In the previous blog post, I mentioned that our goal for the 123d catch models was to lower it in size and optimise it in a way that it was small in size but still retained a level of detail. Aram has successfully optimised the 123d catch models using 3Ds Max. The result is quite good and obviously the detail of it is not as high definition as the original ones but the size of the file is significantly smaller and this is noticeable when view it in Revtizo. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
We all had a bit of trouble getting all the 123d catch models together with our Sketch Up model in Revitzo, for some reason when I tried merging them together one model would always override the other. Aram has merged all the models in Sketch Up, where we are able to move and scale it. This has made our lives much easier but this also shows that these 123d catch models are compatible with Sketch Up. Below are images of the 123d catch models imported/ merged with our Sketch Up model.<br />

Below are images of the Sketch Up model with the 123d catch models merged into it imported into Revitzo using the plug in that is already in Sketch Up. The difference between how it looks in Sketch Up and Revitzo may not seem as visible through these images but the Revitzo viewer definitely gives a clearer and crisper model. </div>

This part of the 123d catch model was the only part that did not look smooth/ connected and it has definitely lost some of its detail after being optimised. Other than that this still gives an idea of the limits that this model can be reduced and optimised. </div>

As you can see in the above images, after the 123d catch models have been optimised the level of detail is still there, therefore it is achievable to have a smaller sized file that still shows detail and clear texturing. </div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;">One of the things that we needed to fix up in our model was the beams located to the right of the museum. As seen in the picture below (taken by Russell) we were missing the top horizontal beam connecting the two diagonal beams. We have now fixed it up, as seen below. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;">After our presentation on Wednesday, Russell gave us feedback saying that he wanted to see our 123d catch models (made by Dr. Ian) to be made smaller but still retaining the high detail that it currently has. Aram has worked on optimising each of the 123d catch files. We have been testing it on our individual laptops but unfortunately the textures are not showing up, so we are seeing how small we can get the file before the textures are not visible.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;">Aram has worked on it and he sent us some new files with the textures visible. For the past few hours I have tried to merge all the 123d catch files with the sketch up model but for some reason in Revitzo it keeps overriding my files and I am only able to get one file in with the Sketch Up file. I have decided to put it into 3ds Max and merge it there and then save it as a fbx and import it into Revtizo. Here are the results:</span></div>

Everything looks very good in 3ds Max but unfortunately when imported in Revitzo the texturing does not work very well.<br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">I'm not too sure what is happening, it is most likely a result of the file being imported from 3ds Max. I played around with Revitzo and 3ds Max and tried different options. I decided to just combine the courtyard and Sketch Up file in 3ds Max and then import it into Revitzo where I then combine the front facade of the museum. </span></div>

Overall, I am happy with the result as it is a much better result than what we were getting before. However, there are a few problems:<br />
1. The butter churn (shown above) is having some strange texturing problems<br />
2. The doors of the Sketch Up model have disappeared<br />

<ul>
<li>Sketch Up model- the structure on the right side of the interior of
the museum was modeled incorrectly, there is an extra part to it that
extends up and back down making a triangle structure/ support. -->
This will be fixed by next week's submission.</li>
<li>Try and get the 123d catch models made by Dr Ian Ewart smaller in size but still at a high quality. </li>
<li>User manual - add more final images of what the manual is teaching. </li>
<ul>
<li>Have a more generic one on just Sketch Up (our manual is very specific to the Museum of English Rural Life)</li>

