Passion Project 2024

PASSION PROJECT

                                                                              WHAT IS OUR PROJECT

                      Our project is a 3D map design inspired by a video game called Deepwoken. For this project, we chose to recreate a specific location from the game known as the City of the Drowned. This area stood out to us because of its dark, mysterious atmosphere and unique architecture. We thought it would be a great challenge and a fun opportunity to practice our 3D modelling skills by modelling and printing them out.                                                                                                                                                                                                                       BUILDING PROCESS/CHALLENGES

            We took our time modelling the buildings and terrain from the game. Starting with simple shapes in Tinkercad, we slowly built up the details to match the original structures found in the City of the Drowned. This included shaping the ground, adding platforms, walls, and other features seen in the game. We worked step by step, using our screenshots as guides to make sure everything looked as close to the original as possible. We faced a few challenges while working on this project. One of the main problems was getting the sizes of the models right. Sometimes, the buildings we created in Tinkercad were either too big or too small compared to each other, which made the map look unrealistic. Another issue was making the buildings look accurate. Even though we used screenshots from the game, some of our models ended up looking different from the original structures in the game. This happened because it was hard to match every small detail or angle exactly, especially with limited views and the tools we had. 

END RESUL 

       In the end, everything in our project ended up great. Something i learned during this project was skills like, modelling for buildings, making views (bird eye view etc). For the next passion project, i want to build a working AI that reacts to people by responding with words or by responding with a model of something.
