Hello everyone, my name is Ian Scott and I am a Senior majoring in Robotics Engineering and minoring in IMGD. Art, particularly 3D art was a relatively new discovery of mine but something that has drastically changed the path I plan on taking in life. At the start of the COVID pandemic, I was home and trying to find miniatures to 3D print for a game of dungeons and dragons but couldn’t find anything that I liked. I figured that I could probably learn how to make something passible and thus started the rabbit hole of learning the various aspects of 3D art. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Like mentioned above, aside from painting miniatures for various games I had never done a ton of art prior to COVID-19. However, I have seriously fallen in love with it and am now very passionate about 3D modelling (particularly character modelling), procedural content generation, and creating tools to help me create assets easier. During this course I want to further pursue these passions and work on refining my own content creation process. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I don’t really have a ton of experience creating games. This A term I took IMGD 1001 and developed a visual novel. In addition, I did the IDGA game jam this A term but those were really the first games I ever contributed to. While I love playing games, I find myself more drawn to creating assets for film due to the additional visual fidelity you are allowed (also I care more about creating compelling visual experiences rather than interesting gameplay). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

For most of my life growing up I was a classical musician playing the viola but I dropped that before college started. I also have painted miniatures since late high school but those are most of the other arts I have done. I have always been more of a programmer and engineer. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I very recently watched the new Dune movie (an adaptation of a book I love) and I was blown away by the visuals. My guess is that movie will inspire the work I do this term during this class. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I look forward to working with everyone and seeing the work everyone produces!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Final image is made over 1 weekend for the IGDA game jam. Note, Julian Herman modelled a portion of the original props for this piece and did the concept art.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
