Some of you have managed to make your designs cope with the animation design table. Here is a page to collect all the Final Project Videos in various formats.

Sign up here if you would like DP installed on your personal computer. I have the install cds now and will leave on my desk in the CIFE student office (Y2E2 rm 291, next to the floor plant by the sliding glass door). Please put “out” in the status column if you take the cds so we can keep track. Return the cds to my desk or organize an exchange amongst yourselves.

Here is an animation of the parameters for the site. Ran into some bugs though so it is only the first 587 frames out of 1200. The script that does the animation will be published presently once it is packaged and finalized.

Check out Materials for some avatars to insert into your product models. Some samples below…

Here are the teams for the final project:
1) Yuri, Erin, Fernando and Nthando
2) Clayton, Charity, Christina and Ben
3) Min, Songya, Jae and Esther
4) Claire, Jacobi, Jordan and Kristin
5) Sophia, Diana, Rajiv and Jeffrey

I created the page Rendering in DP to give you guys a template render scene to play with + a place for posting rendering & animation tips for the final presentation.

A couple of light distribution methods
The effects are rather subtle but the various images use combinations of Final Gathering, Global Illumination and Area Lighting.

We’ve prepared a sample CATPart to help with the set-up for the bus stop component model. It’s in the materials section of the wiki under assignment 3:
http://php.twofourfour.org/dokuwiki/stanford/materials

All of the ‘driver’ parameters and their associated ranges have been added to the part. Note the following changes to the ranges:
Sidewalk_Width: 8-14ft (to give you a little more room to work with)
Person_Age: 5-100 years
Waiting_Time: 0-90min
Sun_Direction (Solar_Elevation): 75.5deg (highest point during summer equinox) – 28.8deg (highest point during winter equinox)

Some additional parameters have been added to define the curb (Under ‘Site_Config’ in the parameter tree):
Site_slope: The slope of the street measured from the horizontal plane (0-20deg)
Site_orientation: The orientation of the street with respect to North
Curb_Y_length: The length of the curb which can be devoted to the bus stop (30-80ft)
Curb_radiusOfCurvature: The curve of the street (infinite to 50 ft)

Also, there are a couple of geometric sets in there for reference:
1. ‘global_axes’: 3 lines (length 1ft) corresponding to north, east and vertical. These directions will remain the same regardless of the street (curb) orientation.
2. ‘site’: Contains a geometric set, some lines and sketches –
2.1 ‘site axes’: 3 lines defining the x,y and z axes for a particular street/curb configuration.
2.2 ‘curb’: sketch defining the street curb (grey arc)
2.3 ‘site_boundary’: sketch defining the sidewalk (green arc), which is the side and rear boundary of your site
2.4 ‘wind direction’: (blue) line corresponding to the direction of the wind measured from the site X axis
2.5 ‘view direction’: (purple) line corresponding to the direction of the view measured from the site X axis
2.6 ‘sun direction’: (yellow) line corresponding to the solar elevation measured from the horizon
