Crates And Barrels - First Year Early Encounters With 3D

One of our initial projects in year 1 on our UCLan Games Design degree course is to design, build and texture a low poly crate and barrel. This gives students to practise their basic modelling and hand painting skills and prepares them for the creation of more advanced 3D structures.


Here's a selection of textures and models from Year 2017-18 students.

The Untold Sad Story Of Erangel

Erangel, one of the maps of PUBG, is 8×8 km wide containing grass, woodland, urban and sea terrains. According to PUBG team, this map was inspired by a real-life abandoned island located in the black sea near Russia. The story behind this island is full of sadness and sorrowful that might change the way you play this map.








Everyone knows that without struggle there is no success. But the story of Erangel is related to the society who never got the fruit of their struggles.
         
                  Erangel is a fictional island located in the black sea abandoned near Russia. Once this was a happy island but today there is nothing except silence. What happened to this island that it became an isolated land where not even a person exists?

    The story starts in 1950 when the island was under Soviet forces. They used to test their biological/chemical experiments on the local people. The people became aware of it and they decided to protest against it. A large mass gathering of people protested against this illegal experiments. The military also tried to confiscate the protest and bring it under control. They established electrical fences all over the area to restrict the protesters. In the game, the same thing happens where the players are restricted by the blue zone and they are pressurized to come into a small area. 
   
                  The protesters didn't give up and gave their best but in the end, they failed. They didn't get the fruit of their struggles and then they decided to leave the island. One after one they left the island leaving the island abandoned.

          Now the same island inspired to Tencent games and they decided to pick this Island as one of the maps of PUBG and they named the island Erangel. The name Erangel was actually inspired by PLAYERUNKNOWN'S daughter Eryn. 

          So guys you have to think now what is the role of PUBG players on this island? Are they the millitary campers who is trying to confiscate the protest or the civilians who are fighting for their own rights? Tell us in the comments section below!
