another blissful day

Today, our morning trip was towards K-Arts. upon reaching, we were lucky enough to be toured around the school. it started on 1993. they have majors in areas such as fine arts, traditional music, dance, film, drama and music however do no have any major in game design.

One of their most famous notable achievement would be "Winter Sonanta" whereby two girl students from K-arts actually wrote the actual script and from there it manage to be held by the film industry. Not only that, the movie "The Host" was a full length movie created by the students, teachers, graduates. in which in these kind of cases, whereby they only start from their own theatre performance which was then seen by the film industry and it blossomed. Their works are also being sent over to other country to expose their work to others. However, in such a fine school, it is definitely difficult to get in but also difficult to get out.




Students in K-arts, are being taught through lectures, doing their own broadcasting which is in a form of class. Or even project based. It will all depend on the kind of assignment and things being given to them. They are being taught in lecture rooms, animation presentation room, broadcasting room, videoshooting studio, sound& audio recording studio.


they have their own individual tables/cubical for the students to do their own work. However, at times they are mostly at school doing their work. even during vacations, they do come back to practice.








basically, having their own setting room for them to shoot during class work. It is really convenient as the equipments given and the sets and kind of environment for them to study with is really broad as so much is being provided.

Like in rp itself, everywhere is our setting place for us to do shooting. Opportunities are given daily to do our own work. Similarly, they have their own room like how in Rp we had DAV labs to do our editing. They also do make use of the Avid system for their editing softwares as well as using Mac OS for their computer.






Basically, they do make short films, a full length movie, dance projects, performances, dramas,etc. Despite the fact that, they have their own setting room as well as lecture hall unlike Rp, it is still a school that one have to work hard to be in a fine school like K-ARTS.

After which our next trip, was towards, Taewool entertainment which is famous in their martial arts online game developing company. It has been around since 1994. the games are usually created based on real life stimulation. Their real motivation really came from their interest/hobby on gaming. In which also, their motto is based on innovation and fun. thus because of such interest, it led to better kind of game development, publishing as well as making it for global service & development. As mentioned "what you can imagine, you can create" which really shows how much gaming affects their life.

T3 have different kind of mappings, normal map, diffuse map as well as spectacular map. Especially when they focus on details/texture with the 3D effects that is really precise and very accurate to reality. Even though, it takes two years just to create characters in which what T3 sandbox contribution is, they focus on many areas. they their concept design, which leads to the features found on the characters. The content are sketched according to the design concept. Firstly, we can pick a normal map and then choosing high polygon mesh tool we can adjust accordingly to the colour/material trype, which then we can render to texture and then choosing the xNormal program and we can make use of crazy bump which then leads to diffuse map and then moving on to specular made by diffuse. after which, they move on into making the setting of the game, which is to import and then choosing mesh / material and from there the casts and recieve shadow. we have to select options by adjusting the IA,IS,ID. At the same time, the size/colour is changeable.



The achievements are like The lord of Hero one to three from 1996 - 2006. Seven Swords online, Xiah. OSMU is also one the artwork resource of Taewool as well as the engine company in Russia. However, it takes four years to create one game. Therefore, skills and team work is really essential especially in such industry.
