Algorithm Development Header

In the process of developing the components for my final project, I spend a good bit of time developing these algebraic equations that could then be used by themselves or in patterns. The end result is an extremely powerful pair of arrays that I can do just about anything with. Check it out after the link

Today’s 3D class was rather fun in that we learned how to use music to influence objects in the 3D realm. Always a fan of music interacting with digital media, I enjoyed seeing what sort of oddities could be created.

Kidding aside, it would help me greatly if you readers (I know there are some of you!) out there would help me by filling out the survey below. The more responses I receive, the better my project will get, so please spend the little time it takes to fill out the survey and help me! Just think, your comments can influence the outcome!

Yesterday in 3D class, we learned about some of the tools in the MOGRAPH module of Cinema 4D. After some play, I created this rather awesome look that I feel is rather reminiscent of Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis and if you are interested, I’m selling these fine leather jackets.

Modeling Header

This previous term (term 4), the main focus of the 3d class was on creating interesting and realistic models. While I feel that my work on the pirate ship from the previous term ultimately was more rewarding and interesting (I still need to locate the final version of that file. I’m afraid it might have gone missing), the work I did this term was fun and ultimately created a more realistic pair of projects. Hit the jump for the two.

Back in the Saddle Again

Back in the Saddle

Wow. It has been far too long since I last graced these pages with content. I’m afraid the last term was a significant amount of work and I didn’t really find the time to get cracking on this. I’ll try harder to get my final project status and efforts up here, I think. My topic has changed from the last time I talked about it here, so I’m a good bit more open now!

In any case, I’m going to be uploading works from last term over the next few days, so look forward to them! Unfortunately, the project I spent the most time on, my DVD packaging for the WWII documentary “The Memphis Belle,” was taken from me by the professors and I don’t have it available to take pictures of! I’ll get imagery from that project as soon as I get it back.

More Skitch for all!