The progress on our Sketch Up model is moving along quite well and the set up we had at the beginning was one person would work on it and then upload it and pass it on. At first I thought this method was quite good but overtime there were so many different files being uploaded that some of us were editing the old file without realising our elements created by other members were not there. This caused quite a lot of confusion and frustration. For future reference, I think we should of split up the elements and created them in separate Sketch Up files and then copy and paste it into a central (final) file. I have done this before last year in a group project that also used Sketch Up and this method worked perfectly fine, unfortunately we are too far into this Sketch Up file to fix it up. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Also another confusion was that I discovered that the plan we were using at the beginning/ the plan we imported into Sketch Up as a base was the older version (still the new design of the museum but and earlier plan). There are only small differences like internal and external walls. I did stress to my group that we refer to the new plan which I had found (the latest one created in February 2015) but for some reason this caused a lot of confusion and miscommunication. To solve this I had to explain it multiple times the areas that had changed. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
A few times I have had to fix up the layering in the model because some elements were placed in the wrong layer and was causing confusion. </div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit; line-height: 18.2000007629395px;">The topic remuneration did not particularly have any relation to any groups projects, as none of us are getting paid for our work/ final outcome. Instead we are getting "paid" or rewarded with grades and credibility. However, remuneration is an important topic for everyone as we are all looking for a full- time/ graduate position and we need to understand the process of how much we should be paid/ rewarded for the time, effort and skills we put in.</span></div>

As seen in the previous posts, as a team we finally started modelling the museum in Sketch Up. We decided to split the building up into categories such as external walls, internal walls, doors, window, slab etc. Obviously, it is quite difficult passing the model around (shared on Facebook) and problems will definitely arise. One problem that I quickly found after other team members completed their respective parts was that we did not group our items which caused objects to merge and create unnecessary lines which made the model look extremely messy.</div>

I decided to create a new Sketch Up file and group everything in it's categories before moving them into the new file. This was very time consuming but in the end I do want to achieve a clean and organised model, so it was much better to do this process earlier than later when we have more elements in the model. The new file is grouped in it's categories which will avoid any merging and clashing with other items in the model. It is definitely much cleaner and easier to navigate around now. </div>

<span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-size: small;">As mentioned in my previous posts, we had a lot of difficulty finding out the height of the walls and overall structure in which we used the method of importing the drawings into ArchiCad and scaling it accordingly. I emailed Adam (project officer) at MERL who I have been in contact with since the start of the project. Once again, he has been extremely helpful and sent me the dwg. elevation and section files which we can use to get accurate measurements from. </span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-size: small;">In the email Adam sent me 2 dwg. files- Elevation and Sections which contains elevations and sections from all sides of the building. This will definitely assist us in creating an accurate representation of the museum. Adam also sent some images of the existing and proposed museum, this gives us a visual idea of what the museum looks like, since none of us actually know what it looks like. </span></span></div>

These past few weeks after finding about the change to our project we have had a few miscommunication and misunderstanding with what the client wants. After many discussions with Russell and the team we have finally fully understood what the clients wants. As a team, we now understand that we are to create a 3D model of the new part of the museum in Sketch Up that will be easy for anyone to edit and add to it. We must ensure that the Sketch Up model is well organised, with layers and objects appropriately grouped.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
In class (13/5), as a group we imported one of the plans given to us (see previous posts with plans) into Rhino to obtain the correct scale. From Rhino we saved it as a dwg. in which we then imported into sketch up so it was at the correct scale. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><b>Image above:</b> Screenshot of the floor plan of MERL imported into Sketch Up</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
In order to maintain a consistency of how elements are modelled we have decided to all work from the one Sketch Up file. Group members have done this previously in other subjects and have found this method to work. We have divided the building among ourselves in which we have given each other deadlines to meet, for example, today and Friday I will be modelling all the external walls and then passing it onto the next group member who will work on something different like internal walls or doors/ windows. By setting deadlines this will motivate us to invest time and effort into the project and to ensure that everyone in the group contributes equally. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
One problem that we did encounter was that the multiple plans we were given by Adam (Project Officer at MERL) did not contain any vertical dimensions, which we need to know to create accurate heights of walls and the overall building. As a group, we spent some time after the studio class to find out the best way to measure the height of the building with the plans we were given. We found it quite difficult to do this in Sketch Up, so we resulted in importing one of the section plans into ArchiCad which had a little bit more information than other sections to determine the height of the museum. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Some problems that we may encounter is having limited idea/ resources that shows us details of the museum. In the plans given there was a lot of plans and detailed sections which had limited information. The best we can do is get in contact with either Adam (Project Officer at MERL) or someone else at the museum to help us take some pictures of details in the museum or give us more detailed plans.</div>

