Assignment 3 : Final Submission

Makers:


Sketch:

Project’s description:

The project is a combination of using Argumented reality techniques to make an animation. The short film took the idea about alien forces that tried to take our planet. The war between human and out space creatures is stared and that destroy the beautiful Sydney Opera House and Harbour Bridge.

The short film was based on the movie trailer style which was added music and short description words to convey the story of the film. BuildAR and Movie Maker are two main softwares that were used to make this video clip. The physical markers helped interract with 3D objects and they were moved to make the animation easily. Moreover, the project also gave a great oppotunity to using webcam as a camera to record video of the 3D model in different angles.

Assignment 3 : Interim Submission

I tried to reconstruct the Sydney Opera House by using photosynth skill, however, the result is very bad, because it hard to take the picture of the opera house from all the angles, especially from the top views and ocean view. Therefore, the recontructed model is messy and incomplete.

Then, i decided to use the Sydney Opera House model from google warehouse and combine with my physical model that shows a part the building and the stairs. The opera house will be used a the central concept of my project.

Thirdly, many different elements such as ships, car, people and tree are imported in to separate makers in BuildAR to test the idea of creating a environment around the opera house. The idea is try to test how many markers working together. The idea will be developed further by change the environment to suit with different events that happen at that place.



Testing more than one object and marker were use at the same time

The physical model will be used to combine with 3D model in BuildAR
Many makers were tested at same time

Proposal for Final Assignment




Proposal:
Base on the standard suggestion from the Assignment brief i chose Sydney Opera House as my chosen architectural object. The Sydney Opera House was design by Jorn Utzon and he also my favorite architect. It had become the pride of Sydney people and Australian. I love the concept of the building by creating a community space to gather people and sharing different cultures, the harmony between nature and humanity.

Therefore, in this final project i want to explore these values of the building by using photosynth and reconstruction skill to get the 3D model of the Sydney Opera House. The model will be modified to suit with my purposes, it will show the staircases where people gather, the shell roofs that connects the ocean to mainland.

Second step to develop the concept is apply the technique of Argumented Reality that i did learn from the course, by using the software BuildAR and 3D max to design new look of the Opera House. The main idea is to make some news proposal designs for landscape and additional structures to the original building that help improve the connection between people with the building and make the building become more friendly space for viewers rather than a big beautiful sculpture.

Final step is to combine the 3D object with the model that i am designed. By using Argumented Reality skill, the 3D object of the Sydney Opera House with markers will show the new looks of the building and the viewer can actually interact with that new design by see the animations and view around the building by using marker.

Assessment criteria:
In this project i want to focus on making 3D model by reconstruction skill, creating a Reality interaction with model and making some animations to explore the idea of my design.

Exhibition setting:
The work may be display by showing the video clips and using BuildAR software to interact with my model.

Assignment 2 , Augmented Reality – A Digital/Physical Model







Images of AR in action
Idea sketchs




Phisycal Makers

The animation work to show step by step the idea of building (Fly Village of MVRDV). Firstly, the maker link to 3D object , it show the box is connect together as same as the main idea of the building. secondly, the next makers show the construction concept of how the forms of the building are connected in beautiful way, the action is combined with turning building around to view whole model. Finally, this is the final senery to show the texture and overview of the finish building.
