My contribution to collaboration in the course

It was a big challenge for me to create something to look high-quality real time because this was what I was aiming to learn in this entire course. To start we needed to collect a lot of information for the project we wanted to create in the real environment.

Learning about exporting from different software and specially using 3ds max was a great challenge. Trying different methods to meet our requirements we learned a lot and found different methods. One thing that was very beneficial to learn was exporting and importing from other programs such as 3dsmax, sketch up and other cad programs. The only difficulty we faced was having good textures.

I found this was a very useful process to download modern furnishings made in 3dsmad and exporting them in the Crysis editor environments.
I learned how to investigate and teach myself to use new programs. During this course I learned how to recognize the programs even if I hadn’t used it before.
Everyone one has different unique personality and learning style, and so we need to understand each other’s personality and always think positively about other’s differences.

Working in group I learned a lot from other people, but I found it was very competitive rather than collaborative .Sometimes there was a culture or careless attitude towards my effort. I need to develop strategies to overcome this in future.

This was a major hurdle for all of us making appointments to meet seem to work never to be able to all be together at once. Our communication was disjointed rather than efficient .it took us a number of phone calls to reach desiccations which could have been done simply in one or two meetings.

Week 10

Friday 22 of May 2009
I continued on the environment .I had finished first floor interior I need to import more components from 3ds max into Hydroplis environment. I tried to install and reinstall 3dsmax tried to run the program I didn’t achieved.



23 of May 2009 Today I wasn’t able to run 3ds max in my laptop to complete some task .I was meant to import living area furniture and some other decoration and to complete specialisation task, since I didn’t have 3dsmax in my laptop I wouldn’t be able to finish specialisation task because is part of the tutorial I will create 3ds max is need it.

Modelling Visualising and communicating Urban Enviroments

Specialisation Outcomes



Specialisation Outcomes
The specialisation is about the light interactivity. My decision to choose light interactivity was because it is a very useful technique to use in real time environments .It’s important because these experiments will give the user the graphics experience of the space.

My three selected areas generating interactive light are:
 floor lamp
 dimmer light
 single lights switch

The first investigation of light interactivity is of the floor lamp. The floor lamp could be imported from 3ds max. To make the experiments successful, I need to work in flow graph tools to connect the two entities into one .I will complete an easy tutorial for this part.

My second investigation, the dimmer light, allows interactive control of light volume.
I was investigating the relationship between the operation of the dimmer and the flow graphics I’m having some difficulty and will need to research father ,I need to understand the components which are listed in the flow graphs so I can choose the right one to link the entities .

. I was investigating the relationship of this interactivity
To create operative in flow graphic, I found was difficulty .I think is possible to appear this complexity just need to understand components are listed in flow graph by choosing the right one to link to entities.
I believe I will achieve this experimental as my medium challenge.

The final experiments I would like to undertake is to control light from one switch point and relate them all into one light switch from the flow graph.

Week 7

29/April
.I tried to find a furniture warehouse online to download for free furniture in 3ds max.I had downloads of furniture to use in hotel as beds, living area, bathrooms and other decoration objects. All files were in 2009 max version and I saved individually in 3Ds format to be open in 3ds max 2008 because this is the only version we are able to export from 3ds max to sand box.

30/April
Two I tried to avoid any issues I had faced in the draft task which was when I close the program the textures were missing when reopened. I had discovered the:
1 Selecting Surface type




2 I had to follow the method Alichia Van Rhijin had set on her blog.1 st of MayI picked the appropriate material and textures I would apply in to the components and resized in Net Paint and saved under Add format this is a creations of crisis material folders .I had to find another tutorial that was about making textures folder.

3rd of May

Each of the components needs to be imported in different pieces while applying different textures in different parts of components.

4th of May

I had modelled the interior room and walls in Crysis. I had applied all the textures.6th Of MayOne day before the submission we met to combine individual work into one final team file.After that I positioned everything into place. Again created the textures to apply,again.

Progress of interior of hydroplolis

Today I started to model the interior of hydoroplis project and this is my first progress part.


Tutorail (cutting the solids ) In crysis





































week 6

As my group divided the task to Atlar team, my task was carrying out the interior part and textures. I was still undecided how and what to use to create the interior part which would look sensible. The reason I couldn’t decide to create my room in Crysis was, I didn’t know how to cut through wall in Crysis .I had success when I finally found some tutorial showing me step by step how to split cut through wall in Crysis.

Week 5

Context
Context preserve reflect to a different meaning this is some following of the examples.
 The background and quality of architecture presentation.
 Situation of group work.
 The environmental of group work.
Context is when we make to know and move on .Especially on the starting point of the special knowledge of behaviour than early connection.

Working in group its recommends that the team work must measure time of work, for beneficial reason of having time of the task also the task must be detail to know how the task goal will be achieved and the task context is very important to create task model. collaborating in teams work the task will be done with intention of an action since Woking in teams the group must develop trust in a collaborating group is an important as whether trust develop given the groups work in this approach everyone in team can help to achieve the purpose of the task aim .
Between teamwork becomes more far serious for collaborating when communicating one with other, if someone doesn’t have previous experience working in a team work, it’s difficult to correspond group work .this is an advantages that comes with the knowledge that the groups work together in a long terms and the behaviour in a dynamics environments is to preserve a rich demonstration of context .

Intent
Intent definite many meaning relay to our group collaborating as the following example
 Want to work and to achieve goal
 Planning weekly task.
 Give an intention when collaborating in team work
 To reach target of success
One of the important aspect of communication is intent, is very important to understand because is part of human” cognitive” system .Is mainly important when working in a group between each other.
is Intentional of the large vision which includes sense of connection of the future, load a new in the present because the present process of planning thinking is an experiment makes use of both creative thinking to design option and its very important thinker remain open to emerge opportunity both in services to the defined intent . Talking with each other, making decision it’s a qualities of describe a way of seeming of focusing attention.
“Shared sense of managing purpose that flows from personal to the organizational, rather than one is imposed from the top down.”

Week 4

Face book and my space are very functional to use, since everyone can communicate online and many people can communicate from different regions and can share images, files, and leave notes on their wall. This is reliable communication between those groups Its is up to date a time efficient means of communication for busy team members who find hard to meet or speak on the phone. Which the tools allow us to use and communicate are
1. Profile – The profile allows people to set their detail and interests
,2. Pictures/images –Is one of the most popular feature in facebook .People can upload pictures and other users are able to see the images
3. Wall - the wall. Allows friend and users to communicate wall to wall discussion forum rather than waiting for someone to be online.
4. Videos – This is one of the most important features uploading videos this will help us to share our files through face book.
5. Chat - chat features were recently added (much like instant messaging, but in a web browser)6. Notifications – It allows our group to leave messages instantly in case of any unexpected thing happenen.

Task 1

For the draft task I was meant to complete the interior part, materiality and textures, which I had found what I was intend to find .I had create my own map of material and downloaded materials textures as jpeg format then from that format I had downloads Paint Net which is the only program that allows us to save under DDs format to upload into Crysis game.At the end it didn’t succeed, when the file was reopened the materials could not be found. So I faced this issue .I’m hoping I will overcome this issue and find a solution for my next task.








Tech Test














This my attempted technique.
I was trying to research to find importing from sketch up to crysis and the only tutorial I had found was from sketch up to 3dmax in view of the fact that that wasn’t very successful ideas .I had trouble to import the model from 3d max to crysis .
