PROFESSIONAL PROJECTS
SELF-DEVELOPED GAMES
I've completed my Master's degree in Game and Media Technology. During this study, I've done courses in various disciplines, just to mention a few i.e. Game Programming in C++, Game Design, Animation, 3D Modelling, Graphics. Please see a brief description on my academic projects below.
Animation
I've made this simple animation as part of my Animation course using Autodesk Maya. All letters of my surname had to be included in the animation using as many animation techniques as possible.
This group project was part of my Animation course as well. We've captured MOCAP data using the University lab, and placed them on characters using Motion Builder. In the end, we put together all the anims, and made a trailer out of it.
Java Programming
My Master's thesis was on the topic of Emotions in Games. I investigated how emotions could be generated in games using psychological models. In the practical part of my thesis, I've implemented a Battleship game using Java and connected it to virtual characters for visual representations of my work.
Android Programming
As part of my experimentation project at University, we researched mobile interfaces for video browsing. We investigated how thumbnail number, size, and motion influence the performance of humans in common recognition tasks. This work has done for Android phones, using JAVA.
