For my choice of a Light Artist would be Carnovsky. I at first thought that it is the artist’s last name, but surprisingly it is a duo by the name of Francesco Rugi and Silvia Quintanilla. The Carnovsky duo uses RGB light filters to present art with 3 different drawings in primary colors of magenta,…
Flynn Duniho – Final Project
Everything is complete! It took a long time to actually finish printing the final, larger, sculpture, but everything besides that went pretty smoothly. I definitely want to do more with projection mapping in the future. I think one of the things I’d have changed is I would have made sure that the planes of the…
Flynn Duniho – Polish And Present
I’ve finished all the animations, and I finally got everything to 3D print. I’ll upload a video of the animations in the final project post, but here’s an image of the partially assembled sculpture.
Polish and Present – Codey Battista
After many surprises and technical difficulties, my project is done and ready to be presented. After going to the laser cutter last Monday, Bragg and I successfully used the laser cutter and were ready to connect the lights on it. However, after careful consideration, I realized that my material, acrylic, was too thin and wouldn’t…
Polish & Present – Andrew Mesa
This week, I got the lights fully working after soldering and adding a higher-voltage power source. The lights are also now attached to the tree’s structure. Although the tree lacks some visual appeal in daylight, in the darkness the LEDs illuminate at a low enough intensity to give the impression of a tree changing in…
Michael Bragg – Everything Working
The laser cutter in Unity was working, so I was able to laser cut my acrylic, I’ve attached a picture below. As well as using the laser cutter, my addressable LED strips are now working with the Pixelblaze. I soldered a phoenix converter to the pixelblaze, and then was then able to plug the LED…
Update/Things working – Amelia Jones
This week was not as productive as I would have hoped, due to being bedridden with COVID. However, progress was made, I am almost entirely done with one shoe and because of what I have learned from this one, the other shoe should go much faster. I am honestly a bit impressed myself with how…
Failure – Amelia Jones
Failure week lived up to its name when I put hours of work into the first side of the left shoe with the wrong color. Already being discourages by this project, a stupid mistake like this was adding salt to the wound. I have a lot of trouble moving on from mistakes so I need…
Update (Everything Completed, but LEDs may be Broken) – Andrew Mesa
The tree’s structure is completed with all the holes drilled into it to let light shine through. On scrap pieces, I was able to use spray paint and a plastic bag to create a wood texture on it, and if I have time, I plan on adding that to the structure of the tree to…
Update – Codey Battista
I know that today everything should be up and working, however, Bragg and I ran into a technical error last week when trying to use the laser cutter. We signed up for a slot and got there and the laser cutter would not connect to the computer with the software on it. Because of this,…
Everything is(!) Working – Stevie Frisch
After successfully gutting the magnet that was in the camera light I had bought, I was easily able to secure the light to my drone using zip ties, and an old tripod adapter I had sitting around. All it took to remove was a hard pry from a knife and it came right off. Getting…
Flynn Duniho – Update (not everything is working)
The 3D printing is having a few more issues than planned. There’s just one big piece to go, but it keeps warping and peeling from the print bed. So in the meantime, I don’t have the full-size model yet. I think worst-case scenario I go down to the CollabLab or something like that and see…
