Pixel art is created pixel by pixel, making it time-consuming but allowing for high quality works. Concept art illustrates visual ideas to show what the final product will look like. Texture art conveys what surfaces may feel like to make the work more realistic. Background graphics set the environment for game levels or add depth to interfaces. Print media art packages the game and merchandise like posters to effectively promote titles.Artistic styles in computer games

This document discusses different graphical styles used in video games including photorealistic, cel shaded, and exaggerated styles. It focuses on photorealism and cel shading, explaining that photorealism aims to make games look as realistic as possible by including details like scars, blood, and hair. Cel shading, on the other hand, makes 3D models look like hand drawn artwork to give games like Mario, Zelda, and Dragon Ball Z a stylized, non-realistic look. The document provides examples of games using each style and notes that while photorealism enhances realism, it requires more disk space.Artistic Styles used in Computer Games

The document discusses different art styles used in video games, including photorealism, cel shading, stylized, abstract, and exaggerated styles. Photorealism aims to make games look as realistic as possible, but may limit creativity. Cel shading uses flat colors instead of smooth lighting to create a distinctive look. Stylized and exaggerated styles cartoonize proportions while keeping some realism. Abstract art employs shapes and colors without realistic resemblance. Each style suits different genres and gameplay.Artistic styles in computer games

This document discusses different types of computer game graphics, including pixel art, concept art, texture art, background graphics, and print media art. Pixel art uses raster graphics to edit images at the pixel level and was commonly used in older and limited games. Concept art conveys visual designs before a product is finalized. Texture art simulates or creates actual surface textures. Background graphics integrate sprites, or 2D images, into larger game scenes. Print media art, like box covers and packaging, aims to attract customers through eye-catching and concept artwork related to the game.Graphic investigation

Interactive media graphics use elements like rollover buttons, animations and sound to make websites and programs more visually engaging and intuitive to use. These techniques draw attention to important information and functions. For example, websites often use rollover buttons and animated GIFs to guide users. Image resolution ensures digital images display properly at different sizes while maintaining quality. More pixels in an image result in higher quality. Picture elements, or pixels, make up digital images.Artistic styles

There are several artistic styles used in video games:
Photorealism uses cameras and photos to create highly detailed paintings that look like photographs. Cel shading makes games look hand drawn by adding thick outlines. Abstraction uses simple shapes like cubes to represent characters, as seen in the game Minecraft. Exaggeration enhances movements, expressions, and actions for comedy, like the fast, silly rabbits in Rayman Raving Rabbids.Task 2

Photorealism is an artistic style that aims to create paintings that are indistinguishable from photographs. Cel shading, also known as toon shading, is a rendering technique used to make 3D graphics appear hand drawn like a comic or cartoon. Abstraction is the process of deriving general concepts from specific examples by reducing details and focusing on relevant information. In video games, abstraction refers to how visible or hidden the underlying game system is, with early arcade games like Pac-Man having very abstract, simple designs.Artistic styles

2) The author decided to animate a shortened version of the film Napoleon Dynamite using simple stick figure characters due to lack of drawing skills. Voice clips from the film would be used.
3) Upon reassessing, the author changed to an even simpler idea due to continued drawing difficulties. The new animation will have a simpler story, design, and animation, but a higher frame rate to appear fluid. The focus will remain on bright, vivid colors.3Ds MAX & INTRODUCTION TO ANIMATION IN AUTODESK 3Ds MAX

Animation is created through displaying a rapid sequence of 2D or 3D images to create the illusion of movement due to the persistence of vision. 3D images are modeled and manipulated by animators, while 2D images are created using bitmap or vector graphics on computers. Animators arrange virtual items to create environments for movies or games, then animate characters by moving, speaking or dancing them. 3D modeling involves techniques like sculpting to create virtual objects, which are given properties like materials and textures to make scenes appear realistic.Storyboarding an existing concept

Pixel art is a form of digital art created using raster graphics software. It involves the precise manual arrangement of pixels, as tools that automatically calculate new pixel values are not considered valid for pixel art. Drawings typically start with a line art outline before pixels are placed.
Concept art is a visual representation of a design, idea, or mood created before a product is finalized, such as for films, games, or comics. A concept artist generates visual designs for items or characters that do not yet exist using software or traditional techniques.
Texture in art refers to the perceived surface quality or properties of a work, such as smooth, furry, or grainy. Both actual and visual textures can affect the feel ofVideo Game Pre-Production

The document discusses four artistic styles used in video games: photorealism, cel-shading, abstraction, and exaggeration. Photorealism aims to make games look as realistic as possible, while cel-shading uses non-photorealistic lighting to create a flat, hand-drawn look. Abstraction simplifies subjects down to basic forms rather than reproducing them realistically. Exaggeration in games like Wario Ware and Rayman Raving Rabbids features over-the-top character movements and expressions to elicit childlike fun and encourage player participation through exaggerated motions.Artistic styles

Photorealism aims to depict objects and scenes as realistically as possible through detailed textures and polygons, though it increases development time and file size. Cell shading renders 3D graphics to mimic a hand-drawn comic or cartoon style, giving games a simplistic feel. Abstraction uses minimal details and Tetris is an example of this style. Exaggeration is common in anime-inspired games and is designed to be over-the-top rather than photorealistic, creating a more fun atmosphere.Storyboarding

A storyboard is a graphical visualization of the shot sequence for a video. It depicts each scene through drawings of the physical environment, set design, characters, and more. Storyboards allow filmmakers to visualize and refine their ideas, and communicate their vision to the production team. They serve as a link to preserve ideas for use in the finished product and let production start work early. Storyboards can be created by hand with pen and paper or digitally using software.Mojikenshare Art Direction

Pixel resolution refers to the number of pixels in an image's columns and rows. There are two main types of computer graphics: raster images which use a grid of pixels and vector images which use mathematical relationships between points and paths. Common file formats include JPG, which is best for websites and emails due to its ability to be highly compressed into small file sizes at the cost of lower quality. There are two types of image compression - lossless, which compresses to an exact duplicate but not greatly, and lossy, which strips redundant data to allow for higher compression ratios but results in some quality loss.Figurative artist research
