Virtools Midterm
Ever since break has been over, i've been catching up with my 3D assignments and working on my midterm. I've attached it, though not all of the components, especially the proper camera perspective, were exported.
It's the story of a squid looking for a date. The treasure chests map to realtime craigslist personals. I haven't decided on how this will end.

First 3D Class
I've been trying to shy away from taking practical skills classes @ ITP (Flash, etc.) because the thinking goes that if I want that I can get a book or take a course at a community college. That's not what ITP is for. The flip side of that argument is that if I could do that, why haven't I already? Part of the school experience is taking the time to figure out all the things I haven't had a chance to figure out on my own. I think this Intro to 3D class falls into that category.
I'm going to try to use this course as a representation skill for a project in another class. 3D rendering is a great when you are trying to get an idea across.
The teacher is good. Fun and geeky. He gave us a challenge to build compelling words, there's so much room for improvement. We're using Maya + VirtTools.
We also talked about sensible technologies which creates haptic 3d interfaces.
