3D Production

As the semester has progressed I have continued to diligently work on the Extended RealitTree AR booklet. In the early stages of development I was responsible for gathering information to show alongside the AR experiences. While the information I had assembled for the booklet was complete, the research paper bulleted list format was not fitting the theme of the rest of the project. I was tasked to rewrite the information in a better format which was consistent with the rest of the project. The rewrite resulted in a more cohesive narrative which the team agreed was more fitting with the theme.

The carbon sequestration AR experience is the other part of the project I am responsible for. I have come to realize 3D modeling trees is difficult and time consuming. To focus on the animation itself I switched gears to use prefabricated models from the internet. I found a tree model and vehicle model that I used for the sequestration animation. The animation summarizes the idea of what carbon sequestration is and will be a 2d animation in AR. I am nearly complete with the animation, the last part is finalizing the carbon molecules and animating the camera in maya. I will also add lighting to the scene and an environment that it will take place in.
