Rendering

cryengine ):

I had a few attempts at using cry engine but unfortunately my model wouldn't load into it i then talked to olly and he said to try and import it in pieces which i did try for about an hour and it kept crashing and saying "not responding", When i did get the model into cryengine i couldnt find it anywhere and i looked under View -> Open View Pane -> Select Objects   and my object wasnt there ): i did manage to get the guy to go swimming though so i guess thats better than nothing!

FINAL IMAGES

The cracks in these images show the impact in my meeting place  and the people represent the body. The body is also represented by the building as the cracks in the walls are created by the impact showing my meeting as 'body meets impact'. I decided to add a boxing gym on the bottom level because boxing is a natural contact sport creating a more obvious impact between two people physically. The gymnastics part to my design also has an impact which is less about two people impacting each other but more about one person impacting themselves with the equipment.

meeting place ideas

Combining a gymnastics gym with a boxing gym, I did this because they both have some sort of body impact being that it is fighting  other people and getting hit by others or  jumping from one bar to another or jumping off something or injuring yourself during a trick etc.

Impact images/ examples/inspiration

i chose to use these slow motion punch images because it shows different stages of impact from first contact to the end, i chose the images in the middle because they show the impact thats happening during the action.

Week 3 material detail

I made a trampoline using a photo frame and netting made from string and wool, I linked the string together to make the net.

Journey/experience map

A way of showing/ explaining the experience of going through this gym that i used was by explaining it in text and showing it through illustration and obvious arrows.

This week my idea is (2)

This week my idea is a Gymnastics gym.I decided on this idea because of two reasons, the first is that i like gymnastics and i really enjoyed it as a kid and the second because i told my cousin about it and she said she wouldn't talk to me if i didn't do it... I searched up normal gym equipment on google and made a list in my mind map to add into my drawings later. Choosing the right colours and textures to go with what i remember from when i was younger was a struggle to i completely changed my view on what i saw my boat sheds looking like and made most of the equipment red, blue, a yellow/orange colour or wood. Normally the floor is also covered in matts but adding more matts would distract the person looking at the new drawing and they wouldn't notice the more important matts that are part of the equipment.

My drawings for my 2nd idea after I've added to them on photoshop.

Plan, section, elevation and perspective drawings -idea 2

 These two section drawings are from both ends of the boat shed looking at the opposite walls.

COOL BOOK !!!!!

We were asked to go to the library and get a 'cool book' out. I chose this book because of the main colour and how it attracts my eye personally also because the strips of collage placed over the original photograph are lighter and more colourful than the photograph behind.

Gymnastics mind map

Before i started drawing up what i thought my boat sheds would look like i wrote down a few things that i think of when i think about gymnastics, not just the equipment but the physical skills needed for the tricks.

Expanding on first chosen places that i combined together to make my first idea.

CINEMA

The idea of movies is that there is a video playing with an audio to go with it. In the beginning before movies were invented it all began with the first photograph. The first photograph was taken in 1826, after that the first recorded sound and sound was a woman singing 'Au Clair Dela Lune' in 1860. In 1878, Eadweard Muybridge created the first 'motion picture' on a farm in California, the fast motion picture was photographs of a horse using a series of 12 stereoscopic cameras. The first celluloid film was shot in 1888 by louis Aime Augustin with a single lens camera, it was called 'Roundhay Garden Scene' and was captured in Yorkshire, Great Britain. In 1894 two men, named Thomas Edison and William Dickson invented two devices that would be used for viewing and producing moving pictures, they're called the kinetoscope and vitascope. 

The earliest film makers were the Lumiere brothers. By 1895 they had invented their own device which they named it "Cinematographic", it was combining camera with printer and projector. The first film to ever be produced and exhibited to the public was created by them, it was called 'Exiting the Factory' made in 1895 and the first moving camera film was called 'Lyon'.

Sound in cinema started in 1926 by Warner Brothers studio and in 1927 they released their first sound movie called 'Jazz Singer'. From the beginning of the 20th century there were attempts at adding colour to films, in 1941, 'technicolour' made a 'big step' with adding colour but the method was expensive and far to complicated. After the 2nd world war during the 60's, the colour films became popular.

CAFE

Cafe is one of those words that can be confusing at times in the pronunciation, in definition, cafe is 'a small restaurant selling light meals and drinks', unlike a dinner restaurant where the meals are more of a full meal to end your day a cafe is more of a meeting place with friends or family, meeting someone for the first time for example a job interview or meeting someone online (just an example) or it could be more about having a place to study while eating something light during the day. I am unsure of when a cafe was invented as there are many different types of these places (small restaurants selling light meals and/or drinks). Other common names these days for a cafe is also called a cafeteria or a 'caff' it means the same thing its just a shorter word and easier to say during a sentence. also more names such as bistro (a small, inexpensive restaurant), cybercafe which is another term for internet cafe, a coffee shop which can be found in department store everywhere, also a diner or a snack bar are all similar terms.

ART STUDIO/CRAFT WORK SHOP

A studio is an artists workroom or space where they create or work on projects or creations. They paint, draw, create sculptures and models. Drawings/paintings were started aproximately 40,000 years ago, it was called "rock art" or today its mainly called cave drawings. Cave drawings are found inside caves on the walls and ceilings the purpose for those cave drawings is not known. "The word studio is derived from the Italian studio from latin: studium, from studere, meaning to study or zeal. An art studio can sometimes be called an atelier, especially in earlier eras, "atelier" can also refer to the Atelier Method which is a training method for artists that will usually take place in a professional artist's studio. A lot of the art that is created in a studio is usually visually centred work, in an open environment multiple people working in the same space tend to help and encourage each other. Also a 'craft shop' is not only for creating art but can also be for selling arts and craft supplies. In my opinion an art studio is normally messy with paint stained boards and tables and news paper lying everywhere.
