Computer Animation

Continue working on supplemental models (kiosk, vendor cart, entry arch, etc) also focus your efforts on a storyboard for the two minute animation.  This will guide what and how we model.  This step is very important.  Make sure to address run time of each shot in the storyboard.  This is critical for computer animation.  

The storyboard is due tomorrow.

What’s a Raspberry Pi?

The Raspberry Pi is a credit-card sized computer that plugs into your TV and a keyboard. It’s a capable little PC which can be used for many of the things that your desktop PC does, like spreadsheets, word-processing and games. It also plays high-definition video. We want to see it being used by kids all over the world to learn programming.

Video Contest !

September 17, 2012 – Attorney General Launches 2012 High School Video Scholarship Contest

Columbus, Ohio – Ohio Attorney General Mike DeWine today announced the start of the 2012 Take Action High School Video Contest, which gives Ohio high school students a chance to win college scholarships.

"Consumer scams continue to plague Ohioans of all ages," Attorney General DeWine said. "This contest gives high school students a chance to educate Ohioans and their peers about scams while demonstrating their creativity and talent."

The contest officially begins on Sept. 17, 2012, when Ohio high school students may submit a 60-second video on the importance of being aware of and avoiding various consumer scams. Entries may come from individuals or teams of two students. Videos must be submitted by Dec. 14, 2012, and the winners will be announced in early 2013.

In their videos, students must encourage their peers to be savvy consumers and avoid scams using one of the following topics:

Ways to avoid a scam

Prizes/sweepstakes scams

Online marketplace scams

Grandparent scams

Scholarship/grant scams

The top three winning individuals or teams will receive college scholarships of $2,500, $1,500, and $1,000, respectively. The winners also will have an opportunity to be featured on the Attorney General's website.

 

For more information, official rules and eligibility requirements, or to submit a video, visit www.OhioAttorneyGeneral.gov/TakeActionContest.

 

Last year's winner, "The 3Rs of Internet Fraud," is available at the Ohio Attorney General's website.

 

IMD I - Last Day for SRC

Long lab today will be the last day for SRC!



Creativity is just connecting things. When you ask creative people how they did something, they feel a little guilty because they didn't really do it, they just saw something. It seemed obvious to them after a while. That's because they were able to connect experiences they've had and synthesize new things. - Steve Jobs

Wednesday and Thursday IMD I and II Project Plans

Wednesday and Thursday IMD I and II Project Plans

IMD I – SRC LAB

You will have lab on Wednesday and Thursday to complete most of your SRC project.  Make sure to use the slides and sketches you have generated as you work.  I will be looking to see the connection between what you planned and your final project.

You will have approximately 4 lab hours to complete this project

Remember what we discussed in class about your models:

1. Keep textures simple, subtle is usually better.

2. Don't let the shapes do the work for you. It's time to let the teapot go.

3. Combine lots of small copied shapes and groups to make larger objects.

4. Texture and map before copying.

5. Make sure you use the tools, it will improve your work.

 

Use your quick keys and shortcuts! SAVE YOUR WORK EVERY 5 MINUTES!

 

Her e are the main elements I’ll be looking for when grading the project:

Planning evident in work

Texture is appropriate and controlled

Details – Are there lots of small details to create an interesting model?

Complexity -

Camera Use – Did you choose realistic, interesting, and descriptive views of your model?

 

You should use all available time to work on this project.  If you find it’s “done” after a couple of hours, you probably don’t have enough complexity and details in your work. 

If you have a robot you can always build the robots environment, buildings, laboratory….

Space ships are surrounded by planets, other space ships, space stations…

Castles can always be expanded!

 

IMD II – Chess Environment

 Use the next two days in lab to build your architectural and fantasy chess environments.    Make sure to use the slides and sketches you have generated as you work.  I will be looking to see the connection between what you planned and your final project.

Create basic textures for your models but do not apply textures to the chess set.  We will be doing this as a class activity next week.

AT THE END EACH DAY – Screen cap your progress and turn into the appropriate folder in s/p/f/imdII/

last_first_wed1.jpg,  last_first_wed2.jpg,  last_first_wed3.jpg,

 last_first_th1.jpg, ….

IMD I power tools for SRC

1. Keep textures simple, subtle is usually better.

2. Don't let the shapes do the work for you. It's time to let the teapot go.

3. Combine lots of small copied shapes and groups to make larger objects.

4. Texture and map before copying.

5. Make sure you use the tools, it will improve your work.

"Art is Theft" - Pablo Picasso

"Immature poets imitate; mature poets steal; bad poets deface what they take; and good poets make it into something better , or at least different.  The good poet welds his theft into a whole feeling which is unique; utterly different from that which it was torn." - T.S. Eliot

Use the hour in lab to continue working on your chess set model.  At this point there are several students in class who have completed the set.  These students are great resource to complete your knight tutorial.  If you get stuck on a step and can't continue get a head start on the 3rd hour project.  Use you time wisely!

 

The knight is due at the end of lab. 

 

Screen cap the knight in wire frame against the background image.

 

Name your work last_first_knight.jpg

 

IMD II 3rd Hour

 

 

 

The next step with the chess set project is to create 2 unique scenes featuring your chess set.

2. Artistic interpretation, about anything goes here.  Look at the Escher style sample of the wall in lab. 

 

Spend 3rd hour brainstorming and researching ideas for these prompts.

 

Show proof of your work (ppt of Internet research, sketches, other notes)

 

Screen cap the knight in wire frame against the background image.

Save your completed jpeg to s/p/f/imdii/7_knight1
