+MAADM [Site&Motion]_[Flash Animation] Development
OK…so this is the day I submit my flash work. It has been a very interesting journey learning about action scripts and the possibilities of flash macromedia. A collegue and dear friend of mine uses the software but never untill now figured out why it was so time consuming!.  I must say i am proud of my achievement having just started using the software just over a month now and instead of...

+MAADM [Thesis] _ [Growing Structures]
New Blog, Please Visit: FLUID ENTITIES. By using the rules that lie behind animal swarms a simulation of steering behaviors for autonomous agents is executed through processing. This particular simulation is a representation of a type of growing architecture, where autonomous skizoïd machines use their trajectories as paths for secretion. Their trajectories materialize and bio-mimic a...

+MAADM [Thesis] _ [Growing Structures]
Using a particle to motion MEL script I begun testing on the notion of a growing  structure that appears to be constructing itself. Using particles to animate a swarm a script is introduced to leave a curve to represent their trajectories. These curves become paths for secretion-Autonomous machines create growth of a type of architecture. Particle Motion to curve

Using Maya MEL scripting I have managed to swarm 50 autonomous agents. Their trajectories are animated to show a possible path for secretion. These links shows animation stills and the entire animation in different views: Swarm_Maya Animation Stills Swarm_Maya Animation: LEFT VIEW Swarm_Maya Animation: PERSPECTIVE Swarm_Maya Animation: TOP VIEW

+MAADM [Thesis] _ [Animating Trajectories]
Using MEL scripts (Maya Embedded language) I have managed to produce my first maya animation. The short animation describes a simple tube like structure as a result of uniting flight vectors-the trajectory of each agent as history paths. Fifty (50) agents in total swarm to produce a secretion path for skizoïd machines.  If we analyse the combination of all the autonomous agent’s flight...

[Flash Animation] Development- Interactive Animation 03 After producing a series of tests and familiarizing myself with flash I produced a short animation, the first of its series using interactivity through the combination of symbols, buttons and motion tweens. Although the idea is still at its infancy It is my desire to produce a small interactive animation testing the notion of memory...

[Flash Animation] Development- Interactive Animation Test02 Just expanding on the previous animation by adding an extra scene, a beam of light is revealed once the cursor hovers above a certain point (as the image becomes completely dark). Once such button is clicked it activates a short glimpse of the image in its original state. Decay is animated on the background surface by very subtle...

[Flash Animation] Development- Simple Interactive Animation This is a simple interactive excercise using ‘buttons’. Please engage with the the short animation (by moving your cursor within the space above)and find a single button that will give glimpses of the photograph in its original state on mouse click.

[Motion Tween]-Learning Flash Test 03 from Alejandro Vicente on Vimeo. Learning Flash-using symbols and ‘Motion Tween’ After producing small test scene to discover the implications of animating light effects using different images per frame I decided to use a motion tween to discover the differences. Using motion tween and converting images to symbols yield a much suttle...

This short project was led by Mr. Dirk Lellau who I thank for his orientation and additional time spent during the seminar guiding me through the project. Also I must thank Dirk for arranging a group of high profile photographers and critics including Helen Binet, one of the most passionate and inspiring photographers to come and share their thoughts on our project. The seminar aimed at the...

Negative Aura Childhood memories of growing up under warm rays of light, a cool breeze at night caresses palm trees abundant in foliage composing theatrical leaf movements brushing against each other serenading the night. This is no more, air is space. Twisted moiré skies rule the atmosphere accompanied by ephemeral states of negativity from desperation to depression generating negative aura...
