What Is Lathe? Lathe creates a 3D object by rotating a shape or NURBS curve about an axis. For example, say if I used the line tool, to create a 2D version of half of a wine glass. First, though, you need to make sure that you are doing all of this in the front viewport in the scene. After I have made half of the wine glass, I will convert my line into an editable spline. Then choose the lathe modifier and it will rotate my shape around the y-axis and create the whole 3D wine glass object. The Lathe modifier so far is my favorite modifier. A Romantic Evening While using nothing but the Lathe modifier. I made a whole romantic dinner set, including, 2 candlesticks with candles in each, a plate, a salad bowl, a wine glass, a water glass, a coffee cup and saucer, fork, spoon, knife, napkin, and a table. Some of the most difficult things that I had problems with was making the coffee cup and saucer. I couldn't find a way to make a hole in the handle part of the coffee cup. Then, by the time some of my classmates found a way to do it, there wasn't enough time for me to finish the model. Except for that, creating the romantic scene was very interesting and a great experience for me. Crazy TutorialsHere are some tutorials that will fascinate you more with working with the Lathe modifier. www.youtube.com/watch?v=MtCzGhslj1g www.youtube.com/watch?v=3njWOlermvI Summary

Is it Interesting? The new Spider-Man game that was released for the PlayStation 4 is a must-have. I don't have the game myself, but I have watched multiple gameplay walkthrough's on YouTube and live streams on Twitch. "I was left delighted at nearly every step of its 15-hour adventure thanks to a surprisingly deep tale that mines the plights of both Spider-Man and Peter Parker to great emotional success"(IGN). The gameplay is very mind-blowing and spectacular, it's almost hard to believe that you can do some of these things in a video game. Unlocking suits, in my opinion, is one the most exciting feature in the game. Gameplay From what I've seen the combat controls in Spider-Man, are way more complex than what you've might have seen in past Spider-Man games. Such as gadgets. There's one gadget called a "web bomb". The web bomb sticks to an enemy after you shoot it out of one of your web shooters. There are much other fun and new combat controls. "His animations are so detailed that no matter the obstacle, I got the sense that I could truly do whatever a Spider-Man could."(IGN). My feature in the game that you can do, is web swings. Swinging through New York makes you feel like the comic has come to life. Web swinging is a very fast, fun and exciting way to transport through New York. "Insomniac has found web-spun gold with Spider-Man’s swinging mechanic, enhancing it with additional moves like a focal point web zip that allowed me to turn any ledge, beam, or satellite tower into a jumping off point to continue my non-stop movement."(IGN)". Also, you get to play as other, character's in the game such as Miles Morales and Mary Jane. Missions/Story Line "At first, I found myself pretty much just punching and dodging, occasionally webbing up a foe so I could focus on a more powerful baddie. But as I unlocked more skills from Spider-Man’s skill trees and gadgets, combat became an improvisational delight."(IGN). The main mission deals with Peter Parker battling these classic foes on the side, but he mainly worries about these masked foes. Conclusion Like I said before, Spider-Man is a must-have game, if it isn't on your wish-list, put it on there. It is always full of action and fun but at the same time controversy. Also if you're confused this Spider-Man game isn't a sequel based on any of the past Spider-Man games. "I wanted Marvel’s Spider-Man on PS4 to make me feel like Spider-Man: To sail between the high rises of New York City, to nimbly web up hordes of enemies, and tussle with familiar, animal-themed villains. Insomniac Games’ first foray into the world of Marvel handily delivers on all of that."(IGN). I hope that this game review gave you the influence on checking out the game itself and you buying it. SourcesThe Job I WantI saw a job posting for a Temporary Level Designer, earlier this week on Gamasutra. The company who put out the job posting was Deep Silver Volition. The company has made games such as Agents Of Mayhem, Saints Row, Red Faction, and Descent/Free space series. I was looking at the qualifications needed in order to get the job. A qualification that I saw was that 3D modeling is a plus. I have two years of experience 3D modeling in 3Ds Max. Another one of the qualifications was to have the ability to think creatively and analytically. I really like to think outside of the box and try to incorporate