Engineering

For the Holiday Season Challenge, I thought of creating some animating (flying) snowflakes. So I started with creating one piece of snow. My idea is that this snow should fall from about 30 meters above ground. It should fall with some acceleration but not to fast because it is light. It should also spin a little while falling. For an easy beginning, I used a scaled rectangle to be the snow. If this works, this snow can be easily transformed into a more beautiful snowflake, and it can be multiplied to create many falling snowflakes.

There are many design challenges set in the Furniture Visualisation Challenges page. I am very happy to be the first one to take on the first challenge. 

I chose the first furniture (Vika Byske Table) from the design challeges page. Because the dimemsions were already provided, there was no need to design this table. All I need was to follow the dimemsions given and try to create in the VRMath2 Editor. 

What if the world is a Mobius ring? Then would this man even walk to the end of the world?

A normal wrist band has inside and outside faces. If we cut the band, twist it 180 degrees then reconnect the band, then we have created a Mobius ring (or Mobius strip). A Mobius ring has only 1 face. You can observe the man walking continuously on the inside to outside, then inside, and outside again and again.....   

This is another test of animation in VRMath2. The construction of the man utilises basic 3D primitives including sphere, cone, sylinder, and cube. It is basically a trial and error approach to scale and apply material settings onto those 3D primitive objects. 

Animation is then applied to the arms and legs by careful considerations about their positions and orientations of movements.