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
As mentioned above, the plans, sections and elevations we were given did not have much dimensions on it. My group member, Aram, thought of a clever way to import the sections into ArchiCad and scale it on there to find the height or width of certain parts of the building. This made everything a lot easier and will help us in creating an accurate and scaled model. </div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit; line-height: 18.2000007629395px;">So far throughout the project we have not encountered any conflict within our group, this is a very positive outcome as we have established a clear communication line and respect for each other. At the beginning of the project and when we were told to change the software for our project we did encounter a bit of miscommunication mainly between us and the client. It was a little bit difficult getting information from the client as Russell played the middle- person who delivered messages from both sides. This did not cause any major problems just slight confusion and delayed our group in starting the actual modelling of the museum in Sketch Up.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="line-height: 18.2000007629395px;">Conflict is an important topic for all of us as we have all been faced with it and have reacted in many different ways. As we all move on to full-time jobs next year we will definitely face conflict and it is crucial that we all know how to deal and respond to conflict in the best way, aiming to minimise it.</span><span style="line-height: 18.2000007629395px;"> </span></span></div>

<b>How does Intellectual Property relate to our group (Virtual Museum)? </b><br />
Intellectual Property is important not only to our virtual museum project but any project that we did in the past or will do in the future. Having an understanding of intellectual property will allow us to know how much of a project we own if we are working under someone and in our circumstance, under the university. In the future, we might all have our own company and we need to be able to know how to protect our designs and business from anyone using what is ours without permission.<br />
<br />
For our project, the virtual museum, our client is the Museum of English Rural Life and ultimately the museum does own the project and we are providing a service to them which is meeting their needs and creating a 3D prototype model of the museum. It is expected that we and the university gets credited if they use it for commercial purposes.Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07334219013778254466noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3148300132059215552.post-52658866812449703132015-05-04T20:45:00.000+10:002015-05-04T20:45:57.458+10:00Week 9- Individual Milestone <b>Week 1</b>- <a href="http://vivienchan-code3100.blogspot.com.au/2015/03/targeted-cv.html" target="_blank">Targeted CV</a><br />

After the change of software of our project and its simplification, we have brainstormed ideas in how we can make it the best and accurate prototype of the museum using the software we are required to use now.<br />
<br />
<b>1. </b>We must identify how the museum is structured, how and why the displays are organised in the way it currently is- the sequence of the museum.<br />
<b>2.</b> How do people move through the museum- the <b>journey</b> they take from the entrance to the exit of the museum.<br />
<b>3. </b>What does the client want? How do they want the exhibitions organised? How do they want people to move through the virtual museum?<br />
<b>4. </b>How can we draw attention and emphasis on the objects? What objects that exist in the museum should we model? - significance.<br />
<b>5. </b>How will we convey the information to different users using different platforms e.g. iPad, phone, desktop.<br />
<br />
<b>What do we want to achieve? </b><br />
As a team we want to achieve exactly the same quality that we would of achieved using 3ds Max and UnReal Engine 4, we understand that the softwares we are using now (Sketch Up and Revitzo) may be slightly limiting and will not achieve the high definition quality that the other programs can achieve. We will explore the limitations of the new software and work to the best of our ability to create a virtual museum that is accurate and realistic.<br />

