Assignment 3 | Spatial Composition

In class today we looked at space and how perspective can completely shift how we see an image. The task in class was to make an image from one perspective but on another axis to make it look completely different. I choose a monkey 🐵 Moneky

Result:

Moneky Monkey Monkey

Process:

Making this scene was fairly easy despite me doing it in the wrong order. first I created a plane and set the material to the image of the money with lowered opacity. Next, I started creating spheres and signed either a black or brown material to them then scaled them to fit the face(at this point I was only looking through a birds-eye view). I started moving the objects up and down at different heights but I forgot to consider that they would get bigger and smaller based off this so I had to re-adjust each shape a second time. Done😊.

Developing concept for assignment 3

In class, we also talked about our grey box prototypes. I was a little disappointed with how basic my idea was and wanted to spice things up a little. This activity on perspective gave me the idea to move the assets in my scene based on the player's position. Previously I wanted the colour of the scene to change based on the player's position but after discussing the idea with Kevin in class I was reminded that the assignment is assessed based on the population of the space and I had not been paying enough attention to the objects I might use.

I was thinking in the realm of having a corridor or a corner that has a selection of objects in place that move when the player moves and once the player has moved to the other side of the environment the objects have moved/combined to form a new canvas depicting... something?

These were some rough tests of the scripts required to move the objects.

To write and learn the code behind these scripts I used OpenAI's Chat-GTP. Below is the link to the convisation.

You can see I had some troble with the code just not working and asking it to reprint responces from privious questions. I think the tool was really helpful for teaching me how the script was working but not helpful when it came to contunily developing the concept.
