PROJECT_2 : DEATH (p2)
ALSO
After talking with Arthur, there is no way to cut the text with the CNC, it is not like the laser cutter. the scale and font art just won't work, the scale is the main issue. WHAT A BUMMER. so on ward to plan B - stenciling. considered using the laser cutter to cut the text, but it really seems like more hassle than its worth to just make it by hand at this point.
we also talked a little bit about why he works digital, i really couldn't understand why a 3-d artist would work soo heavily with computers and digi.fab. so basically from what i took from his reply to "so why how did you start working in digi.fab?" was that it started as a rendering tool, and then an output tool. it makes much more sense from that approach, insofar as its a tool used not applied. which is where i think, many of our projects are really lacking. this is to say the way the project is planned, and plotted out.

PROJECT_2 : DEATH (p1)
so anything that can go wrong will go wrong.
SO. through the graces of arthur hash, we are working on getting our file cut asap.
we were supposed to meet this morning however, access to the wood shop proved to be lacking on my end, and knocking was no help. SO. meeting roughly 2 hours late than planned, only to find out that the rhino file, even in what i thought was pared down terms was not pared down enough. (great.) However he did help us out a bit with a illustrator image (seen above) so a BIG thank you to him for that to help cut down the ediding a bit.
one thing i love are YOUTUBE video tutorials. everything should have a video tutorial. the ability to pause and rewind is AWESOME.
in other techy news: photo resistors are a no go. it looks like we are using buttons.
its make it work time.

PROJECT_3 : few things before putting it on the back burner
SO. despite my best efforts to not use group work... i am working in a group, via my own asking. After the presentations last week, i really responded to the work that Celine is thinking about, I saw some over laps in translucent materials as well as interest in text, and relation ship to the viewer.
Josh (i believe) approached Celine to work as a partner, and we all met roughly an hour later to discuss things. after looking at Josh's project plan he and I had a similar map out for an an environment and use of a sort of maze (for lack of a better word) design.
so we have some pretty solid over laps in over all construction but are really open for concept. however its crunch time for project two, so we exchanged contact info, and will be placing this project on the back burner.
this is mildly exciting.
