Finally playing Assassin's Creed 3

Been a long wait, but finally found a Steam sale where i could get a copy of Assassin's Creed 3 for half off..

Have already read plenty of bad and good reviews.. but after the last 3 games am well invested in the franchise.. lets see how this goes.

So far ive seen cinematics of an extensive recap of the story so far..

featuring the apple..the device linking them to the Minnerva and the "precursors",

Desmond the assassin in the near future,

Altair the older assassin from the crusades,

Etzio from the renaissance and others..

now i'm playing as a new character.. a guy named Haytham Kenway .. who's just arrived in America..

been fun so far..

impressive to see that theyve now got animals.. dogs, cats, goats etc.. all over the city..

Portals and Gateways

Did these two quick models yesterday.. and uploaded to sketchfab.com

The first is a "Door", a technology used by the Carrier(orbiting space station) in The Authority.

click for the interactive 3d model

The Authority is this neat comic series by Warren Ellis and Bryan Hitch. Its about a team of super heroes.. thats a bit more dysfunctional than your typical comic book super teams.

The second one is a 3d version of my favorite graphics from the game Portal(and Portal 2)

of course i've yet to model the most popular of these portals/doorways - the Stargate.. will do that sometime soon!

AR / Google Glass headset concept

Sketchfab.com had another Sketchfast over a weekend. the theme was "your ideal AR headset"

"Augmented reality headsets and glasses are all the rage today, with the Google glasses starting to ship and new players entering the field every week. But what would your ideal AR headset look like? How would you design the ideal AR headset for you? For your life?"

I had recently been thinking about both the cumbersome nature of the existing tech and also stuff like 3d glasses that one has to wear at the theatre or with a 3d TV..

especially if you already wear prescription glasses.

so I decided to make something that is more universal and clips onto most frames(prescription glasses or sunglasses)
