Britt Belo : Independent Learning

  For my Independent learning I choose to Focus on the Oculus app "Quill." Quill is very similar to the app SKETCH in that you're able to full immerse yourself within the work of art you are creating or a work of art someone has created within the application. The difference between SKETCH and Quill is that Quill was created with the intention of animating and telling storys through these works of art created within the app. Quill allows you export the characters or sketches drawn into an .fbx format...

Britt Belo Final Project

For my Final project I thought it was important to connect everything that I’ve learned and expolored in this class to my overall body of work. As a senior fashion design major, the annual senior collection fashion show is the pentacle of my career here at Syracuse University. With this show each senior is tasked to develop a collection from scratch to present to our professors, peers, and future employers. In the months leading up to the show, the process of building this collection becomes your entire life but in...

Final Project – Ariel Wang

In this class, I learned that virtual reality can be utilized in many different fields and areas of interests. Most importantly, VR is an empathy machine. This is why I decided to create a virtual reality experience on something that was always hard for me to explain to people who have never experienced it. In this case, it was men who don’t understand the pervasive nature of street harassment and catcalling. My final project simulates a woman walking through an urban neighborhood in the middle of the night. In this...

Joel Sherman Final Project

I found this to be a very negative experience. My original plan was to create a character study of a supervillain. I would go from a normal-looking house to an evil lair accessed by the fireplace. I would do this by using Playmaker to teleport between each scene. Within each scene would be details and objects giving information on the character. I ran into a couple of problems. First, I realized that it would be too difficult to use objects to tell this person’s story; I would have to use...

Unity Final Project and Independent Learning: Max Nelson

For my final project I planned on doing an inside tour of a dollhouse. After working for a week on it I realized that the project didn't really have the feel that I wanted it to. Instead I pivoted to my second idea which was a story about a car getting stolen and then the viewer/player getting it back. Our main character Ethan has gotten his car stolen by a rival crew. Their cars are scattered throughout the world and Ethan's car is near the other crew's house. Below is...

Britt Belo Assignment 8: A rock and Shoes?

So, I didn't find the process to be too tooo painful when it came to capturing the models. I made sure I had good lighting a fairly clean background and a lot of space to move. The first model I tried was a pair of shoes I made for my senior collection. I wanted to do these to get a feel of what my final project would be like, especially because a lot of my pieces incorporate wire. http://<div class="sketchfab-embed-wrapper"><iframe width="640" height="480" src="https://sketchfab.com/models/b092843b88014ea48329a101d234b80c/embed" frameborder="0" allowvr allowfullscreen mozallowfullscreen="true" webkitallowfullscreen="true" onmousewheel=""></iframe> <p...
