چکیده

This paper examines the usability of Blender and 3D Studio Max for a first-time user. Blender and 3D Studio Max are 3-dimensional (3-D) object modeling programs that are frequently used for modeling game objects. Both tools provide a graphical interface for model creation. Most game developers prefer a visual approach to design, because building graphics using a programming language and a graphics library, such as C++ with OpenGL is more time consuming, and requires a great deal of technical expertise. Development of a chess-based roleplaying game (RPG) is used to compare the overall usability, texture application, model aesthetics, and usefulness as a game design tool for these two products. This case-study was executed by building game objects in both tools and comparing the user experience, as well as the finished products.

AN Improved UTD Based Model For The Multiple Building Diffraction Of Plane Waves In Urban Environments By Using Higher Order Diffraction Coeficients

This paper describes an improved model for multiple building diffraction modeling based on the uniform theory of diffraction (UTD). A well-known problem in conventional uniform theory of diffraction (CUTD) is multiple-edge transition zone diffraction. Here, higher order diffracted fields are used in order to improve the result; hence, we use higher order diffraction coefficients to improve a hy...

Market power influential approach using game theory in a two competing supply chains with multi-echelons under centralized/decentralized environments

This paper is considering the competition between two multi-echelon supply-chains on price and service under balance and imbalance of market power between the chains which are analyzing through Nash and Stackelberg game approach. The problem is categorized as the centralized or decentralized structure of each chain, which means a few different possible scenarios are developing based on the Nash...
