where this came from i guess.Connor Chameleonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04586783087704613134noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8617756570969911686.post-36162044433393671412010-02-07T13:44:00.000-08:002010-02-07T14:28:42.228-08:00Mesh Baking FailureOK so as part of second year stuff ive started learning a few extra things in max, one of them being mesh baking. Mesh baking is where u can 'bake' the detail of a high poly object onto a low poly object so it creates the illusion of that low poly object having better detail and a higher tri count than it actually does have. So i got my hands on a rather useful tutorial on how to do this, and first off to do this you need a low poly model of what you want the detail baked onto and the high poly model containing all the detail. This in fact i learned is the longest part, mesh baking itself takes next to no time, modelling the to things is what takes all the time in this. So after all this i had my 2 models, and you can see the diference between the high and the loe quite clearly.<br /><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi5rhJLi32q_GB0KNl-9ooNuWR_iafnwjqC-X5sY3SDo3Ku9YgePrtZ8UBGWJWtfhJCD7o-YxmzgPxSB1TkxeK1m6RheiT3PHb2HWPqSDngZhTDZOBfyiy-D-j9GyPKYszcIAMYj3pnP_g/s1600-h/blog+binoc.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 194px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi5rhJLi32q_GB0KNl-9ooNuWR_iafnwjqC-X5sY3SDo3Ku9YgePrtZ8UBGWJWtfhJCD7o-YxmzgPxSB1TkxeK1m6RheiT3PHb2HWPqSDngZhTDZOBfyiy-D-j9GyPKYszcIAMYj3pnP_g/s320/blog+binoc.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5435630120151830594" border="0" /></a><br />So from here i started following the tutorial up to rendering the normal map which is where it all went wrong, and this pissed me off cus i dont know where ive went wrong.

But ive got some 2D up this time. See unlike last year ive started to enjoy/ get half decent (i think) at digital painting. Last year i was completely useless at it to the point where i just didnt even try to do it. But this year ive decided to stick to it no matter what and ive ended up getting some half decent things out of it finally. My 3D is still slowly improving althought im still not happy with what im getting with characters, my head really doesnt look like me, and with me having thoughts about goin into chareacter modelling i need to improve.

But where does all that time go? because its not like its 40 hours i cant physically remember or account for, there hours are still there, its just whats being done with them. This have made me think that it isnt about using up every hour of everyday, but rather just about knowing what is going on with that time and what your doing with it<br /><br /> So with that in mind i though it'd be best to explain what i do with my time in terms of work. Me, like a few other people are blessed (or rather cursed) with having dodgy sleeping patterns due to multiple reasons. I would use what precious hours of daylight months like November and December had to do the necessary things like food shopping and sleeping, then during the night when all was quiet i would crack on with work. For pretty much all of the first term this was in fact my working pattern. But was this really for the best, I mean doing the tasks like food shopping during the day when you can get away with distractions and doing work at night when all is quiet so distractions are a bit more rare seems to be for the best? In heinsight i think it actually wasnt, and this needs fixing. Working at such a time might provide no distractions but working in the place i do might provide temptation, my room contains the internet, TV, games consoles which means work can still be slowed down. I thought it was at first, i mean it was my preffered working environment, your room at 4am has no distractions, your phone sure isnt going to ring with any phone calls or texts because everyone is asleep, and everyone else snoozing means going out and socializing isnt on the table either. But Ive come to realize that you cant really plan every minute of the day, unexpected things happen, phone calls, people unexpectedly popping round to your flat, even friends and family going into hospital so there are moments when it all goes out the window. Which comes to the fact it doesnt matter what time of day it is, weather its night or day, weather its your fault or not, you can still end up wasting time.<br /><br /> This is why time management is so important, because after you have your events that are unexpected the rest of the time is yours to control, and it needs to be looked after., and it needs to be looked after for that one key word...deadlines. The clues kind of in the name, you have to manage your time so you can get things done on time! So Ive been looking into what time management is and how to do it. To be honest it mainly just about organization, something as simple as knowing what you've got to do with your time and getting it done, not sitting around your workspace going ermmmm soooo whats next? Sort it out, write a list, Ive started keeping post it notes everywhere so when i sit down i have something in my face telling me whats next and when it has to be done for.