Collaborative unit: week 03 – Modeling
We had the third meeting for the collaborative project. Firstly, we shared the models that were chosen in the last meeting. I modeled two plants based on my sketches. Although I am not sure if they would be used for animation, I kept the lattice and bend deformer.
Secondly, as one of the members had a mid-critical session in her course, we could get some advice about our project.
- The critical thinking of this project: What kind of future would we like to present? (a promising future? an awareness issue?)
- What makes users think after they watch the MR piece?
- Remember to mention what you have done outside of your course (such as AI, MR….)
Referring to these, we discussed the concept deeper and narrowed down again. In the discussion, we changed the environment from the room to outdoors. Basically, it was based on the indoor concept; now we set the keyword as urban gardening in the future. We also discussed the keyword of eco-friendly; the plants could be composed of eco-friendly materials to adapt to the future environment. It could derive our concept, maybe making viewers aware of environmental issues.
