After spending a few weeks playing with the idea of identity and the multiple personalities that people may have both in the online world and out in the 'offline' world I decided to make an abrupt change of path and head for an idea that I have been thinking about for a long time. What better time or place to try out my idea of an interactive online building. Just as one walks through an art gallery so to one should be able to walk to the same gallery though only online. A person in London who wants to walk through the Sydney Opera House should be able to and a person who wants to walk through the Louvre in Paris should be able to so it is with this project that I wish to begin the process of creating and building these online galleries.
Only, being an architecture student I would like to create something a little bit closer to home and something that other students could use. I came to the conclusion that I would draw on the 3d modeling skills that I have learnt here and somehow 'Flashalise' them. Create a building that people can walk through online, though as they desire they can see the building in its many sections and plans. Wether hey chose to study the section of a retaining wall or the plan of a toilet.
So if it's not clear already what I am essentially trying to do is create a method by which students can learn the correct drafting conventions and actually know what they are drafting and how it fits into a building.
Here is a great video that talks you through the various methods of how to do 3d methods in Flash, be that with the idea of parallax, by creating 3d objects and representing them in 2d or by generating 3d space using mathematics. I won't go into it further because the video will explain everything.
