Visionaire: Integration of 3D Characters into a 2D Adventure Engine
نویسنده
چکیده
Although techniques of computer graphics have evolved a lot during the last years, there are still genres of computer games that rely on 2D graphics, especially point-and-click adventures. Still, 3D elements can significantly improve appearance and development of 2D adventures. This work focuses on the integration of 3D characters into 2D environments as well as techniques of computer graphics that are of particular importance for point-and-click adventures. Common methods are discussed and evaluated with the aid of an implementation of 3D character support in the 2D adventure game editor Visionaire Studio [Visionaire Studio 2010]. This includes the import and rendering of animated Collada files, simple shadows, and toon shading, with a strong focus on usability and performance.

Integration of a Physics Engine into an Adventure Game Platform
This paper presents the challenges and possibilities that arise from the integration of a 2D physics engine into an adventure game platform (i.e. engine and editor). This integration allows the use of a complex physics model within a narrative environment, thus increasing expressiveness and educational potential (through re-usability and increased challenge). In this work eAdventure is used as ...
متن کاملA Question of Character: Rules to Play by
Almost every type of computer game has some sort of AI scripting language which enables level designers to script a story arc for a mission or game level and to provide personalities and individual responses to different characters in a game. And whether the "characters" in a game are 3D polygonal virtual actors the player explicitly interacts with or virtual generals who direct massive armies ...

Introduction: Breast conserving radiotherapy is one of the most common procedures performed in any radiation oncology department. A tangential parallel-opposed pair is usually used for this purpose. This technique is performed using 2D or 3D treatment planning systems. The aim of this study was to compare 2D treatment planning with 3D treatment planning in tangential irradiation in breast conse...
متن کاملIntegration of exhaust manifold with engine cylinder head towards size and weight reduction
In this research, a new exhaust manifold and its cooling jackets is first designed for the integrated exhaust manifold into cylinder head (IEMCH) for a turbocharged engine. Then, the gas exchange and flow analysis is carried out numerically to evaluate the proper conditions for the exhaust gas and the coolant stream respectively. Finally, the entire engine parts are thermally analyzed to assure...
