  • Folklore of The
    1 Cailleach – old woman Altough the Cailleach lives in various mountain homes every year she comes to the Coire Bhreacain (Cauldren of the Plaid) to wash her massive yellow plaid in the swirling waters in order to summon the cold winds as Scotia’s Winter goddess. During archeological excavations in 1880 a figure of an ancient goddess was discovered in the peat bogs of Scotland, a figure who 2,500 years ago stood near the shore of Loch Leven as a symbol of an ancient religion or deity that has now been lost to time. Today she is known as the Ballachulish Woman & is a figure who stands at almost five feet tall & carved from a single piece of alder wood, her eyes are two quartz pebbles which even today, have a remarkable ability to draw the attention to the face of this mysterious relic. Although the identity of the Ballachulish Woman still remains a mystery many have speculated as to who this figure represented, there are some who believe that she is a depiction of a deity known as the Cailleach Bheithir, an ancient goddess of winds & 2 storms, also known as the Winter Hag, who had associations with a nearby mountain called Beinn a’Bheithir. (Hill of the thunderbolt) Another theory is that she could represent a goddess of the straits, this is due to the figures location near the straits where Loch Levan meets the sea, & was a deity that prehistoric travellers would make offerings too in an attempt to secure their safety while travelling dangerous waters.

  • All but War Is Simulation: the Military Entertainment Complex
    1 THEATERS OF WAR: THE MILITARY-ENTERTAINMENT COMPLEX Tim Lenoir and Henry Lowood Stanford University To appear in Jan Lazardzig, Helmar Schramm, Ludger Schwarte, eds., Kunstkammer, Laboratorium, Bühne--Schauplätze des Wissens im 17. Jahrhundert/ Collection, Laboratory, Theater, Berlin; Walter de Gruyter Publishers, 2003 in both German and in English War games are simulations combining game, experiment and performance. The U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) has been the primary proponent of war game design since the 1950s. Yet, commercial game designers produced many of the ideas shaping the design of military simulations, both before and after the advent of computer-based games. By the 1980s, the seeds of a deeper collaboration among military, commercial designers, the entertainment industry, and academic researchers in the development of high-end computer simulations for military training had been planted. They built “distributed interactive simulations” (DIS) such as SIMNET that created virtual theaters of war by linking participants interacting with distributed software or hardware simulators in real time. The simulators themselves presented synthetic environments—virtual worlds—by utilizing advances in computer graphics and virtual reality research. With the rapid development of DIS technology during the 1990s, content and compelling story development became increasingly important. The necessity of realistic scenarios and backstory in military simulations led designers to build databases of historical, geographic and physical data, reconsider the role of synthetic agents in their simulations and consult with game design and entertainment talents for the latest word on narrative and performance. Even when this has not been the intention of their designers and sponsors, military simulations have been deeply embedded in commercial forms of entertainment, for example, by providing content and technology deployed in computer and video games.

  • The Video Game Asset Pipeline a Pattern Approach to Visualization
    The Video Game Asset Pipeline A Pattern Approach to Visualization James Lear Student ID: 91002002 [email protected] The University of the West of England Faculty of Environment and Technology This thesis is submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy March 2021 Director of Studies Supervisor Professor Richard McClatchey Dr Simon Scarle [email protected] [email protected] a Abstract Video games consist of virtual worlds modelled as an approximation of either a real or imaginary environment. The amount of content required to populate the environments for Triple-A (AAA) video games doubles every few years to satisfy the expectations of the end-users. For this reason, the art and design discipline now constitute the maJority of those employed in a video game studio. The artists use Digital Content Creation (DCC) tools to design and create their content; tools not originally designed for video game asset creation. Ultimately the artists require to preview their content in the form of source assets in the runtime environment, the game engine, to ensure they provide an accurate rendering of their original vision. However, there exists a barrier to achieve this workflow; the original source assets are persisted in a proprietary format, information rich to handle future edits, and the final runtime environment requires the assets to be lightweight ready for fast and efficient loading into the game engine. The video game industry has solved this problem by introducing a fast and efficient workflow known as the asset pipeline. The asset pipeline is recognized within video games technology as a general reusable solution to the common problem of converting source assets into their final runtime form as expected by the runtime game engine.

When I arrived at our Ohio office on a recent visit, I saw 8 1/2" x 11" cover images for all 180 of our fall titles displayed on the walls. Wow! I had a hard time concentrating on saying my hellos. Next, I ducked into the warehouse. The books were stacked ready for shipping in aisle after aisle, and the warehouse staff was busy packing Susan Marston, JLG Editorial Director boxes and wrapping towers of them in plastic. It was thrilling to see the work we do at our desks in New York transformed into something so concrete. Thanks to those hardworking warehouse folks, you have now received some of those 180 titles as well as this first issue of our second year (!) of JLG Monthly. In response to member feedback, we’ve streamlined the components of each page—from the summaries and reviews to the curriculum indications—and added companion titles. I’d like to direct your attention to a few of the outstanding titles, but which should those be? Should I discuss the seasonally appropriate and hunger-inducing Applesauce Season or the amazing sequels to Al Capone Does My Shirts, The Hunger Games, and The Knife of Never Letting Go? Should I describe The 3-2-3 Detective Agency in The Disappearance of Dave Warthog in the new elementary graphic novel level (GE) or The Story of Snow in the new elementary science level (SCE)? It’s too hard to decide! I think I’ll just let you peruse and linger as you wish.