<b>Presentation</b>:<br />
<br />
<b>Pros</b>:<br />
<ul>
<li>Clear and precise slides</li>
<li>Expanded on points/ added new information </li>
<li>Great
use of graphs (visual diagrams) e.g. Cheney Model --> Explained the
graph/ model step by step helping us to easily understand it</li>
<ul>
<li>The self created animation/ video was very creative and explained the Cheney model futher</li>
</ul>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>Well prepared presentation- the group members knew exactly what they were talking about</li>
<li>Clear and well understood pros and cons- great integration of images and other visual devices</li>
<li>Talked a lot about different topics relating to communication e.g. the environment, verbal/ non- verbal, forms of communication --> well researched to help us understand the communication topic </li>
</ul>
<br />
<b>Cons</b>:<br />
<ul>
<li>Some slides were a little bit inconsistent e.g. text size</li>
<li>Didn't relate as much to the project (Driving Wheel/ Steering)</li>
<li>Mainly
one person did most of the talking which felt like he did all the work
while the rest of the team members just stood behind him. </li>
<ul>
<li>It
was clear who prepared for the presentation and who didn't --> Also
evident when answering questions, the same people who spoke the most in
the presentation. </li>
</ul>
</ul>
<br />
<b>Feedback</b>: <br />
<ul>
<li>Good foundational knowledge but needed to be more condensed</li>
<ul>
<li>Condense generic ideas</li>
<li>Show experience </li>
</ul>
<li>Use the term collaboration and how it relates to the group</li>
<li>Talk more about the team structure and the project specifically</li>
<li>Using feedback to correct end product </li>
<li>Repeated information e.g. Cheney model explained and then shown in an animation </li>
<li>Too much interdependency </li>
<li>Team is missing leadership/ hierarchy because of this there is a lot of miscommunication/ no clear roles</li>
<li><b>Specificity </b></li>
</ul>
<br />
<b>How does communication relate to our project (Virtual Museum)?</b><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Communication is an important component that must be implemented and worked on in every part of our lives from communicating to family and friends to communicating in a professional work scenario. Through the presentation it has been made evident of how communication has changed throughout the years and how it shapes the way we deliver information to one another. The group explored different platforms in which they primarily communicating through, such as Facebook and email. These are the platforms that our group uses, however we have found problems in using these platforms because not every single member, at first, had access to Facebook therefore information had to be passed back and forth which led to a lot of miscommunication and misunderstanding.<br />
<br />
A miscommunication was also evident in the early stages of our project, when the people at the museum didn't voice clearly of their intentions and capabilities of different software, this had led to our group changing software and approach. By this miscommunication, this had made us more active in our communication with the people at the museum, this is to ensure that we are meeting their needs and that the end product will be something that they can easily use and manipulate. We aim to communicate directly to someone at the museum who is directly involved with the project (Dr. Ian Ewart), this will be easier than passing a message to Russell who then passes it onto the representative at the museum. This will minimize any miscommunication or confusion.</div>

After our presentation on planning, Russell shared what he discussed with the people at the Museum of English Rural Life. There has been a change of plans and alteration to our original brief. The people at the Museum prefer to use a software which they all can use and is easy to update and work on. Unreal Engine 4 and 3ds Max seem to be too difficult to use and maintain. For that reason, Russell has decided to change our software to Revizto which you can put your 3D model into an environment, very similar to Lumion. We will know 3d model the museum in Sketch Up, as suggested by Russell, and then imported into Revizto to create the environment, lighting and other effects to make it look as realistic as possible. For the 3D objects we plan to test out 123D Catch and then use 3Ds Max to clean it up.</div>
<br />
<br />
This change isn't too harming to our group and what we originally plan, in fact it has actually made it easier because we all know how to use Sketch Up quite well and by the sounds of it Revizto it quite an easy software to learn in a short period of time. I would of liked to use UE4, after seeing its capabilties, to build up my skills in a new program but for the purpose of the assignment, it is important to meet the needs of the clients and this is the best solution we can give them.<br />

<br />
The image above is a model of the museum modelled in Sketch Up by someone from the museum. There are a lot of problems with the mode like messy modelling techniques (walls sticking out and not joining together), however this will assist us in starting our version of the museum. We will also use the plans provided by Adam, which was mentioned in the previous blog posts.<br />

The images above were taken and made by Dr. Ian Ewart from MERL. He took a series of photos from different angles which created this 3D model of the facade of the building and churning device. The process that he used is very similar to 123D catch. As a group, we hope to develop something similar for our objects.Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07334219013778254466noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3148300132059215552.post-54567193721608336952015-04-20T20:20:00.000+10:002015-04-27T15:35:24.186+10:00Week 7- PLANNING Presentation <span style="font-size: large;"><b>Prezi Presentation</b></span><br />

