Despite having to stay at home for the last year of by far my best years in life due to pandemic, it is because of Him that I could reach this far. I would also like to express my gratitude to my thesis advisor, Drs. Hirmawan Wijanarka M.Hum. for his patience and assistance throughout the process of creating this thesis. Thank you very much, Sir. I could not forget my co- advisor as well, Elisabeth Oseanita Pukan. S.S., M.A., for the insight and guidance that she has given to me. Thank you very much, Ma’am. My gratitude also goes to both of my parents and my sister for supporting me. If it were not for them, I would not have been here in this amazing university to complete my education, let alone to finish my thesis. Thank you, you three. Lastly, I must not forget my friends to whom I have been grateful for, too. Deva, Dea, Kat, Ninja, Sasha, Vinska, Ryan, Vinsen, Ilham, and others who have been there that I cannot mention one by one. Being friends with all of you has been both a pleasure and the best thing to ever happen in my life. I wanted to say this a bit earlier, but never found the opportunity. Thank you for the support and for everything else.

Metropolia University of Applied Sciences Master of Engineering Information Technology Master’s Thesis 7 July 2020 PREFACE I have a dream that I can export all art asset for a game with single button press. I have tried to achieve that a couple times already and never fully accomplished in this. This time I was even more committed to this goal than ever before. This time I was deter- mined to make the life of artists easier and do my very best. Priorities tend to change when a system is 70% done. Finding time to do the extra mile is difficult no matter how determined you are. Well to be brutally honest, still did not get the job 100% done, but I got closer than ever before! I am truly honoured for all the help what other technical artists and programmers gave me while writing this thesis. I especially want to thank David Rhodes, who is a long- time friend and colleague, for his endless support. Thank you Jukka Larja and Kimmo Ala-Ojala for eye opening discussions. I would also like to thank my wife and daughter for giving me the time to write this thesis.

  • Paradigm Shift: How the Evolution of Two Generations of Home
    PARADIGM SHIFT: HOW THE EVOLUTION OF TWO GENERATIONS OF HOME CONSOLES, ARCADES, AND COMPUTERS INFLUENCED AMERICAN CULTURE, 1985-1995 By Jason Terence Wiley A thesis submitted to the Graduate Faculty in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF ARTS IN HISTORY University of Central Oklahoma Spring, 2016 iii Abstract Author: Jason Terence Wiley Thesis Chair: Dr. Patricia Loughlin Title of Thesis: Paradigm Shift: How the Evolution of Two Generations of Home Consoles, Arcades, and Computers Influenced American Culture, 1985-1995 Abstract: As of 2016, unlike many popular media forms found here in the United States, video games possess a unique influence, one that gained its own a large widespread appeal, but also its own distinct cultural identity created by millions of fans both here stateside and across the planet. Yet, despite its significant contributions, outside of the gaming’s arcade golden age of the early 1980s, the history of gaming post Atari shock goes rather unrepresented as many historians simply refuse to discuss the topic for trivial reasons thus leaving a rather noticeable gap within the overall history. One such important aspect not covered by the majority of the scholarship and the primary focus of thesis argues that the history of early modern video games in the North American market did not originate during the age of Atari in the 1970s and early 1980s. Instead, the real genesis of today’s market and popular gaming culture began with the creation and establishment of the third and fourth generation of video games, which firmly solidified gaming as both a multi-billion dollar industry and as an accepted form of entertainment in the United States.

    Playing Nature: The Virtual Ecology of Game Environments by Alenda Y. Chang A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Rhetoric and the Designated Emphasis in New Media and the Designated Emphasis in Film Studies in the Graduate Division of the University of California, Berkeley Committee in charge: Professor David Bates, Chair Professor Charis Thompson Professor Trinh T. Minh-ha Professor Gail De Kosnik Spring 2013 Abstract Playing Nature: The Virtual Ecology of Game Environments by Alenda Y. Chang Doctor of Philosophy in Rhetoric Designated Emphasis in New Media Designated Emphasis in Film Studies University of California, Berkeley Professor David Bates, Chair Playing Nature proposes new methods and objects for environmental inquiry through ecologically minded engagement with the imaginative worlds of contemporary gaming. This work recognizes that though some of the most sophisticated scholarship on natural representation has evolved within literary environmental criticism, as a humanistic field steeped in Romanticism, ecocriticism has tended to exclude designed landscapes and modes of mediated interaction perceived as detracting from direct experience of the natural world. At the same time, new media theorists and practitioners have generally overlooked the ways in which emerging technologies are implicated in and by natural systems. Most mainstream games, for instance, offer game environments as simplistic vehicles for graphical spectacle or extractive resource management. Rather than perpetuate the popular notion that the natural and the digital are realms inherently inimical to each other, Playing Nature contends that our experience of the natural world is not only increasingly mediated by digital technology, but also that our interactions with these technomediated natures inevitably shape our conceptions of individual and collective agency in relation to our environment.

This will be done in my acknowledgements and unfortunately, it may not be enough to express the amount of gratitude I have for all the encouragement, guidance and help received. Firstly, Rudolf Arnheim’s literature inspired the inclusion of the topic of visual perception within this research on visual game world. He was an exceptional psychologist, theorist and writer, who created Art and Visual Perception and The Power of the Center. It is an honour to study and apply his perceptual theories into the medium of video games. Secondly, I would like to thank the Professor and Chair, Vibeke Sorenson, for this wonderful opportunity to conduct a research within the School of Art, Design, and Media.

By employing shading models that adhere to physical principles, one can readily create high quality, realistic materials that maintain their appearance under a variety of lighting environments. In contrast, traditional ad hoc models required extensive tweaking to achieve comparable results — due to less intuitive behavior or unnecessary complexity — and were liable to break under dierent illumination. Consequently, physically based models have become widely adopted in lm and game production, particularly as they are oen no more dicult to implement or evaluate.
