While working on both my masters degree and Ph.D. I opted to spend much of my course time in multimedia related courses. I have been teaching multimedia related courses for over 7 years now. I strive to work with the newest technologies in my class. This
section includes a small sample of the work I have done. Due to my dissertation work, much of my attention has been on research. I hope to produce a fully developed short film when I have finished my degree.
Woody -- Woody was a fully functional mesh that I created from my drawing model that I keep on my desk. The model has over 12 armatures and utilizes 5 different textures. Here is short sample of woody while he is stuck on his pedestal. Originally I was going to teach a multimedia class using Maya. The funding for such software was limited at the school I was teaching the class for. As a results, we utilized the less friendly (but free) Blender 3D. The class was a huge success. I feel as though I could use any of the 3D rendering applications with a little time and a good book. I will be doing more of this when my doctoral work is complete.
Interactive CTSCAN -- Designed for an imaging center, this interactive Flash file was coded using action script that monitors mouse location and uses the results from the monitoring to control the time line. The result allows customers of the site to spin the catscan fast or slow in either direction simply by placing the mouse over the image. Other images for the companies site are set up to do the same. This happens to me my favorite.
Typing Game -- This game called Bubble Pop, was created while teaching a class. My goal was to have each student in the class design and develop a small web ready game. I was so into the class, that I had to create a few of my own. This game used quiet a bit of action script to recognize key strokes and match them to the variable names assigned to each of the falling bubbles.
White Blood Cells -- This game was also designed while I was teaching an Internet Programming course. The idea was to use a combination of random values and mouse coordinates to create a game that mimicked our immune system.
CD Interface -- This flash generated interface was designed to be used on a CD. The CD acted as a portfolio of a volleyball player. The volleyball player was from a small town that received little exposure when it came to university scouts. This product was delivered on small business card CD's and resulted in the student landing a full-ride scholarship. Note: This product does not have a true preloader designed for the web.