We also continued experimenting with UE4 and 3Ds Max to find the best way of how to things like UV mapping and light mapping in UE4.<br />
<br />
The second week of mid semester break (non- teaching week) we continued on our individual sections for the Theme of Collaboration presentation (our group was assigned <b>Planning</b>). Besides spending time on the actual presentation, we worked together to create the video that was required which further shows our understanding of the topic <b>planning</b>.<br />
<br />
This presentation required a lot of planning. I first had to divide up each section (more detail on the previous post), set a deadline as to when we wanted everyone's individual sections completed, how we wanted to present it e.g. Powerpoint or Prezi and brainstorm ideas on how to create the video. <br />
<br />
<b>Progress of our video</b><br />
We had a few ideas for how to make our video and we ended up deciding to make a stop motion video to explain our theme planning. We (Vivien, Grant and Tom) met up at uni on Saturday (18/04/15) to work on it, we worked well as a team as we agreed on things very quickly. <br />

<br />
To get things started I looked at what was required of us by referring to the CODE3100 blog and previous years work. This helped me in coming up with different questions/ parts for the presentation. For the back brief presentation we split up the presentation into different categories e.g. Brief, history, approach etc. and then I put the presentation together. This worked really well and we are taking the same approach for this group presentation.<br />

<br />
We primarily communicate through Facebook because this is the platform that everyone is active on and we can keep track of progress and information relevant to the project. <br />
<br />
These are the questions we aim to answer in presentation:<br />
<b>1. What is planning?</b> - Definition - GRANT <br />
<b>2. Why we plan?</b> – Benefits/ What is achieves - GRANT<br />
<b>3. Stages of planning</b> - VIVIEN<br />
<b>4. How to plan?</b> - ARAM<br />
<b>5. Planning Tools</b> - ARAM <br />
<b>6. Planning our project- Aim</b> - TOM<br />
<b>7. Planning for the future/ if any problems arise</b> - RIBAL<br />
<br />
There may be more parts to add but for the time being these are the questions that certain people in the group are responsible for.

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">We were asked by Russell to develop a simple prototype of the museum with an object (jug) in it to show to the Museum of English Rural Life on his trip to England. We divided the roles- modelling the room, jug, lighting and the environment in Unreal Engine 4. We were a little bit strapped for time since we were not 100% familiar with using UE4 and we encountered some problems like texturing etc. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I modelled the jug which was fairly simple but texturing caused a lot of problems and was very time consuming. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">It took me a long time to work out how to do uv wrapping. I watched countless tutorials and I realised I did not assign the material to the object that is why nothing was showing up. I'm not too sure if my method is the correct way but since we were short of time we went with it. I will continue practising until I get a smoother and realistic texturing. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><u>Progress- Week 3</u></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">As a team we decided to divide the roles (for now) into 2 modelling tasks:</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">1. <b>Objects</b>- modelling objects that are on display at the museum</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">2.<b> Building</b>- modelling the exterior and interior of the museum</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Most likely we will be helping each other on whichever tasks needs more attention. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Myself and Grant have been given the task of modelling the building. We researched online for floor plans of the museum but unfortunately there was nothing online that was of any use. I decided to contact the administration staff at The Museum of English Rural Life (MERL) and I was able to get in contact with Adam who is the Project Officer for the Museum (see email below). </span></div>

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">The Museum of
English Rural Life (MERL) run by the University of Reading is a museum
documenting the progressive change in the farming and countryside of England.
The museum contains an extensive range of objects, archives, films, books and
photographs that are of national importance. Due to its temporary closure for
redevelopment, this has resulted in no access for patrons. As technology is
rapidly improving this has opened the opportunity to create a prototype virtual
museum of MERL. Using the latest technology such as, 3D modelling software,
Unreal Engine 4 and the Oculus Rift the aim is to create a different experience
in viewing the contents and surroundings of the museum. It also gives the
opportunity to those who are unable to access the museum due to mobility or
socio- cultural difficulties. </span></span></div>
