Three

Well, If you have not checked out the spaceship walk through, it is now to late.

There is a reason for this.

I present to you,
"Three".


As promised, this is the bigger, religious themed File I promised. Three is an almost complete, highly detailed walk through of the Ogden Temple. Navigation works the same as the last file, with one difference. In the upper left corner is the Time Machine. With the click of a button you can go from 1993, when the spire was still Orange, to 2003 when the grounds and the spire underwent major renovation. With one more button click, you can go to 2013 to see the grounds as they will appear after the recently announced full remodel.

If you have not already installed the Unity Web Player, you can find it here.

A couple words of advice. This file is huge. 60+Mb huge. It does take about a minute to begin, watch the loader. Be patient. Also, You may want to refrain from falling off the edge of the earth. There is no recovery from it but to reload the page.

Please comment and tell me what you think.

Izapa, Mexico

Back when I presented this project:


To my Digital Design class, there was a Proffesor working at the back of the room who saw it and went nuts. He asked more questions about the project than my classmates did. A couple of weeks later this Proffesor, Dennis Lisonbee, approached me about a short documentary he was working on with a BYU Proffesor about some ruins in Mexico. Garth Norman has made a life's study around Izapa Mexico. There is significant evidence that the Mayan Calendars were all refined and organised here. This place has special alignments, places where 3 or more monuments and mounds line up with various zeniths, equinoxes and seasonal events. I have spent much of my spare time over the last 4 months reproducing this place in detail, right down to the topography for use in a short documentary.

I know know more than I ever thought I would about Mayan/Olmec cultures. There is a potential that through this short documentary I could get more similar work. I really like this Digital Archeology thing. Following are a few of my renders from this project that I use with permission.

Here is the Documentary.

As of today, you can now see the Izapa movie I did all the 3D work for recently!

Digital Design Final

I'm proud of this one. this took a lot of work, and came together nearly the way I imagined it. This was a free form project, the content had to be generated within our field of study, and then we had to so some form of composition with it.

Text Composition

Had an interesting assignment in my Digital Design Class this week. We were to recreate a portrait of a person using text. we were given several examples of styles to work with, and I must admit I disliked all of them. I finally created my own style and choose a picture of a beautiful bride on her wedding day. The text I used to make the image with consists of three consecutive chapters of an Actual book. It begins "It is a truth universally accepted that a man of a certain age and in possession of a large fortune must be in want of a wife."

I found it highly appropriate.

If you don't know the text, then I'm afraid that there is nothing I can do for you. You will just have to sort this one out on your own. If you can't recognize the subject of the image, well, I'll let you blame that on my work.

A Calender

I'm taking a digital photography and composting class this semester. It's a bit of a pre-req to some other classes I want to take later. For our final assignment, we have to make a photo calender. Here is mine. They get a little fuzzy at the compression level I use for the web, but trust me the originals are awesome.

Composition

I made this image for a class assignment to be a re-usable graphic. It started with very careful and deliberate composition of the image, then it turned to placing the image in a larger composition. Here is the end result.

And just because the original composition is hard to see in the final, here is the original work.

The Invasion Fleet Departs

All The 3D Models I have done for this friends as of yet to appear game came in handy for an Image I composed to fulfill requirements for a class assignment.
