For my interactive touch concept, I was admittedly really caught up and struggling with an idea. However, after a lot of brainstorming and discussion with friends, I remembered what Professor Chery once told our class in the past: Nothing is Holy. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
This is an axiom that I follow for most things in my life. At the end of the day, we have to make a decision, draw a line, submit a project. No matter what, there’ll always be something you can do better with something you made, and inversely, something you can do worse. What’s important is that we keep creating, experimenting, and expressing. What really needs preserving is this spirit of creation and artistry, not necessarily the work of art itself. Therefore, make those mistakes and mess up your art. You can always make more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
With this philosophy in mind, I wanted to create “particle clay”. Essentially, there will be two hand inputs that take in info from specific finger digits. When the user interacts with the inputs, they will begin “sculpting” the particle system, mixing and matching the different particles’ speed, color, scale, etc, and creating an interactive art piece that is ever-changing and dynamic. By keeping it fluid like this, the person will be in a constant state of flux\/creation. When the player releases their hands from the palm inputs, the particles will fade away, destroying the piece.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This will be done using Unity’s shader graph and visual effects graph. For the medium, I am still undecided what I want to make the input out of: My Artist Question is which medium would be better for the hand inputs: something glove-like (fabric) or something illustrated (graphite or paint)?<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" For my interactive touch concept, I was admittedly really caught up and struggling with an idea.
