Assignment 2

Put a description about your weekly exploration here.

• How did you engage with the project theme? -- The way that I engaged with the project theme in the second assignment of Project 3 was being able to think of 3 important objects that really resonate with me on a personal level and have many layers for reasons as to why it means a lot to me. For one the little plushy, of the Team Liquid Organization named Blue connects with me personally because it showcases my interests in the professional leagues in the gaming industry more commonly known as Esports. It has a well known community and continues to grow everytime theres a new fan of gaming and or new game that shows up yearly. The next object I chose was a Funko Pop figure of Megumi from Jujutsu Kaisen (Anime). It houses a special reason for being strongly connected to me because it was one of the souvenirs i bought on my trip to barcelona which ties well into the Project 2. The last object I chose were Golf Shoes. The reason why I chose these shoes because it is a personal reminder to me of a seasonal activity i do with my family every year which is to play at new and already played at Golf courses in the GTA/near us for easy transport.
• What was successful? -- Some of the tasks during this process for the second assignment that I deem as a success were the parts where I was able to export and manipulate the model's flaws which were the various sized holes in the 3D scanning of the objects. this is because it showed me how easy I would be able to fix the mistakes that the 3D scans provided to me after rendering in Scaniverse. Another was the thinking of the different objects around me that I could choose for this part of the project. it was made easy because all 3 of them were items that are/were supposed to resonate with me which I think I did a good job in.
• What was challenging? -- I think the most challenging part of Assignment 2 of project 3 was the initial scanning of the objects I chose. An example of this would be the process of scanning the Team Liquid Plushy Mascot of Blue. He was probably the hardest object to scan in Scaniverse as it kept of providing many holes in my scans and areas where it wouldn't scan correctly in other words the stripes in scaniverse would not go away even though I am scanning the areas of the object right with the proper angles and lighting. Overall I think the process of scanning the 3D objects I chose in Scaniverse was the most difficult. I think in total it took me around 20-25 different files in Scaniverse to get what i wanted for all 3 objects.
• How did you explore the lecture content? -- The way I interacted with the course content / lecture content was reviewing the Week 10 and week 11 lecture slides. More specifically I was in Week 10 reading and reviewing the steps to take to complete the second assignment of Project 3. the exact slide numbers I read were the following; Slide 56, this is where I watched the Tutorial 2 to understand how I can 3D scan Simple objects like the ones I have chosen. Another slide is; Slide 57, this is where i watched the Tutorial 4 where I watched the video where I was able to figure out how to fix the holes of the 3D scans and apply colours for the models in C4D. The last slide I reviewed was; Slide 58, this is where I read up on the different images I needed to make up the 25 for the assignment 2 template I have to submit.
