92 idea

This month, Ideasonair wants suggest to the digital artists to investigate a tool (Ideasonair is playing from one year ago) named: Artoolkit, that runs under Quartz Composer and Processing. This tool born on 2008 and play with 3-D and augmented reality.

91 idea

Ideasonair proposes to build an online artwork, an interactive virtual 
landscape as a virtual sculpture that is continually in transformation because it is connected remotely to a satellite that predicts the weather and takes the latest weather’s data from a city--for example, from the always-variable London.

90 idea

Inspired by the dome of the Purgatorio’s church in Terracina, ideasonair proposes to the digital artists to build an interactive video installation just inside the dome. Connecting the dome to a space station via satellite, to watch the space and the cyber-space through the church…

89 idea

86 idea

This is a technical idea on how is possible to create an animation with the stereoscopic effect just using Google SketchUp freeware version.
So, download and install Google SketchUp. Download or create a model and animate it. Save the animation project file, and then save an exact, duplicate copy of that same project file, with a different file name. Open both the animations in separate windows, place them side-by-side, either as a parallel pair or crossed pair. Open the first frame of each scene, one at a time and shift the camera in one window by panning left or right (horizontally) until the amount of depth is desired for that frame. When you are finished, if your panning was perfectly parallel (horizontal), you should end up a separate left and right perspective animation with interpolated frames with an animated stereo base. Since the cameras were “pointed parallel”, you will need to shift the parallax (”set the stereo window”) in post with something like StereoMovie Maker or Adobe After Effects.

85 idea

This idea proposes to compose an interactive multimedia installation, a sort of biological landscape that is the direct result of real changing environmental conditions. The atmosphere shows images of some human material, in order to transform and generate a virtual architecture constituted by it. Using the PL processing and two Lasers connected to two computers, a new spatial order in progress will manifest itself through a rendering of various layers…

72 idea
