  • ABSTRACT LOHMEYER, EDWIN LLOYD. Unstable Aesthetics
    ABSTRACT LOHMEYER, EDWIN LLOYD. Unstable Aesthetics: The Game Engine and Art Modifications (Under the direction of Dr. Andrew Johnston). This dissertation examines episodes in the history of video game modding between 1995 and 2010, situated around the introduction of the game engine as a software framework for developing three-dimensional gamespaces. These modifications made to existing software and hardware were an aesthetic practice used by programmers and artists to explore the relationship between abstraction, the materiality of game systems, and our phenomenal engagement with digital media. The contemporary artists that I highlight—JODI, Cory Arcangel, Orhan Kipcak, Julian Oliver, and Tom Betts—gravitated toward modding because it allowed them to unveil the technical processes of the engine underneath layers of the game’s familiar interface, in turn, recalibrating conventional play into sensual experiences of difference, uncertainty, and the new. From an engagement with abstract forms, they employed modding techniques to articulate new modes of aesthetic participation through an affective encounter with altered game systems. Furthermore, they used abstraction, the very strangeness of the mod’s formal elements, to reveal our habitual interactions with video games by destabilizing conventional gamespaces through sensory modalities of apperception and proprioception. In considering the imbrication of technics and aesthetics in game engines, this work aims to resituate modding practices within a dynamic and more inclusive understanding

  • WOKSEL Istnieje Inne Podejście Do Grafiki Komputerowej, Jaką Jest Grafika Złożona Z Trójwymiarowych Pikseli, Czyli Wokseli
    WOKSEL Istnieje inne podejście do grafiki komputerowej, jaką jest grafika złożona z trójwymiarowych pikseli, czyli wokseli. Ostatnimi laty przeżywała ona renesans dzięki grom takim jak Minecraft, które korzystały z kanciastej stylistyki, upraszczając ją. Czym jest woksel? Woksel (czyli wolumetryczny element obrazu) to trójwymiarowy piksel, który istnieje w odniesieniu do innych i który może mieć reprezentację zarówno w postaci sześcianów jak i również zmienioną na wielokąty. • Voxel to trójwymiarowy piksel • Model objętościowy wiernie oddający strukturę wewnętrzną i kształt zewnętrzny • Wielkie ilości danych • Najdokładniejsze modele Model wykonany z wokseli i wyrenderowany za pomocą sześcianów w programie MagicaVoxel Zaletami tego podejścia do danych graficznych jest między innymi pełna możliwość edycji otoczenia, dokładne odwzorowanie map wysokości oraz brak pewnych problemów, które posiadają obiekty zbudowane na podstawie polygonów (obiekty zbudowane z polygonów są puste w środku). Wadami tego systemu graficznego jest specyficzny wygląd, problematyczna animacja (często wymagająca konwersji modeli złożonych z wokseli na obiekty polygonowe) oraz wysokie zapotrzebowanie na pamięć i moc obliczeniową (przy dużej szczegółowości). Historia wokseli. Jednymi z pierwszymi gier, które używały modeli złożonych z trójwymiarowych pikseli były gry oparte na silniku Kena Silvermana, czyli Build Engine. Np. takie tytuły jak Shadow Warrior oraz Blood. Blood, Monolith Productions – 1997. Build Engine jednak nie był stricte silnikiem wokselowym (był to silnik używający metody ray castingu). Używał jedynie modeli opartych na wokselach. Jednak kolejne aplikacje, które stworzył Ken Silverman, za pośrednictwem swoich kolejnych silników graficznych, były już w pełni złożone z wokseli. Np.: Voxelstein, która pozwała na ograniczoną (przez twórcę gry), dokładną destrukcję otoczenia (woksel po wokselu) z ograniczonym silnikiem fizycznym, oraz o Ace of Spades, która wykorzystywała destrukcję otoczenia w mechanice rozgrywki wieloosobowej.