<br /><br /> So when is your best time to work? I looked into this and i read that...... In terms of time management, you are at your most efficient the day before you start your annual leave. Your time management and efficiency on this day is probably awesome. If you really want to, you can be that well-organized every day. In my opinion that's because you are making sure it gets done ( but not at the cost of quality of course) so u can finish off and go enjoy yourself, nights out, watching a film etc etc. But i do think this can work if you put it down into simple forms. Everyone is a fan of some kind of TV series for example, if the new episode is out, make sure you get the days work done before you allow yourself to watch it, that way you'll enjoy it more and feel satisfied because its like the treat you get for keeping on top of your work. So in this simple for, i think it could be right.<br /><br /> But still looking at things like having certains times while working to have your 'own' time such as films, you have to remember it has to be balanced. All play and no work has bad effects, and vice versa. I mean there is only a certain amount of hours in the day, but there is things you can do to get more time out of it. less nights out for example, just even one night out less a week. Like its not the end all but it does helps. When work needs to be done socialising is one hell of a distraction, but it doesnt mean you have to spend your time at uni being boring and sad. Instead of saying “no” learn to say “later”. You'll enjoy it more without that black cloud hanging over your head of an upcoming review<br /><br /> Some more looking into time research i found the Chinese adage of the longest journey starting with a single step has a couple of meanings: First, you launch the project! Second, by starting, you may realize that there are some things you have not planned for in your process. Details of an assignment are not always evident until you begin the assignment. Personally i find this quite true, more so when it comes to 3D. Even if you know the project is to make a character you still find find issues in terms of making it...How do i make it? where do i start? Again this is organisation, but more so just developing and knowing your own work ethics is the best way to fix this. Personally i strip model heads, so if i need to make one i know that im going to start by doing the eyes, blending that into a cheeks, then into a mouth etc etc so from day one i know where to take it. I think that just having your own work ethics and knowing what they are can get you to work more efficiently, and more importantly, get the work started. Because i think thats quite an important part too, actually getting the work started and getting on with it. I find it best to not sit around wondering how to make it look like how i want it and rather just starting it,make a cylinder, start to divide it, make a box, anything to get the work flowing so the ideas can come with it. But this can something border no planning which can also have it downsides, so again, more time management issues for me. To be fixed.<br /><br /> So in conclusion i do feel last term my time was far from managed and with the seriousness of how important actually managing your time is i think im going to keep it all in mind and make sure that next term is goin to be a whole different storyConnor Chameleonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04586783087704613134noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8617756570969911686.post-38492435063946160902009-12-21T23:32:00.000-08:002010-01-04T07:40:47.486-08:002nd to 3dI remember people saying that second years is just a buffer between 2nd year and 3rd, much like a film, the only reason its there is to prepare you for the 3rd one. But i was thinking in order to prepare you for 3rd year there is actually quite a lot to do. For example if you have recently aspired to be something like a next gen character artist then its going to have to show in your portfolio, which means your 3rd year fmp will probably be along the lines of character designing. But in order to be good at a character artist you need to get certain skills up to scratch, character modelling, texturing, zbrush if you want next gen, rigging, topology and so on. and if you plan on doin this for a 3rd year fmp that means u have the space of second year to not only learn it all but to get good at it, and that to me sounds like a lot of work.