Week 7- Reflection.

Week 6 - Independent Study + Reflection

Reflection on Lecture (Movement)

Week 5 - The Subliminal

Write a paragraph describing your strategy for the concealing and the revealing of your letter / number combination, to be embedded into your island.

My strategy for concealing and revealing my letter (E) and number (0)zero combination is to have a mixture of some numbers and letters being very subtle  to the point where it is impossible to see it but a few will be slightly clear and achieve a realistic island through different techniques ranging from macro to micro by the use of natural form of the island, shadows, rock formations, objects and literal. I want my island to be elegant and sophisticated but it will be quite difficult to achieve with a number 0, I will have to further experiment as some other letters and numbers will be used out of man- made objects

Complete a full draft of the outcomes required for EXP1. See the OUTPUTS section of the EXP1 brief for what is required; a full draft includes all of those outputs. While each of the outputs might not be finished they do need to present a clear indication of the strengths and opportunities of the scheme.

Week 4 - Environment Task

Mount Everest in Crysis

Mount Everest in Crysis with thicker clouds

Mount Everest Photo

It was straightforward from Geocontrol to crysis however when I tried to get a shadow from the terrain it wasn't able to, perhaps it was a large map or settings of the imported terrain. So when I asked help from Vinh Nguyen and basically reproduced the scene by faking it. We place a light and an object to create a shadow that falls on the mountain. The rest of the scene such as clouds and sky was simply altering with the settings of the environment in crysis.

Week 2 - Weekly Task

Geocontrol 2

Letter: E
Number: 0

Using Geocontrol2 for the first time and I love how this program works in creating terrain with ease.
It took trial and error process to get to the desired landforms for my island. I've included the graph for those who wish to have similar qualities land formation.