things into my design that many other people don’t try to do. In my eyes I see that I am kind of qualified for the job. Although in some qualifications, I don't meet the expectations. Such as a post high school education in a game development relevant discipline; emphasis on level design preferred. ResponsibilitiesAlso in the job posting there are responsibilities that I'll be assigned with if I get the job. One of the responsibilities that I’ll be assigned with assists with designing, creating, implementing, and iterating on level spaces for fun and compelling game play. This task will not be a challenge for me since I have experience in making levels in a game. It also says on the job posting that I may be tasked with other duties. In my portfolio, you will see that some of my artwork, are good images for loading screens. Another responsibility was to assist with designing, creating, implementing, and iterating on level spaces for fun and compelling game play. I can easily handle that task. Summary
The Game ItselfFortnite has two sections or areas to the game. The two are "Save The World" and "Battle Royale". I will be discussing the battle royale part of the game. Since I myself think it's far more interesting. Fortnite battle royale is free to play and is a multiplayer game. I choose this game to review because, it brings people from different ages and cultures to play with each other . Also instead of the other typical battle royale games like, Player Unknown's Battlegrounds, or H1Z1. Fortnite has a very unique play asset that sets it aside from those battle royale games. How It Is Played Here is the general overview to playing the game. Up to 100 players are dropped onto a large but constantly shrinking map with the goal of gathering weapons and gear to become the last person or team left standing (IGN). The special thing that sets Fortnite aside from other battle royale games is the building feature. So say if your in a solo match and you get into a gunfight. Instead of hiding behind a tree to reload. You can literally make a wall from one of the three materials(wood,stone, and metal). Or if you decide to take the high ground, you can build a ramp leading up to a mountain or hill top. Battle Royale is more about building than it is about shooting (IGN). There are many things that you can build in Fortnite which really made the game very popular all around the world. Why is It Addicting"Matches on Fortnite's crowded cartoon island play out with more surprise, variety, and laughs than any other battle royale game, though its klutzy fort-building system and the steadily growing library of gadgets and guns can demoralize newcomers before they understand what they've been gifted", (PC Gamer). I find Fortnite very fun along with many other people around the world. I feel that Fortnites cartoony vibe brings a lot of attention to it. One day, I sat my mom down to watch me play Fortnite and she said herself, "All this time I been seeing you play this game I would've never thought it involved killing people". And that's why many parents let their children play this game because it's very censored and king of funny when you get to play it."It’s a game that does have guns and grenades etc but done in a very cartoonish style with no blood or gore. Building and strategy elements are great and bottom line it’s fun and funny. Just make sure to turn off chat and it’s perfect"(commonsense media). Last Words Some last things I want to say. Whenever you have a moment, when you feel bored and have nothing to do. Please download Fortnite Battle Royale, It is available on PC/Mac, Xbox, PlayStation, and iOS. I really do encourage you to have fun and play Fortnite. SourcesThis Was A Fun ProcessWhile making this game, I found the process very interesting. In making this different version of "Flappy Bird", in the first few minutes of making the game. I had found a special interest in the game itself. The process of making this game was more exciting than the 2D UFO game I made. Why Is It So Interesting?My game is interesting to me because, of the additional obstacle I added to the gameplay. The extra obstacle I made was a flashlight. The gameobject is supposed to be avoided by the player so that the bird will not die. If the gameobject is flown into, the then the bird will die. Also for a design change ine the game, I added a sun to the background of the game. So that it has no effect on the players movement. Some Facts On Flappy Bird At its peak, it was generating about $50,000 per day. It was run by one man, Dong Nguyen, an indie game developer in Vietnam. Nguyen suddenly announced that he'd be shutting the game down. It's no longer available for download in the App or Google Play Store.