<br /><br />This has got me a tad worried about how much work is actually involved in 2nd year as all this practice has to get done in such a short space so you can utilise it and be ready to put it into practice in your 3rd year. Because lets face it, if you want to be something like a character artist and dont know the basics about topology and alpha maps by your 3rd year your a bit fucked. This kinda gives me the idea of stress much? its made me realise how serious and how much work this course is if you truely are driving towards being good in the industry. Which considering the second year is the year where there is a slump at work, i mean with all this in mind shouldnt it be the other way round? with second year being the year out of the 3 where you work the most so you can be prepared for the final hurdle? im finding this worrying. So ill keep this one short and sweet and all im saying is second term a lot more has to be done...beacuse if you want to be good at this second year is important isnt it?Connor Chameleonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04586783087704613134noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8617756570969911686.post-41351118946746381492009-12-21T23:28:00.000-08:002009-12-22T00:23:48.436-08:00Beethoven vs. solid snakeSo in the blue corner we have Beethoven, and in the red corner we have solid snake. Why am i putting these two together? because in the video games industry Beethoven (or at least his musical style) is still kicking arse.<br /><br /> See i found a youtube video that recently made me realise that me along with the majority of the gaming community unknowingly loves Beethoven (or at least his musical style). If you dont believe me then hear me out. Like most other gamers i frequently fall in love with game soundtracks and love listening to game OST's, and i think everyone else does too. I mean how many people dont know how to hum the tetris theme tune? good, or sometimes catchy soundtracks stick and are enjoyed. But its recently hit me that the best and most memorable soundtracks come from classical orchestras. This also applies to film aswell.<br /><br /> This has hit me as quite a wierd dilemma because video games as we know are always pushing the boundaries to find the newest technology and keep the ball rolling forward. But if a game or film is in need of a cracking soundtrack they dont really go to the newest music scene. You dont hear any x factor winners or black eyed peas in video games, they always take a step back to classical orchestral sounds. This combination of the new and the old i do quite like. Most good soundtracks were created with classical orchestras. So an industry always looking into the future and pushing ahead is still relying on a thousand year old medium to give them the good stuff and i find this rather wierd.<br /><br /> I mean look at Star Wars, done by John Williams and the London symphony orchestra. The Call of Duty games still relies on a good old bugle and even Metal Gear Solid, one of the best gaming soundtracks of all time uses Harry Gregson-Williams and the eminence symphony orchestra. And that orchestra was etsablished over 50 years ago, its like gamings grandad doing the soundtracks and yet its still pushing boundaries in the industry. So next time you hear your favourite soundtrack just think that its probably a 500 year old orchestra kicking arse with it.<br /><br /> Ill leave u with the link i was on about earlier to show u what i mean, just watching this video will be able to sum up and explain everything im trying to better than i can, and its pretty awesome too.....<br /><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZfKA4b5SFq4"><br />http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZfKA4b5SFq4</a>Connor Chameleonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04586783087704613134noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8617756570969911686.post-40499826691736368102009-11-19T13:55:00.000-08:002009-11-19T13:57:09.247-08:00More 3D<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhCxwFEjuioMGXg4r55K8oPE-I3ZS3MJnap7Ydtc1b8SbgzLdNT8l88MkYy8qHxVcE4Tsx6NCTzeJwNijJ_MDqDvHJXPp87BdxN-3YizKdohyphenhyphen1V3p17xeAlCUaOJmr8gBhdcP93YBFZFB8/s1600/Model+Final.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px;

But the thing is im really open minded about that subject. At college i stopped on for another year to do a foundation in fine art because i didnt want my portfolio to just contain graphic design. I wasnt prepared to dedicate myself to just one thing so early in life, and here at uni i still kind of feel the same way. I stayed really open minded about what i wanted to aspire to while still thinking about what im passionate about, at first i thought illustration might be a good route because i love music and doing something like creating album artwork could be a good start. But it wasnt until i was casually flicking through prospectus' at college that i first layed eyes on this course. Ive played games for god knows how long and my parents always bug me at home for how i dont have enough storage space for them resulting in my floor being littered with game cases and controllers, so i thought following that route could be it aswell, id love to sit and play a game with my friends and then when the last boss appears on screen i could casually point and go yeah i made that. so here i am.