3D character model: Mei (My Neighbour Totoro)

Mei from My Neighbour Totoro I 3D modeled the character Mei from the Ghibli film My Neighbour Totoro for my Design Studio 2 class. There are some stylistic differences due to bringing a 2D character into 3D form. I started by modeling the head and face in Sculptris, then I brought the .obj into Autodesk Maya for quad-drawing and also to model the body. The pigtails were also sculpted in Sculptris and quad-drawn in Maya as well, because they were more organic shapes. The materials were created in Adobe Photoshop with snapshots of the organized UV map. I tried to keep the wireframe clean as our next assignment was to rig the 3D character model.

Project Azamusk Game

Figure 1. Some screenshots from the game For the IMD Capstone Project 2021, I worked with a team of six to design and develop a 3D sci-fi puzzle game in Unity. This project took 8 months from initial conception to final implementation. Our game is available for play in browser via WebGL on itch.io or for Windows PC via download. More information on Project Azamusk can be found at: https://tinyurl.com/projectAzamusk My main roles and contributions included: Team lead UI/UX design Concept art 2D art (branding and all assets) Story (writing and storyboarding) Videos (cutscenes, trailers, motion graphic animations, sound, editing, etc.) I developed the following style guide for the Azamusk Corporation, which is the primary focus of the game.

Style guide created by me I designed the UI/UX inspired by this same clean futuristic aesthetic using flat icons also created by myself. The design went through sever...

Project Azamusk: User Testing

This post outlines the testing process for Project Azamusk , my senior capstone project completed in April 2021. Throughout the course of 8 months, the team scheduled and conducted the following test plans around the course deliverable deadlines (Alpha, Beta, Gamma, and Final). Note: September was spent on planning the project, managing scope, and creating a production plan. Stage 1: Prototyping (October - December) Mechanics prototypes Developed in Unity Low-fidelity internal testing of how important mechanics would function, such as how an object can be moved around on a grid Stage 2: Preliminary User Testing (January - February) Controls prototype ( Alpha ) Developed in Unity, tested in browser via itch.io for convenience Low-fidelity external testing of camera view and object movements Puzzle design prototype 3D mockups created in Maya Low-fidelity external testing of key game concept and puzzle progression User interface ( Beta ) Developed in Adobe XD, tested in browser Mediu...
