Agent and behavior modeling is one of the most important components of computer games and virtual environments that make these products more realistic and attractive. Agent and behavior modeling can also be used for serious games which is designed for training people in virtual interactive environments instead of real life training with less cost and close effectiveness. Belief-Desire-Intention(BDI) model is one of the software models that is used to model intelligent agents. In this thesis, we used BDI architecture to build an interactive virtual training environment, that is full of intelligent agents, for people who want to train themselves before facing real-world situations. With this approach, we show that it is possible to train and evaluate people with fully developer generated virtual systems adapted to specific scenerios without needing any living individual. We also integrated the system with Unity3D, one of the most popular game engine in the world and modeled a virtual training classroom with various intelligent student agents. These agents differentiate from each other with characteristics, behaviors and the responses to the user actions. Thus, the environment can become more realistic and unexpectable so that trainees can learn how to deal with variety kind of situations.

Data-driven and anisotropic tearing for cloth simulation Karaöz, Mustafa Mert; İşler, Veysi; Department of Game Technologies (2015) Cloth simulations improve realism of video games by extending interactivity of virtual environment and characters. Cloth is a heterogeneous material and it has anisotropic features which can increase immersion especially in a tearing scenario. Today, most video games ignore this fact mainly due to its complexity. However, style of the final output is highly valuable for video games and addition of anisotropic tearing can improve output quality. Shape of cloths can change, meaning that relative distance of t...
Cloth tearing simulation Önal, Emre; İşler, Veysi; Ündeğer, Çağatay; Department of Game Technologies (2013) Among different physical simulation topics, cloth simulation is one of the popular subjects in computer graphics. There are many different studies published on different aspects of cloth simulation, but there are not many studies which are focused on the tearing of cloth. Existing studies related to this topic have only dealt with some aspects of the problem and have not provided general solutions. In this thesis, we provide a generic solution for different aspects of the problem of tearing cloth. Some of t...
A study on conceptual modeling in simulation systems : an extended methodology for KAMA Aysolmaz Bozlu, Banu E; Demirörs, Onur; Department of Information Systems (2007) Conceptual modeling is considered to be essential in simulation development activities. However, there are only a few research studies on how to develop conceptual models. One of the important and comprehensive approaches is the methodology developed under the leadership of METU Modeling and Simulation Center (MODSIMMER) for Turkish Armed Forces. The project suggests a methodology to develop mission space conceptual models (GUKAM), and provides a Conceptual Model Development Tool for C4ISR M&S activities, w...
Extended scattering delay networks incorporating arbitrarily shaped rooms and edge diffraction Pekçetin, Serkan; Hacıhabiboğlu, Hüseyin; Department of Modeling and Simulation (2016) In order to achieve immersion in computer games, room acoustics models are often employed. Due to highly computational cost involved in full-scale room simulation, artificial reverberators are commonly used. Scattering Delay Network is such a reverberator that can run at interactive rates. The reverberator relies on geometrical acoustics to render first-order reflections correctly while it offers a convincing approximation in higher order reflections. The original model was exclusively proposed for shoebox ...
Introducing rolling axis into motion controlled gameplay as a new degree of freedom using Microsoft Kinetic Bozgeyikli, Evren C; İşler, Veysi; Department of Modeling and Simulation (2012) Motion controlling is a rapidly improving area of game technologies. In the last few years, motion sensing devices for video games such as Nintendo Wii, Microsoft Kinect for Xbox 360 and Sony PlayStation Move have gained popularity among players with many compatible motion controlled games. Microsoft Kinect for Xbox 360 provides a controller free interaction system in which the player controls games by using only body movements. Although Kinect provides a natural way of interaction, rolling action of body j...
