Unsure if this is the right forum, if it isn't, please move it to the correct place, mods.

I have been working on this since late November, but didn't have want to share it untill I was done (bad Ju-Ju!). This was made for a college application (Worcester Polytechnic Institute in Worcester, Massachusettes), this is basically a 3d presentation of my Halo Costume in a museum setting, download linky is here:

Everything you see is my own work unless otherwise noted (either in the readme or on a sign in the museum).

Let's hope I'm accepted *fingers crossed*

Some screen shots:

That looks fantastic! Great job! I hope you are accepted! Good luck with your college search, although with presentations like this, I doubt you'll need any!

I wasn't accepted
Apparently they only accept media-conforming troglodytes.
I would rant about things, but the better part of me is keeping that in check. Maybe I'll feel better if I put on my cardboard SPARTAN armor.

That is very disappointing. I am very surprised that they would not have taken this presentation as a seriously as they should have. I know if I was on the board of admissions and had a student present something like this, I would want them at my University. The admissions board probably doesn't understand how much work had actually gone into it, as most common people do not. Heck you made a better 3D world/level than my college professor who was teaching a course in game art. He used the unreal editor and did some sickeningly basic stuff. I could barely stomach the course after working in RF and trueSpace. Oh and we were required to use 3DS Max. I am not a fan of Max, its like here you can freely create an object not with mouse gestures or easy movement but with a series of button presses? I never could make much sense out of its interface.

Anyhow, sorry to hear you weren't accepted. I'm sure you'll find the right University for your talents.

I just did, and was accepted to Daniel Webster College, with the major of "Gaming, Simulation, and Robotics".
Now for financial aide paperwork up to my eyeballs

Very nice! Congratulations on your acceptance! I know it's not fun, but you have to stay on top of all that paperwork and financial stuff even though there are tons of it to do. Good luck!
