short tutorial about PARALLAX SCROLLING HORIZONTAL

This link indicates how parallax scrolling is done in An. Nonetheless, the owner did not explain from the beginning and starts with animation part.

IDEAS PRESENTATION

After consult with Mr. Mozamir, he suggested me to listen a song called "across the universe" in order to get new ideas which never existed before. Based on what i heard, i started imagine a sorrowful story and ended up almost having similar story with my another fellows. 

Picture below is about my presentation slide and details explanation about what i will do to create my story. Whereas, storyline has already being given in the previous 2 articles. So, i only explained the storyline directly.

As for the next step, i have to deal with sketch of character and storyboarding before heading to technical part... xD 

REFERENCES ideas of using PARALLAX SCROLLING

Method i used is parallax scrolling as using interactive web comic is too mainstream.

Actually, my ideas coming from several parallax scrolling website such as :

http://www.flatvsrealism.com/

Another ideas appear when i looked into their illustration and how they do parallax scrolling. Animation story is successfully done as well as using parallax scrolling vertical and horizontal together. Then, little game is provided to entertain viewer.

From this website, i get the point of doing 3D form eventhough it is totally flat design.

I was amazed of how flat design could create unexpectable information story and their illustration give me new ideas to find which concept art style i should use to experiment with parallax scrolling.

This website shows how the same background from 1 layer moves to another layer smoothly. They only replace trees and small things. Next, button is given to see what is inside. By doing this, i get rough ideas in conveying the story through press the button.

This website gives me inspiration of how soft color could be combined together eventhough the color is different (e.g. cream with blue)

OTHER IDEAS ? "SNOWY WISH"

TOOLS USED : adobe edge animate with parallax scrolling horizontal

In an extreme cold weather, poor little girl , without any jacket and gloves walking around the street to find decent food. However, she passed by an abandoned yet almost die red rose because of extreme snow storm. She is hungry but pity its life. Then, without any warm stuffs around her, she kept red rose herself and try to keep it warm. However, the weather is too cold for her! She can not hold it anymore and red rose shines into a fairy!

She gives her warm coat, eating, plays with her magic, or dancing by choosing the correct icon based on the story, so, audience could play a bit with this interactive parallax scrolling. Last, she wants to grant her needs. However, she only want the rose to still alive. Fairy does not say anything and it starts to disappear as the temperature outside becomes colder. In the end, fairy say "thank you" and both of them separated further and vanish. In fact, the girl died because of extreme snow storm which has just stopped and low temperature while the rose still alive intactly in her hand...


MORAL : Materials can not be compared with how big your respect to others, kids warmth and innocence is able to raise an abandoned soul

WEEK 4 - METAIO

First, it seems quite challenging to learn about Metaio. But, after several failure attempts to login, scan 3D map, and so on, i decided not to use the software as i do not feel interest in doing metaio after saw how the things are going to work.

Actually, the software is "more" worthed for those who interest in 3D. But, there is a limit where the software is only allowed 2 trackables.

It is started with opening metaio, and choose "image tracking" for 2D thing. Basically, it needs an icon or picture printed and select that paper to be scanned later.

After that, apply 3D object from creator3.3.2 folder -> examples -> contents -> 3D_models -> choose what you want.

After 3D object appear, go to "quick preview" to start the metaio simulation through webcam. And here it is! 

First trial is using metaio superman, and below is the outcome...

The second one, i explored with mammuth. Actually, could explore with whatever object there. 

Then, it is followed by adding 2 chairs from armchair2.fbx and carpet images to make a living room. Photo below is 2 chairs without carpet.

Adjust the position from front view

Next thing was demo with object tracking by using 3D map. However, it needs a real object to be scanned with "metaio toolbox" from your IPAD or smart phone. After scan a real object which is proofed by red dots around, it sends to your email and accessed until it is opened in metaio. 

Next, insert mammuth or something else in some areas of red dot and scanned the real object with "junaio" from ipad or smart phone. 

That's all for today i think.. hahaha