<br /><br />But thing is all the passion aside, when it comes down to experience in whats nessecary to be a game artist i didnt really have that much. When i first joined the course i didnt have experience with any of the modules. Essays i had done (and despised) but blogs no, and in terms of drawing sitting in a park with no more then a sketchbook and a pencil was even new to me, and i remember before uni started i downloaded 3ds max and gave it a go but the second it opened it just baffled me. I knew i wasnt going to suddenly and magically become some shit hot artist so my target for the year wasnt to create awesome artwork and models because it was all new to me and i knew i had to learn it all first, so i simply wanted to keep up with the learning curve. <br /><br />Since ive been hear ive learnt a lot though which has gave me ideas into what i might want to be. My digital painting still sucks big style so i need to put more time into that. But the 3d work is something ive kind of clicked with, i know im not the best modeller yet and my character project shows that but once again i have to walk before i can run. Since being here ive downloaded about 4GB of tutorials for 3ds max showing me how to do everything from modeling a super high poly head to a low poly rubber ducky...seriously, i have a tutorial on how to model a rubber ducky, and personally i enjoy doing the 3d work. Theres nothing better than sitting in your nice warm room at 1AM with a can of beer in one hand and a cigarette in the other cracking one with some editable polys, i fucking love it. Like i said im still very open minded about where to go from uni but something 3d wise wouldnt be too bad for me i think.<br /><br />For reflection i do know ive came along way from merely 6 months ago when the likes of a target weld on max got me confused and drawing the canal was bewildering. My first ever attempt on max i simply sat there making lots of teapots being amused like a simple child and now here i am having to hand in a 2,000 poly character, and thats just 6 months. so my ultimate goal from next 2 years is just to quite simply get better at what im doing, and well see where it gets me by the third year with any luck.Connor Chameleonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04586783087704613134noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8617756570969911686.post-26165759498814005222009-03-25T09:48:00.001-07:002009-03-28T14:36:04.204-07:00Creativity Part TwoAnd so we take a second look at that wonderful word creativity. My last creativity blog just tried to define what it is so its time for a new discussion point. After goin on about what creativity is i started looking at how it gets used and is required within the creative industry, and especially that of video games.<br /><br />The words creativity and original do not go hand in hand in this day and age. Nearly every game is basically the same, I mean when was the last time you played something that wasnt an FPS or RPG, when was the last time you played something that didnt involve guns and shooting people or futuristic environments? not to say that no one is creative and is just instead stealing each others ideas but you get the point. So where is creativity's place in game if its not about making something original and new?<br /><br />Well most of the time games are about setting the bar, with the same ideas as their predecessors being used but looked at in different perspectives and used in different ways to up that bar. Better storytelling, better graphics etc etc, a story isnt original but creating one that can better the previous requires creativity, and that where it can come in for the games industry. That and games can sometime act as inspiration for bigger and better ideas, adding new storylines and characters, weaving in new plots, this is someone using creativity and finding imaginative ways to add to and already exsisting idea in order to improve on it. Once again, creativity in the games industry involves setting the bar.<br /><br />So to get involved with the creative industry what do you need to do? Well i remember Mike once said about how many a people will model ninja soldiers or whatever with the aspiration of being the next Tekken artist and so on, and send them to companies. Like the majority of them they will be put in the 'filing cabinet' AKA the bin, but someone who models their pet dog will probably get person sitting down and looking at it.<br /><br />This is beacuse when it comes to creativity what companies and game are looking for isnt originality because originality is a spin off of predecessing ideas, but more the uncommon and imaginative. Imagination is whats needed to fuel games, afterall ever game out there is someones brain child right? In terms of what ive said theres loads of games with ninjas and all that in them but things like dogs and cats arent really used in games (except for NPC's and Nintendogs for the DS) so to model something like that doesnt show you abilities to model a good looking but generic ninja warrior but your imagination to go for whats uncommon and can be seen as creative and original, and i think this what kind of creativeness the games industry is after.Connor Chameleonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04586783087704613134noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8617756570969911686.post-74795750196925661012009-03-20T07:49:00.000-07:002009-03-23T19:18:09.034-07:00Life Changing or Career Building?When i was at college i was given a lecture on how you can basically fail college and still get into university with unconditional offers based on your portfolio. It was about how your skills and abilities can sometimes over rule qualifications and that if you are good at what you do, and have a shit hot portfolio to prove it, you dont really need qualifications to say your good, your work does it for you. But with some game companies wanting the exact opposite it comes down to which one gets you places in life, the grades of the highly trained programmer or the creative individuals portfolio?<br /><br />Im my opinion i think the portfolio is the more important of the two, the biggest example to back me up here is this. Your at a job interview and the person sat next to you after the same job has left uni with the exact same grades as you but theres only one job available...bam...thats grades getting you the job go out the window because yous are both even, the only way to win this one is with your portfolio. <br /><br />Im a strong believer in the portfolio because of the fact its personal to you, unlike grades which can be as identical as the person next to you portfolios are different. I left college with a final grade of MMM, which is the same grade as like....about 10,000 other students? But i bet none of them had my portfolio and vice versa. Their completely unique to you and show your work and your work only. They can be tweaked to show off your strong points and they can be used to give the employers what they want, bonus points to you. Company vary as much as the weather does these days, which each company making completely different kind of games to one another. So having a portfolio containing the kind of work they do in it will help twist their arm more than a grade ever will i think. So if you want to work for microsoft on the next gears of war, dont go putting your my little pony models models in your portfolio.<br /><br />But specializing in one area to satisfy someone can be a bit dangerous. Specializing in one area can leave you weak in another, while getting good at everything can turn you into the handy man of gaming...good at everything, but not brilliant at one thing, and the word mediocre doesnt seem to get you anywhere in this industry. Also ive heard of universities having 'house styles' where all the students come out with the same kind of stuff in their portfolios. So do universities need to teach it all and give it all to students?<br /><br />Which leads to the question how can education meet these opposing views and yet provide a valid and fulfilling experience to students? Well when it comes to the good experience university living provides that anyways, afterall getting drunk and pursuing women becomes second nature in this kind of habitat, and who doesnt enjoy that? So its what can students learn from education that should be the question.<br /><br />Well I think its down to the student really to specialize and learn about what they are passionate about and seek in life. Uni cant 'teach it all' to a student so its up to them to develop the style that suits them so they can get a job they want. Uni is a stepping stone to teach them their A,B,C's in 3ds max and visual design etc etc, Giving the students the tools that they need to get the job done. The rest is just motivation and passion on the students behalf.Connor Chameleonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04586783087704613134noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8617756570969911686.post-215234865979636672009-03-19T12:48:00.001-07:002009-03-20T07:48:59.680-07:00Sound for Gamessound is used in games to create a variety of things. It can create atmosphere, pace and emotion. all of these tasks can be performed well by the right music and sound, helping support and portray the emotions and feeling that go with the certain settings of the game. If there is a fight scene or you are on the run then a fast paced soundtrack supports the action, creating tension. If a deserted eerie feel is needed as the player explores spooky environments then the classical slow spooky music will be used. Sound seems to be extremely underestimated in games when contrasted against visual looks and effects, as afterall people do generally get more pleased by the look of a giant explosion then the sound of footsteps echoing through a hallway. This i believe gives sound in games more of a background role in overall gameplay, but it is still one of the key components in creating an authentic and rememberable gameplay experience. <br /><br />After doing a bit of homework into the key composers in the games indusrty it striked me that the majority have common traits. For the most part the key composers dont just work in games, they are known throughout all media. Harry Gregson, the man behind all of the Metal Gear Solid soundtracks is also known for his work in the Shrek films