Destiny 2 - 373 Sprint 3

My name is Kyle Ramser, and I am currently working with my group to recreate the Tower, a social space from Destiny 2. During our third sprint, I worked on a few more models and UVs, as well as starting to texture. I mainly finished a few of the interactable items within our scene, which will help my team to add scripts that can change the state of the objects.

The main pieces that I worked on were the computer and the ghost, as well as many UVs and a texture for the modular metal floor. The most difficult of these cards was modeling the Ghost, as it gave me many issues while modeling, and was more difficult than normal to UV. In the end, though, I believe it turned out quite well and am happy with its look. I also began working on the pistol, as this is going to take the longest amount of time by far compared to the other models I have done for the project.

Next project, I am planning on finishing up the model of the gun, and finishing a lot of the textures for the modular pieces of the project. This way, a lot of the scene can be filled up by the completed modular pieces, and we will get a better visual of what the final product will look like. I am very happy with my work, as well as my team’s, and I am very excited to see what the final product will look like.

This can be easily used to influence choices from our group, as we can see what forms of media are working, as well as what forms are not working anymore.

KickBack - Sprint Review 1

KickBack - Sprint Review 1 My name is Kyle Ramser, and I am currently working as a 3D artist on the game KickBack. We just finished up our first sprint, which means I was able to finish some of the early models to be implemented into the game. So far, this production has been one of the most interesting for me personally, and the team I am working with is a bit larger than I am used to. The art style for this game is low-poly models with a very simplistic texture style, reminiscent of something like Risk of Rain 2 or Solar Ash. I have never worked on a project with this type of style before, so it has been a learning curve for me, and I am still trying to find helpful information for texturing in these kinds of games. So far, I think the models have turned out quite well, and I am definitely getting the hang of the art style as it has become more natural for me to create these lower-poly models. As for the work I have completed this sprint, like I said before, I completed several model...

The Future of the Music Industry

The Music Industry - The Future of Listening I truly believe that the entirety of music will be switching to streaming. With how quickly streaming has advanced, and how much music is now streamed compared to other sources, I believe that eventually everyone will be transferring to streaming for its ease of access and its improving audio quality. Even now, according to the IFPI Global Music Report, 69 percent of music listeners are using streaming services, which I think will only grow with time. Additionally, I believe that it is possible that at some point in the somewhat near future, cars will remove both AM and FM radio, and will adopt an Apple play style smart screen for all streaming. This is obviously not a guarantee as people have been upset at the removal of AM radio in cars, but with how popular and used music streaming has been, I feel as though Spotify, Apple Music, and other streaming software will be built into cars. With how easy to use Apple and Android Car Play are, I f...
