Posted by in Uncategorized Posted by in Uncategorized More (pre-NIME) Updates
Posted by in Uncategorized The NIME conference will soon be upon us, and after a crazy semester, I am all prepped for the roller-coaster of the international conference coming into town. The good news is that a lot of artistic and professional progress has been made: I took a sculpture class in which I learned MIG welding, I presented the…Read more »
More Sound Stuff
Posted by in Uncategorized A lot has happened between my last entry and this one… So, over the winter break (which lasts from roughly a week before Christmas to mid-January at my school), I took a course in Immersive Environments. I was part of a project team that created an environment that was a composite of particles and crystals, whose…Read more »
Baby Steps – After Effects
Posted by in Craftsmanship Morning, all! Last month, I had a teaching assignment during which I showed my fellow students how to incorporate sound into After Effects. I had to learn first before I could teach them, but in teaching them, I reinforced what I’d already learned and gained new knowledge… That’s a purely visual composition, but…Read more »

So, Laurie Anderson is coming to our humble campus to show some of her work and I will be helping out with the gallery exhibits in a research capacity (specifically the background information for the pieces). So far, I’ve been in a process called wallowing, a holdout from my humanities days, in which I inundate…Read more »
SUCCESS!
Posted by in Craftsmanship We have clothing! I repeat: we have clothing! It took several weeks and many, many, many man-hours (woman-hours?) of restarting Marvelous Designer to get to this point, but the basic hanfu template is complete! There were many different layers to add to create the illusion of depth in her clothing as well as the effect of the…Read more »
Baby Steps: Update!
Posted by in Craftsmanship Morning, all! As you have likely observed from the feature image, I am still working on the clothing for my character. It has been a challenging process to lay out the pattern of her hanfu in such a way as to make it intuitive to the software I am using, but after several iterations of this…Read more »
Baby Steps – ZBrush
Posted by in Craftsmanship Morning, all! I finally have the basics of my ZBrush character mapped out with plans to refine her in the coming days. First, let me tell you about her: the person on which she is based is a legendary figure in ancient China named Meng Jiangnu. Her story is one of the major epics in…Read more »
