Hello, this is a short page for my course module.
Wed week 3
Mon week 4
- Short demo of Google body (WebGL capable browser needed)
- Short presentation of the project (see below)
- Introduction to Sculptris
Wed week 4
Google sketchup
Mon week 5
Wed week 5
The project
(More details later, I also will discuss it with you)
The project will include two sub-projects + a very short report
(1) Create some kind of persona with Sculptris
- The object should have a conceptual link with the google earth model. I.e. it might sit somewhere in the Google Sketchup scene.
- Anything goes. If you can explain to me that a flower would be a persona that's fine.
- Make it reasonable.
(2) Create a model for Google Earth with Google Sketchup
- Think about something that you would like to put on Google Earth. Examples: A swimming pool on the parking lot of webster, a bridge that crosses lake of Geneva, A bar on top of K2. Anyhing goes, but keep it simple and use the right proportions
- Create the model in Google Sketchup. You are allowed reuse copy-right free models made by other people. Your own drawing work should at least represent 25%. Technically speaking, you can import either Collada (.dae) or native .skp files.
- Export to *.kmz and edit the *.kml file to position and orient your model.
(3) Produce a report
- State the objectives for both sub-projects
- Explain what you managed to implement and what further work might be needed
We will discuss how and when you should hand in the project...
Software needed
- Sculptris
- Pixologic announcement (download link is at the end)
- Google Sketchup (Google SketchUp (download)
- Google Earth client
Optional software that you can install on your own PCs
- MeshLab A visualization, repair and conversion tool for 3D file formats
- [kmleditor (only works with Microsoft .Net 4). This tool allows to edit the KML file, but one can as well hand edit the code.
- I also recommend that you install one modern browser, e.g. Firefox 4.
