3D Prototyping (Video)

Physical Prototyping (Video)

Basically I took 2 examples, one from the Addons Examples the “SVG example”, where it has a tiger vector image that you can zoom in and out and turn around, and when you click you get the outlines built. I only liked that last feature, so I made my own svg vector image of a house, so when you click on it you sort of see the “inside”, like a 3D blueprint. I then had to add a class, and I found a really fun example from Jeff Crouse’s Code for Art, that had a particle class. I didn’t modify it much, just randomize the colors, and adjust some details to fit my drawing. I would’ve like to spend more time adapting that code, but it took me like 4 hours just to figure out how to link the files of the class to the main app

Not sure about the calculations!

I did both circuits on the same board so I drew the schematics together. Electricity is fun

HulaSkirt

I couldn’t do exactly what I wanted to, at first I wanted to create movement with the skirt, sort of like if the Hula Girl was dancing, but I had a hard time trying to make the image of the skirt move, so I decided to make sort of a pendulum movement with lines, but then I had another problem, the start point of the pendulum was on top of the Hula girl, which wasn’t what I wanted, so then, I figured I would make an animated color skirt with lines coming from 2 different random points from an inner and outer radius I defined with a drawing program…

but it was sort of boring, just random color values…. so what I ended up doing was a skirt that you can define the length by adding a really small value to the outer radius, so everytime it draws through the passage of time, it draws slightly larger…. until you’re satisfied with the length, so you can then change the color and decorate the skirt.

Hammer Time (Processing)

What I hope to get from CC Lab:

I really liked Code class from bootcamp, it was a real challenge, coming from a non-coding background, but I really enjoyed it. I hope to first get more information on the things that are possible to do with Processing and Arduino, I tend to think of an idea and then figure out how to execute it, and I like that method, but I would like to have a wider knowledge on the things that are possible. Second, I would like to create and make a lot of physical computing objects (I signed up for the pcomp class), so hopefully I will get to do a lot of prototypes. And finally, it would be able to fully understand everything I’m writing on either Processing or Arduino, understand how to write everything.

Artist that inspires me:

Even though I’m not a musician, I really like the idea of Gorillaz, being a musical and visual project. A virtual band. Always trying to find new ways with technology and visual representation.
