However, most architects limit the use of computers to drafting and documentation purposes. This study demonstrates the use of computer graphics as a viable alternative to traditional visualization and communication methods in architecture. The thesis is presented in two parts. The first part comprises of case-studies which demonstrate how architects have successfully used computers as a tool for visualization and communication. It also reviews the underlying concepts and components of visualization, providing readers with the necessary background. The second part of the thesis demonstrates with the help of an example, the construction of a 3D model and how to render and animate the model. In doing so, this study reviews the tools associated with the given discipline. Today’s technology brings the promise of incredible communication powers to virtually anyone interested in presenting a message. This study helps architects and designers in understanding what the technology can do. It assists them to choose the right tools for the job. And most importantly, it guides them in using the technology and the tools for effective communication and visualization in architecture. ACKNOWLEDGMENTS This achievement is dedicated to my parents, and Parul, whose invaluable love, support and encouragement have made this project possible. I would like to give my special thanks to my committee chair Dominique Bonnamour Lloyd, without whose support, guidance and expertise it would not have been possible to complete this project I would like to thank my committee members.

INTRODUCTION For centuries, architects have carried out shape computations by hand, using informal procedures and the simplest of tools. Over the last two decades, though, they have made increasing use of more formal procedures executed by computers (Mitchell, 1991). It is still too early to be sure of the gains and losses that result from this development, but undoubtedly this raises some challenging questions of architectural theory and some perplexing issues for those concerned with the future of architectural education. If multimedia can be defined as communication through more than one medium, then architects have been multimedia experts for centuries (Jeff Burger, 1993). Buildings structures are complex, visually, technically, and functionally, so designers have always described them through a variety of drawings, scale models, and writings. These traditional methods of communication have several drawbacks. With the advent of computing technology, new tools have been developed for communication and visualization in architecture. Preference should be made for computer graphics in architecture as an active tool

  • Making a Game Character Move
    Piia Brusi MAKING A GAME CHARACTER MOVE Animation and motion capture for video games Bachelor’s thesis Degree programme in Game Design 2021 Author (authors) Degree title Time Piia Brusi Bachelor of Culture May 2021 and Arts Thesis title 69 pages Making a game character move Animation and motion capture for video games Commissioned by South Eastern Finland University of Applied Sciences Supervisor Marko Siitonen Abstract The purpose of this thesis was to serve as an introduction and overview of video game animation; how the interactive nature of games differentiates game animation from cinematic animation, what the process of producing game animations is like, what goes into making good game animations and what animation methods and tools are available. The thesis briefly covered other game design principles most relevant to game animators: game design, character design, modelling and rigging and how they relate to game animation. The text mainly focused on animation theory and practices based on commentary and viewpoints provided by industry professionals. Additionally, the thesis described various 3D animation and motion capture systems and software in detail, including how motion capture footage is shot and processed for games. The thesis ended on a step-by-step description of the author’s motion capture cleanup project, where a jog loop was created out of raw motion capture data. As the topic of game animation is vast, the thesis could not cover topics such as facial motion capture and procedural animation in detail. Technologies such as motion matching, machine learning and range imaging were also suggested as topics worth covering in the future.

  • The Uses of Animation 1
    The Uses of Animation 1 1 The Uses of Animation ANIMATION Animation is the process of making the illusion of motion and change by means of the rapid display of a sequence of static images that minimally differ from each other. The illusion—as in motion pictures in general—is thought to rely on the phi phenomenon. Animators are artists who specialize in the creation of animation. Animation can be recorded with either analogue media, a flip book, motion picture film, video tape,digital media, including formats with animated GIF, Flash animation and digital video. To display animation, a digital camera, computer, or projector are used along with new technologies that are produced. Animation creation methods include the traditional animation creation method and those involving stop motion animation of two and three-dimensional objects, paper cutouts, puppets and clay figures. Images are displayed in a rapid succession, usually 24, 25, 30, or 60 frames per second. THE MOST COMMON USES OF ANIMATION Cartoons The most common use of animation, and perhaps the origin of it, is cartoons. Cartoons appear all the time on television and the cinema and can be used for entertainment, advertising, 2 Aspects of Animation: Steps to Learn Animated Cartoons presentations and many more applications that are only limited by the imagination of the designer. The most important factor about making cartoons on a computer is reusability and flexibility. The system that will actually do the animation needs to be such that all the actions that are going to be performed can be repeated easily, without much fuss from the side of the animator.