and the number 23. Martin O'Donnell has his name to fame through the Halo series and Masami Ueda is the man behind both the Resident Evil Games & Films. This also stirkes me as it comes across as if there are no such things as 'freelance' composers, people that just drift in and out on films and games composing bits and bobs for them here and there, all composers are dedicated to entire series' and are called back in when sequels to a franchise are on the drawing board. <br /><br />my key sonic moments in gaming history would be a punch up between Resident Evil 2 or Super Metroid. Super Metroid being one of the first full games i played when i was a child, to complete it in under 10 hours was an achievement deemed near impossible and the length of the game meant it had quite the soundtrack to go with it. Also the soundtrack wasnt just some cheesy bit of music that was present on all the other games on its time like super mario, it was one of the first game i played with music that had meaning. each and every theme in the game fitted perfectly. With creepy themes in abandoned areas interrupted by fearful themes when you encounter space pirates. Each zone also had its own theme, electrical fast paced music to complement the zones with lots of action and eerie almost choir like music to accompany unexplored, mysterious zones. this all added to the game and made it on hell of a game for a 8 year old me :D<br /><br />Resident evil on the other hand goes down as one of my key moments aswell because it had music in it that i ended up getting to hear for years after, giving it a more nostalgic value than anything else. The save room song was one used in every res evil game and one i always remember. After half an hour of running around basements getting your arse kicked your low on health and ammo praying to god your not going to die and have to start over from the last save point, then you enter a room preparing for the worst and you hear the save room song. Instantly you know your safe, no ememies, health, ammo and a save point to sort you out on your way. It was almost like heaven. That on top of the fast paced song at the end always accompanied the laboratory tannoy blaring 'self destruct system has been activated, all personnel evacuate emidiately' res evil has a thing for always having that at the end. When you heard that you knew it was time for the final boss, sort of like a psych up song for the final battle. and its why i love it so much<br /><br />To end im gonna answer the question is it true that the Nile Rodgers/Bernard Edwards composition 'Good Times' is the most influential recording made in the 20th Century? Well i did some looking up and found the song on ye olde youtube and at first i thought this was a trick question because in my own personal taste that song isnt very good which leaves me to personally answer the question with no. But at the end of the day music is all about personal taste, some people like it, some people hate it, but getting into the likes of that is a bit deep so ill probably go on about that some other day<br /><br />toodles for nowConnor Chameleonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04586783087704613134noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8617756570969911686.post-16007961453843508082009-03-18T19:19:00.001-07:002009-03-19T12:47:12.252-07:00Gaming EnginesGame engines are vital pieces of software that put realism into a game, real life physics such as weight, density and buoyancy are put into games using engines. Without these we would have tanks acting like they were the weight of a marshmallow or boats being confused an trying to be submarines by sinking the second you get on them. This is done using complex code which us as artists will probably never see or understand, well leave that for the programmers thank you. So in short engines make the game work. It also handles all the main factors of a game such as AI, lighting and animation and makes them work together for the game. The key engine technologies pretty much boil down to the source engine from Valve, The Havok engine and the Unreal engine. Each with their own personal traits and games including Half Life 2, Bioshock, The force unleashed, Gears of war etc etc<br /><br />Gaming engines can be resuable with the like of the source engine being used in half life 2, counterstrike and team fortress 2. Making them middleware. This resuable technology can save a lot of developers time as instead of creating their own engine they can simple buy other companies engines, quite a bonus considering creating an engine can take years and cost from £10,000 to 3 million. Also not having to create your own engine can be seen as a good thing. Not having to worry about making your own engine means less focus on technology and more time spent on gameplay. games such as BioShock proves it works with the game not concentrating on next gen physics and instead just buying one, the unreal engine to be exact, so most of their time can go into making the game being both creatively and beautifully designed.