My Final Video

Adapting my Idea

I found using esperient creator quite a challenge. It was frustrating knowing what i wanted to do and not being able to figure out how to get the end result that i wanted. I did further my knowledge of using the program by looking at the tutorial on the coca website, but still decided to change my animation ideas to be more realistic for my skill level. I decided to use the floor plane as the ground level instead of creating an elevator and move the model around the camera view with the rotate animation instead of moving the camera with the elevator as i had planned. It was good for me to find out different ways of creating interaction within my space through the use of deep exploration, esperient creator, fraps and learning how to use movie maker, and will enable me to use them in the future.

Design Ideas and Intentions

I want to go back into sketch up and multiply the model so that when I import it into Deep Explorer I can render it to have a more illusionistic depth in the space. I want to continue using reflective materials because I like how it creates further depth. I prefer the red colours as opposed to the blue that I experimented, however I think I will test out combining both red and the squiggly texture that I can apply in sketch up to add interest and dynamic to the space. With Esperient Creator, I want to move through the space with big walls moving out of my way as I go. I also want to transport vertically in the space.
