Virtual World, Virtual Class X3D: Delivering New Dimensions on the Web! Web3d Tech Talk Wednesday 28 July, 2010 Teaching Virtual Design within a Virtual World The Art Institute of Pittsburgh – Online Division Dr. Stephen L Guynup
I teach Game Design for the Art Institute of Pittsburgh – Online Division in an online multiuser 3D world Not for grant money Not for publication (which is a pain) It works and I enjoy it... old news...
No dollhouses No playing dress up No SecondLife ... I‘ve got work to do Magic Space, PowerPoint, and ShapeShifting... old news...
I‘m teaching my online students to build content X3D/VRML – Multiuser Worlds, just export from 3DS Max or Maya Post the file online – and just by putting the Exit Reality or ABNet Server URL before your X3D/VRML file = a world - no coding! So, what to build first - I do poetry... new news...
Modeling, Textures, Animation, Interaction No one wins (or loses) at poetry There is no scoring, a bad poem can be a good poem Flexible design, easy to shift and adapt .... what‘s key... Shows the relationship between Story and Space Unconventional Narratives lead to Unconventional Spaces Poetry is a great startin point
This very classroom and interactive methodology began with virtual poetry readings some 15 years ago Value of Poetry
Following week I did a mash up of unfinished poems Digital Trailer Park
;( Sorry No Pictures Sweeping vistas and hillsides blended with huge tree, interactive objects, and my original space... But one guy was missing...
Happy students They learned a lot One got a job web3ddesign2010.orgsguynup@aii.edu