  • Autodesk and Autocad
    Chapter 8 Autodesk and AutoCAD Autodesk as a company, has gone through several distinct phases of life. There were the “Early Years” which covers the time from when Autodesk was founded as a loose programmer-centric collaborative in early 1982 to the company’s initial public offering in 1985, the “Adolescent Years” during which the company grew rapidly but seemed to do so without any clear direction and the “Mature Years.” The beginning of the latter phase began when Carol Bartz became president and CEO in 1992 and continues to the current time. Even under Bartz, there were several well defined periods of growth as well as some fairly stagnant years.1 Mike Riddle gets hooked on computers Mike Riddle was born in California with computers in his veins. In junior high school, he built his first computer out of relays. It didn’t work very well, but it convinced him that computers were going to be an important part of his life. After attending Arizona State University, Riddle went to work for a steel fabricator where he had his first exposure to CAD. The company had a $250,000 Computervision system that, although capable of 3D work, was used strictly for 2D drafting. The company was engaged in doing steel detailing for the Palo Verde nuclear power plant in Arizona. Riddle felt that anything they were doing on this project with the Computervision system could be done on a microcomputer-based system. About the same time Riddle began working at a local Computerland store where they provided him with free computer time to do with as he wanted.

PUB DATE Mar 94 NOTE 58p.; Ed.D. Practicum, Nova University. PUB TYPE Dissertations/Theses Practicum Papers (043) Reports Descriptive (141) EDRS PRICE MF01/PC03 Plus Postage. DESCRIPTORS *Cooperative Programs; Educational Media; Enrollment Trends; Marketing; *Outreach Programs; *Production Techniques; Program Development; Student Developed Materials; *Student Recruitment; Student Role; Technical Institutes; Two Year Colleges; *Videotape Recordings IDENTIFIERS *Story Boards ABSTRACT To address a decrease in the number of local high school graduates enrolling in Capital Community-Technical College (CCTC) in Connecticut, a project was undertaken to develop a story board for a video to inform prospective students of the benefits of a college education at CCTC. A literature review was performed to find information about the production of educational media materials, the use of media in promotion and marketing, the needs of college recruitment programs, and the subject of related video. Internal input was received from CCTC admissions and recruitment officers, financial aid personnel, and the student work coordinator, while external input was obtained from the director of educational television for the community-technical college system in Connecticut and a video production company. In addition, volunteer students were given the opportunity to prepare video materials which could be adapted to the story board for other students. As appropriate items of information were located, sketches were made indicating how they might be presented visually and then placed in order and replaced by finished drawings. The information was then assembled into a story board for planning a video.

  • Animation Is a Process Where Characters Or Objects Are Created As Moving Images
    3D animation is a process where characters or objects are created as moving images. Rather than traditional flat or 2d characters, these 3D animation images give the impression of being able to move around characters and observe them from all angles, just like real life. 3D animation technology is relatively new and if done by hand would take thousands of hours to complete one short section of moving film. The employment of computers and software has simplified and accelerated the 3D animation process. As a result, the number of 3D animators as well as the use of 3D animation technology has increased. What will I learn in a 3D animation program? Your 3D animation program course content depends largely upon the 3D animation program in which you enroll. Some programs allow you to choose the courses that you are interested in. Other 3D animation programs are more structured and are intended to train you for a specific career or 3D animation role within the industry. You may learn about character creation, storyboarding, special effects, image manipulation, image capture, modeling, and various computer aided 3D animation design packages. Some 3D animation courses may cover different methods of capturing and recreating movement for 3D animation. You may learn "light suit" technology, in which suits worn by actors pinpoint the articulation of joints by a light. This if filmed from various different angles and used to replicate animated movement in a realistic way). What skills will I need for a 3D animation program? You'll need to have both creativity and attention to detail for a career in 3D animation.
