Building Virtual Worlds (BVW)
Building Virtual Worlds (BVW) was a class that pushed students to create
entertainment experiences. Groups of four or five students from different disciplines would come together to create
worlds in a 3D engine called Panda3D. Roles were assigned to each student they were programmer, modeler, sound
designer, texture artist, and one student would double as producer.
My teams and I created 5 worlds, two of which made it into the BVW show at the end of the semester which was put
on in front of the whole campus as well as many visitors who come back time and time again.
Videos of them can be found in my portfolio.
