Intro to 3D

What is 3D (Three-Dimensional)

3D is something that has width, height and length, any object that has those 3 characteristics is considered 3D. Typically, the world that we live in is actually a 3D environment and we move around in 3D everyday.

We are able too see and perceive different spatial relationships between objects just by looking at them because we have 3D perception. As we look around our eyes create two-dimensional(2D) images of our surroundings and our brain processes them into 3D.

What we use to perceive 3D :

Stereoscopic vision: Our eyes see slightly separate images this causes closer objects appear more separated than distant ones.

Accommodation: When our eyes look at a close or far away object, the lens in our eyes changes shape showing how far or close the object is.

Parallax: As our head moves one side to another, closer objects appear to move more than distant ones.

Size familiarity: If you know the size of an object, you can tell approximately how far away it is based on how big it looks. Also, if you know that two objects are a similar size to each other but one appears larger than the other, you will assume the larger object is closer.

Aerial perspective: Because light is scattered randomly, distant objects appear blurry than nearby objects.

Aesthetic (digital design)

This is my aesthetic work which shows our current life of living. This shows people are becoming lazy and depending more on technology to do their work. Which is the issue, that technology is becoming so powerful that we are like being controlled by them.

Visit to Mr sukor & hushidi's workshop

We had a visit to Mr Sukor & Hushidi's workshop near Mantin and in their workshop are many filled with many interesting things. They usually work in their workshop often during their off-work hours. The workshop is quite large and has many colorful paintings, self made 3D figures and sculptures made from recycled materials. Also, the furniture's are made out of recycled stuff too.

Whats most interesting is the 3D machine that Mr Sukor made using only youtube tutorial videos as a reference even its parts are made from it. It works by sending data to it using a chip. A computer program is used to transfer data to the chip of the work. It can print 3D sculptures but it takes quite a long time depending on the size of the sculpture data.

Minimal storyboard (Digital design)




This is my 1st attempt on minimal storyboard that goes from bottom left to right then up. The story on this storyboard is a picture of Katniss tears when she hear she is forced to participate in the hunger games. The 2nd panel shows her mocking jay dress and 3rd shows that cost of  the creator for making  the dress which shows him being beat up. the 4th panel is the arena where the tributes are fighting to get weapons. 5th and 6th panel shows the challenges face, 5th being a toxic cloud and 6th the monkey fight. the top and final panel shows the whole arena and Katniss firing a electric charged arrow to the sky breaking the dome shields and finally a spacecraft picks her up and flys away. 



This is my final minimal storyboard on The hunger games which starts from left to right. The 1st one shows the arrival at the capital which every hunger games takes place. Then the arena where all tributes are placed to kill each other. Thirdly, is where Katniss shots a lightning arrow to the top of the arena. Lastly, a plane arrives to rescue Katniss and the story ends until the next chapter.

Critical awareness

Critical awareness is similar to critical thinking in many aspects the only difference is that instead of thinking of solving the problem, awareness is being aware of our surroundings in the situation we are in and thinking what we are able to use in the situation.

Critical awareness is basically being aware when we speak, see, hear, and what ever actions we do. An example would be being aware of the language you speak so that it is clearly understood by others or even in life painting by being aware of everything and every detail we see. We also can promote critical awareness to others about a certain subject by sparking their interest/awareness with our actions which is usually done in groups.


What is analysis

What is Analysis

Analysis is a process of examination and evaluation in detail by breaking it into different parts to find interrelationships. In order to analyze something we must ask ourselves series of questions like why, how, and what does it mean?.

We do analysis every time because it is part of our way of thinking. We analyze when have a problem or in a situation that requires us to think carefully. For example, if we have been kidnapped you would ask why have you been kidnapped, how would you find a way to escape and does it mean you have offended someone or maybe you have something of value. Analyzing these problems can get you out of dire situations like these.

Finally, this shows analysis is important in problem solving. Analysis happens all the time but sometimes we never notice that we are doing it.

Infographics

INFOGRAPHICS

Infographics are created to make information easier to read and understand as well as more interesting to read than a wall of text. Also, Large amounts of data can be easily shown in a simple infographic. Inforgraphics comes in different styles and visuals without limitations but their purpose is to be shared.

In short an inforgraphic is :
- A story or thesis rich with tons of data
- An easier way to educate and inform
- A cheaper way to build awareness
