For my independent learning, i decided to learn more about creating a character on Adobe Fuse CC. From our previous projects, we got to install the characters and objects from the assets store in Unity. However, I feel the free ones are very limited and they are not exactly what i wanted. So when professor Jason Webb introduced us to Adobe Fuse CC, i was addicted. Coming from writing background, a Magazine, Newspaper and Online Journalism student, I never thought i would be able to create a 3d character, nonetheless one...
https://tabel.withgoogle.com/ Tabel is an experimental VR film project from Google’s Art Copy and Code project. The 7-minute interactive short film may look just like a scene in the middle of the restaurant which ended with a fire in the kitchen, but it has a much more powerful meaning behind it, it’s about climate change. Tabel is a word play of table, as the whole movie mainly focused on the people of the surrounding tables. This interactive movie is different from others in a way that they use unique audio...
After talking to one of the co-chairs of the Association of Public Diplomacy Scholars APDS, they mentioned they are having a Public Diplomacy Summit in 2018 in Washington DC. Since the summit is not on campus, they wanted a 360 video that would allow the participants to see the campus and experience what Public Diplomacy scholars go through on a daily basis. Syracuse University campus is a very beautiful campus with various spots to film the 360 video. I started to brainstorm with the APDS on where they often go,...

For this assignment, we have to make an object move. I knew that i wanted to do an animal, so i search for a 3d animate animal in the asset store. At first, i downloaded the horse. But i couldn't get it to move. So i tried the tiger and it came with many elements of hit, run and sound. I decided to create a scene of a house and have the tiger as a guard tiger; when we walk near the tiger it will hit and roar. I had...
As a food lover, i wanted to create a land full of food and have snowman population to fill the land. Initially i had the terrain floor in purple and rainbow pattern, but it was too much for the eyes, and when i tried to make the mountain, it looks too bizarre. I decided to keep the floor and mountains look natural, to balance out the crazy but cute big food around the land. Additionally, it took me a while before i get used to moving, rotating and resizing...

It's that time of year where newly accepted students are eager to find out more about the new adventure they are about to begin. I remember when i got the acceptance email, first thing i did was to reread the whole email, and read the word "Congratulations" over and over before starting to research more in depth about the school. I used google map to walk around campus to see how the school looks like. This gave me the idea that i should do a 360 video of some of...

It is a collection of original photographs from the late 1800s till now showing travel photos of various places. The video would start from walking into the gallery, and start walking around the exhibition room, while stopping at each photo with titles and short description...

I remember the first time i was introduced to google cardboard. It was a casual dinner with my friends. We were catching up what each other were up to. One of them had opened an online shop selling google cardboard. I didn't know at that time what it was. He let me try watching a video of under the sea through the google cardboard. I still remember the feeling to this day how amazed i was, seeing the shark so close up, like i could touch it and how foolish...
