It’s taken me a while to get this project to where I wanted it to be, but I think I’m finally done with it. As some of you may remember, my computer crashed halfway through the project, so I had to start modeling the glasses from the ground up again Fortunately, I managed to find…

AR Progress
So my progress has been kind of shaky, actually. I had to model the nose of my groucho marx glasses this week, and it was kind of a pain. I didn’t know how to do it other than doing it polygon by polygon. Here’s what it looked like as I was doing it And here…
Low-Poly Model: Groucho Marx Glasses
For my low-poly model, I wanted to start work on my AR project proposal: the Groucho-Marx-Glasses Simulator. So to begin, I tried creating glasses. Later, I plan to add the nose and the eyebrows. The program I used for this project is called Sketchup, and used to be known as “Google Sketchup” back when I…
AR Project Proposal
I don’t have many ideas for this, unfortunately. AR isn’t something I’ve thought a lot about. But I do have some ideas, so I’ll list them below 1. An app that puts silly hats on random passersbys2. An app that puts Groucho Marx glasses on random passerbys3. An app that simulates a little figure running…
Interactive Elements & Controller
As some of you guys saw in class the other day, I had working interactivity last Monday. I’ve improved the sprites a bit to add a leash, and have also added a tilemap in the background, which I plan on animating The controller is also below, and as you can see when I plug it…
Dogwalker 2022 Sprites
Since I’m more familiar with vector-drawing, I opted to draft up my sprites in Inkscape, and then export them to Photoshop (which I still don’t actually own). While in Photoshop, I could do things like remove extra lines and clean up drawings, which would make things easier In retrospect, I probably spent too much time…
Dogwalker 2022
My game is called “Dogwalker 2022,” and centers around the player taking control of the walker for a problematic dog. It is a top-down “endless runner” type game with randomly generating obstacles (people, other dogs, cars), where you must walk your dog until you are forced into contact with someone, which results in a game…
Laser Game Piece – Pawn Peasant
When I was a kid, I tried to imagine what the different chess pieces would look like as people, and drew up a few sketches of what I envisioned. I’ve reproduced an image of how I envisioned the pawn — looking like a peasant, below: If I had the time, I’d like to make a…
Rule-Based Art
Since one of my goals in this class is less to express myself than to improve my tools for expressing myself, I chose to make artworks based on the following rules All artworks must be done with pencil & paper No erasing may be done in doing the artwork Artworks must be completed in three…
Introduction and Portfolio
Since early childhood, I wanted to be a cartoonist. I spent hours doodling when I should’ve been paying attention in class, studied in various summer-art-camp programs, won a few different art competitions in middle school, and even tried submitting cartoons to the New Yorker when I was 14 (though I obviously didn’t get in). Those…
Practice Intention — Art and Coding
There are a lot of different things I want to get from this class. I want to improve my techincal skills, and I want to improve my art skills. It’s hard to choose between the two, so I’m going to focus on doing a little bit of both The projects I’m going to do this…
