For my third-year research project at AUT University, I decided to see the effect of the use of the Golden Ratio in a 3D game. For this, I created a game level without the golden ratio and one with the golden ratio. 

These images show how I went about calculating the Golden Ratio in the 3D models of my game.

Once all models are completed and converted to the golden ratio, I will have playtesters play the game and survey which version of the game they preferred. This will tell me whether having the golden ratio in a game affects people's preferences for a game or not.  

All the models were created in Autodesk Maya, and later placed into Unity.

​

My research showed that participants viewed the game version with Golden Ratio as more aesthetically pleasing.
