The Gameworkshop

Harnessing Gamer Power

[gameworkshop]

Spilværkstedet har testet et matematik forløb i Minecraft om hældningstal i Minecraft.

"Som del af byens strategi for at skabe et mere bæredygtigt transportnetværk, opføres der broer i byen som skal forbinde byrummet via en cykelsti. Eleverne skal som arkitekter og byplanlæggere designe broer efter en række kriterier omkring hældning, højde og breddeforhold mellem gang- og cykelsti."

Vores test var et komprimeret forløb på 90min. Vi lagde især mærke til at alle 25 7kl elever var 100% engageret - både drenge og piger. På trods af at skolen ikke selv havde Minecraft Education Edition ville læreren bruge lektionens erfaringer som afsæt for en gennemgang af hældningstal.

Tak til Morten Pæregaard og 7kl fra Glostrup for en formiddag ned masser af win win. Også kudos til Luise Ratje som har medudviklet forløbet.

"Blokby - Upcycling" test, Timelapse

Testing a Minecraft lesson @The Gameworkshop

Today we tested our Minecraft lesson on upcycling, made in collaboration with Microsoft and The Danish Architecture Centre. Some of the objectives with this test were to:

examine how upcycling can be understood through simple crafting recipes.

how much time is used to convert “waste” materials into building materials.

how much time is used to build the house in teams.

to evaluate which restraints improve building.

to evaluate how restraints on the amount of materials influences learning.

We started by discussing the specs for the buildings they would be building. Each building should contain 4-5 homes and common amenities for the residents. We took a look at Elon Musks vision for future housing and explored how home building included more sustainable components such as solar panels, wind turbines and green roofs.

I recapped the approach to building, where groups worked followed this procedure:

foundation

superstructure

facades

detailing

As this timelapse shows, students had their own approach to building as soon as they entered Minecraft. But notice the building to the far left - this group understood this method and ended up constructing their superstructure first.

We are back at it - getting to know each other with some fun at the beach.

My progress on Unitys tank tutorial hasn’t gone as smooth as i had hoped, because i accidentally deleted my prefabs folder, but that just allowed me to understand things better going through it a second time  

[gameworkshop]

Good work

The 3 swords I made inspired by the “Polygon Modelling” chapter of the “3dsmax 2016 Essential Training” course on Lynda.com

1st Sword: The previous diamond sword but with different colours.

2nd Sword: Made a few changes to the sword that I liked and smoothed it then I found a picture of steel from google and textured the sword with it.

3rd Sword: The same as the 2nd but with custom materials and colours to look more iron-like than steel-like.

Keep reading for the reference sword from the course and the camera + light setup.

Keep reading

@emil-th og jeg har sat et Network renderer op og fik testet det

du to billeder fik jeg render det to 46 sekunder at render det på medium

og det to 12 sekunder på 1 pc  

vi havde 3 computer til rådighed

det skal bruges high-res 

det var sjovt at prøv

The Heroku example blows my mind

I have been working on the “new” csgo map that i started last week. I’m almost done with bombsite B which is the graveyard. my current plans are to finish bombsite b next week and then start on bombsite A and fixing the lighting issues.

Thanks for visiting my small little “blog” Have a nice day!

[gameworkshop]

Great level design

Good work here

#Tuesday

Continued work on the Minecraft project. We build some derelict buildings with some of the material that will go into the new buildings, so that the players will need to harvest and clear the spots themselves. Also added some construction vehicles for detailing.

[maestroyanus-blog]

I have added a bigger pool of objects that will hinder the player, at getting further in this endless runner game. I have also added a recycle script.

[maestroyanus-blog]

So I have added a player but the collision is quite…. Different. 

[gameworkshop]

Funny

[maestroyanus-blog]

I cannot upload anymore videos so I upload, some of the pictures of the finished product this is what it looks like.

[maestroyanus-blog]

I have fixed the collision and it now moves more smoothly.

Great work Janus

Sustainability, Architecture and Construction in Minecraft

This week the Gameworkshop has been finalizing worlds in Minecraft that support lessons around urban planning. In these worlds students assume the roles of constructors, architects and city planners - together, they must come up with sustainable solutions for the city of Blockville.

The worlds are modded versions of a world originally produced by Blockworks. - used to showcase the hololens and the scenario “Alien Invasion”. Partnering with the Danish Architecture Center and Microsoft Denmark, the Gameworkshop has worked on creating 4 scenarios around this world. 

We plan to release lessons covering the subjects science, geography, maths and language arts by the end of June. The lesson plans will be available on education.minecraft.net and education.microsoft.com.
