CryEngine - 2nd try (Week 4- Week 5)

After not saving my files properly to open it properly next time. I started from scratch again and after multiple tries my design fully imported with all its materials into CryEngine. For some reason though my design idea, the hanging cards, didnt load all of its proxies. This meant that my person could 'walk through' the room and not as before just walk against my design.

These images are with the different times of the day/ lighting effects.

Mihimihi – Revisited

"What I love most is being busy, being able to move around. To keep walking and experiencing new things, meeting new people. I'm not a very social person, have a close group of friends but through being at Maranui Cafe and going round and round the tables I have met some very interesting faces. Many times I tried to take orders in German and French which surprised a lot of customers. I like to travel and dance. My name is Emma Ildiko Kapica and live in Wellington for 4 years now." – Mihimihi Draft, 

In the process of gathering ideas for our space design I stepped slightly away from my initial mihimihi. I looked deeper into expressing my enjoyment of travel in the space. My design changed throughout the process of having straight facing, every card even and in a way placed for perfection to uneven and somewhat messy. This is because not every journey is just a straight line. In travelling there a good and bad times, times which are more exciting and others where you just want to be home. This also relates to everyday life and the choices we make. 

From Sketch Up to CryEngine

Here I have my design in Sketch Up ready to be imported into the gaming software CryEngine. In CryEngine I will be adding some terrain and maybe trees to make it a bit more realistic and not just some boat sheds in the middle of the ocean. CryEngine is set up with the ocean, so you can create your own "world" in there with all the features like adding terrain and other objects. First the component from Sketch Up will have no materials in them, as I will need to apply them in the process of developing the space further.

Just some technical stuff

In all the drawings its not quite clear what kind of materials I would be using if I would create this room.

I was thinking that nylon string could be a possibility to be hung up from hooks in the ceiling, connecting the string with the postcard with some sort of clip. When people would walk through and move the hanging objects they would move with them rather than be pulled out if just nailed/ taped to the ceiling.

The wire would be similar to the nylon string but what thickness? I would say something not too thick but still stable. When people walk through the room, they will be pushing the wire away out of their way or grab them to look at the image better. Same as the nylon string the wire would be connected with hooks to the ceiling.

Next is what kind of material I would be using for the postcards. Is it the same card material or would I be using paper? Paper can be rather floppy and could fold together when hung up instead of being straight facing. Also more of a possibility to rip.

I reckon thick card is the option and binder clips will be connecting them with the string/ wire. It's stable and not too light/heavy.

Then there can also be wood, plastic sheets or foam card but everything would come with a budget.

For the inside of the space I was thinking of plain white walls as I grew up with them. The floor would be concrete or keeping it natural same as the ground outside.
