[Mesh Mashup: HD Refinement]]

The Dinosaurs are Fighting Back!

The final refinement....

For this week's project we were challenged with taking our refined design from last week and translate it to rhino. While we weren’t given any write up this week I thought for the sake of documenting what we did this week I would make a little process write up. When making the translation from mesh mixer to rhino I needed to make a few adjustments. I separated the teeth and eyes from the dinosaur model using the “select brush” and “edit > separate shells” in order to get a different material for our eyes and teeth in the transfer. When doing the eyes we can use the extrude function to make our eyes a little more lively! The only other adjustment I made here was to separate my earth shapes on the boxing ring. When trying to implement a picture onto the boxing ring I found the quality lacked severally, and a plain blue boxing ring was just too boring. So I separated the shell and colored it when I transferred it over to Rhino.


  When taking my renders I wanted to try out different angles, some close ups and some that captured the whole scene. Alongside this I wanted to try different lighting techniques and test out materials to see what gave the best effect. 


   Unfortunately we ran across a few bumps along the way. When testing out materials I had envisioned playing with the emission effect for my fire coming out of my asteroid, initially I tried a test run of this using basic lighting and some general materials to gage how long it would take to render. After two hours with little process I decided to change things up. After trying some different materials and fun lighting I could get a render done in a little under an hour. On my second night working on the project I decided to give the emissions effect a try, leaving it on overnight. I went to sleep only to wake up in the morning almost 8 hours later seeing I was 38/500 and realized maybe this wasn’t a viable option for now.


I decided to use two different types of lighting in my renders, some using the spotlight effect and the others used a two point light system. Between renders I played with different materials as well so you may see some varied looks for the objects.








 









Finally I tried out some basic after effects!

[Mesh Mashup] Extravaganza

  Mesh Mashup Extravaganza! To start diving into our mesh mashup project I tried to use a range of ideas when exploring remix. Because remix culture covers a wild variety of genres and effects many different things I thought it was important to branch out how I express my ideas. To do this I explored prompts such as a piece with narrative, a look at existing name brands, and stories that connected to my personal life. But before we can explore remix culture for this project first I have to ask myeslf, what does remix culture mean to me? Something I never really considered was how prominent remix culture is for artists. As artists the creation of art is insanely important to us all, we have sources of inspiration and things that give us a drive to create. When I thought about this deeper I came up with a surprising revaluation to me, all artists participate in remix culture. It's something that is so obvious but I had never thought about it before. Ever artists has sources they take...

    "Why not enjoy them today. Because we all have so many thing that are just around in the closet they're in the attic, whatever, that we don't even think of them anymore[..]" (Rob Walker)   Coming out of Gary Hushwit's Objectified my thoughts kept ruminating back to three speakers Rob Walker, Hella Jongerius, and Bill Moggridge. These three all shared similar perspectives towards design and more importantly the relationship humans have with objects.  Rob walkers above quote about enjoying the things we already had particularly stood out to me. As someone whose always had an interest in gaming and the consoles surrounding them the way the film talks to the enjoyment and sentimental values over time reminded me of an object extremely important to me, my Nintendo 3DS. While Nintendo has come out with several different consoles since the original release of the DS line and many more companies releasing consoles in efforts to consistently meet the gaming mark...