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjRm9MsDx6B2F1ujx6mv9s37uzl_ShkzcEAAxdp-aYoaVHSbVRNYXOre7w7KlWPM1z9PGhCccdRCKBfX0BFA1GRxmmh3peicTTz25QHYNpn_Nngje9JWeLTNHsdWTJYdhAya1YS2OXD1Bw/s1600-h/bioshock.png"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 180px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjRm9MsDx6B2F1ujx6mv9s37uzl_ShkzcEAAxdp-aYoaVHSbVRNYXOre7w7KlWPM1z9PGhCccdRCKBfX0BFA1GRxmmh3peicTTz25QHYNpn_Nngje9JWeLTNHsdWTJYdhAya1YS2OXD1Bw/s320/bioshock.png" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5314977501927491842" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiN0kPBBkjQlHGw04alCI5wQ53BekL7uHvYmnVUBIPSqwN9Q-yrLbIxm1uhYJRr9x6i4kVtxHfwSW0v2hdNSI4nUu-PD9jE2hNudZGrhSzYZqGW1bmNATcNq3ccqsKOOybEoCO4fPWFYrc/s1600-h/bioshock_fairground.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiN0kPBBkjQlHGw04alCI5wQ53BekL7uHvYmnVUBIPSqwN9Q-yrLbIxm1uhYJRr9x6i4kVtxHfwSW0v2hdNSI4nUu-PD9jE2hNudZGrhSzYZqGW1bmNATcNq3ccqsKOOybEoCO4fPWFYrc/s320/bioshock_fairground.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5314977348422809314" /></a><br /><br />Some of the key issues for gaming engines, both old and new are either issues that have cropped up due to the next gen era or ones that have been haunting gameplay since the dawn of time. Technology restraints are a big issue. As next gen engines are becoming more and more photo realistic with dynamic lighting and so on the technology to play them on such as PC'S arent quite being able to keep up with them, resulting in them not being able to support the engines. This is especially the case with PC gaming. When the Crytek engine first made an appearance it was more a showcase piece for the company then a reliable engine as barely any computers were powerful enough to use it. Technology is having a hard time keeping up with one another as yet another issue engines have is the old chestnut of AI, over the years of gaming AI has been constantly critisised in reviews due to a lot of games having a lack of good AI '<span style="font-style:italic;">on a couple of times he just froze up while the enemy turned us both into bullet and hamburger sandwiches</span>' or '<span style="font-style:italic;">he ended up endlessly running around like a sheepdog with a piece of shrapnel stuck in his head</span>' to say a few from zero punctuation reviews. In the world of next gen consoles graphics have reached the point where they are only one step away from looking pretty much like real life but in gaming engines AI hasnt seem to have caught up yet, leaving us with PS1 day cases of NPC's occasionally still being no use nor ornement.Connor Chameleonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04586783087704613134noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8617756570969911686.post-34942499399636932362009-02-04T20:30:00.001-08:002009-02-12T15:31:23.619-08:00Gaming CultureGeeks and Nerds are typically associated with online gaming and making friends with strangers from the internet. Its chliched but in reality everyone does it without even knowing. So this isnt really the way gaming is, Its actually quite a different world<br /><br /> Playing games isnt always the case of lone teenagers in their bedrooms with the door locked, I often enjoy going around to other peoples flats and having a blast at whatever games just so happens to be on. This can range from halo to guitar hero and usually involves either multiplayer or a single player 'passy the parcel' style gameplay where the controller gets passed around to whoever fancies the next go at trying to nail a guitar solo. The night is casual, layed back and contains a light hearted atmosphere where jokes and mocking are usually made about someones futile attempt to pass a level, but this is all in good fun as what goes around comes around and the favour is returned during their next turn.<br /><br /> There's also another type of gameplay that usually gets stereotyped. this is the more serious nature of gaming, LAN gaming. Me and a few other from our course who have probably mentioned the same on their blogs go to gaming society every Tuesday night. This can range from comical peggle races to your more serious team fortress 2 competitions which can get pretty intense. This brings out the competitive side of everyone as on many the occasion you will find yourself defending a flag with no one over your shoulder to support you, so the mocking becomes real as you turn around to throw remarks at your team mates for their absence as back up only to find your brief absence of attention has left you open for a headshot with the resulting death of yourself. Enraging you even more as mocking continues to the blame game of who's fault it was you were left open. This competitiveness can also go a stroke too far, as abuse can get thrown towards the weird looking guy in the corner of the room who's joined your game of left for dead. No harm done until he starts deliberately killing your own team out of what we could only rationalise as boredom because of the time it was taking us to advance through rooms with tactical precision. Friendly fire isn't really the best idea to entertain yourself or to make new friends, but this is the nature our serious gaming<br /><br /> But this although this is an activity which is a considerable part of my lifestyle I wouldn't call it geeky or uncool is to be honest everyone does it, not as precisely as LAN parties but even online socialising and communities such as facebook and MSN can be branded under the same category as online gaming. I mean how many people on your MSN or facebook have you got added but don't know? Bout the same as we do on Xbox live me thinks? yet we get the nerdy reputation for it.