Abstract
Dette projekt undersøger, hvordan kunstnere kan skabe former i virtuelle miljøer, og hvordan digitale værktøjer bedre kan understøtte kunstneriske arbejdsformer. Vi analyserede tegneprincipper, observerede hvordan en keramiker og en glasblæser former objekter i den fysiske verden, gennemgik relevant litteratur og bad en 3D-grafiker modellere nogle af de samme objekter i 3D-programmet Maya. Vi fandt, at intet enkelt designparadigme – altså ingen enkelt tilgang eller metode – kunne dække alle behov for kunstnerisk formgivning. Derfor designede vi en fleksibel platform, der kan rumme flere paradigmer via moduler og plug-ins. Vi integrerede tredjepartssoftware til at håndtere hardwareinput og geometriske beregninger. På grund af tidsbegrænsninger implementerede vi kun en del af systemet. Som proof-of-concept for vores tilgang til kunstnerisk formgivning implementerede vi modelleringsparadigmet Surface Drawing.
This project explores how artists can create shapes in virtual environments and how digital tools can better support artistic ways of working. We analyzed drawing principles, observed how a ceramic artist and a glassblower shape objects in the physical world, reviewed related literature, and asked a 3D graphics artist to model some of the same objects in the 3D software Maya. We found that no single design paradigm—that is, no single approach or method—could cover all the needs of artistic shape design. In response, we designed a flexible platform that can host multiple paradigms through modules and plug-ins. We integrated third-party software to handle hardware input and geometric computations. Because of time constraints, we implemented only part of the system. As a proof-of-concept for our approach to artistic shape design, we implemented the modeling paradigm Surface Drawing.
