Year 2, Woo Hoo

Year 2 is already off to a flying start, our first brief is for the Connect World Competition and we've already been randomly assigned to teams of two. The project brief is slightly vague; "Tell a story of Global Development". This is further broken down into the usual categories of equality, poverty, the oppression of women, etc, etc.
The category that I (hope) to pursue would be World Debt, specifically the mechanics of how it works.
Ideally I'd try and explain it utilising a flash game, to enforce the concepts of how the debt are accrued. This would also be a good excuse to attempt a Papervision3D or Away3d based project.anhoo, more on that later

finished Product

What a dope, I've only just figured out I can post it on Blogger. Here it is...
Beware it's a bit on the large side, and you have to put up with Zshares c**p. Hopefully I'll find a better way of doing this.

Originally I was going to open the animation with a long camera shot that moved through a city. For that I modelled a whole town of basic buildings and backdrops. In the end 99% of the city wasn't used as it would haved unbalanced the animation. I also felt that the style of the modelled elements would combine well with the vector art parts

Beginning Photoshop

Now that I've got a machine with the cajones to run Photoshop, as opposed to Gimp, Im gonna put some serious time into basic photo manipulation.
Unfortunatley being colourblind means you can't trust your own eyes and have to work from Hex values. It is a good excuse to work in black and white though...

Vector Logos

Now that I've got the new laptop, I'm busily sorting through 2 old computers with about 500 Gbs of storage. I have found a few interesting bits and peices, like this logos we did for a class assignment