<br /><br /> As a leaving present i thought id leave a link, i know its old but if anyone hasn't seen pure pownage its a perfect example of how online gaming can go just a little bit too far...BOOM headshot! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a9qXbgrx9rgConnor Chameleonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04586783087704613134noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8617756570969911686.post-71437157684582003302009-01-23T12:48:00.000-08:002009-01-25T14:11:00.950-08:00An Introduction To The Games Industrylay offs lay offs lay offs...The industry is currently going through recession. So how does the industry, us as aspiring game artists and the economy get effected by this? Well as past seems to put it not very much. gaming has come a long way from a few guys in a bedroom making a game the size of a 500 word e-mail. It has indeed matured and is now up their with film as one of the big dogs, a multi million pound professional industry. Bigger budgets, bigger and more experienced teams. In the modern world this mean jobs, salaries, and mostly profit. But with the recession doesnt this mean we just have more to loose? Apparently not since gaming CEO'S are convinced this is a recession proof industry and this deal shouldnt be too big.<br /><br />But is gaming really recession proof? I think it could be because quite wisely put by NPD analyst Anita Frazier “The video games industry — like some other forms of entertainment — has acted as though they are recession-proof in difficult times” “People still want to be entertained and to enjoy a diversion from their everyday concerns.” During recessions people need an escape from reality, a mere 2 or 3 hours where they cannot be worried about the stresses of real life. Somewhere they can run away to and do as they please. If they want vent rage from a day at the office they can take a car for a joyride and mug and old lady in the process by playing GTA. If they want to feel more accomplished they can nurture and care for a pet dog on the DS.<br /><br />Although their are exceptions to this though where people have apparently done these things in games such and been apparently influenced to do them in real life. Warren Leblanc was an example of this as manhunt allegedly made him commit a real 'manhunt inspired' kill http://uk.gamespot.com/news/6103718.html But us as responsible adults know that isnt possible due a little known thing called the justice system and prison thus why we are dependant on games so much to be able to do it. Kind of a VR therapy.<br /><br />Im not a strong believer of game violence influencing people into re enacting it in real life. Souly because the game is their so you can escape reality and actually do these things so they dont have to be acted out in the real world with catastrophic consequences, they suppress, not agrovate. Society has tried this one many times in the past like how they blamed the columbine shooting on trenchcoat mafia's and Marylin Manson Lyrics (if you dont know about the columbine shootings read up, its another insight into teenagers apparently being influenced by violence in todays society) http://www.slate.com/id/2099203/ But i say humbug to this. Games are an escape from the reality which can influence this, they do not cause this.<br /><br />But never the less professional artists <span style="font-style:italic;">are</span> being layed off due to cost cutting measures. And although we shed a tear for them now, we have to wonder how does this affect both the future of gaming, and us as aspiring artists to be? Well i think it means that with the competitive nature of the industry we are now not only up against everyone including rival universities, American graduates and even our own classmates but now professional, more experienced and reliable artists. and trust me 180 professionals against us is stacking the chips up. Im just glad i have 2 years left before im in that position.<br />Plus those that are left must help but think they can see their jobs and themelves as expendable, leaving a lot of job security issues. Heres to us, because we got a lot ahead of us with this on our hands.Connor Chameleonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04586783087704613134noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8617756570969911686.post-77117200609979746492009-01-09T12:31:00.000-08:002009-01-12T15:57:33.821-08:00Creativity<span style=";font-family:arial;font-size:100%;" > Creativity has some element in everything around us.
