Experimenting with Augmented Reality

Augmented Reality - is overlaying virtual objects on physical objects seen through a camera. A more concise definition is: Augmented Reality (AR), also known as “Mixed Reality” is where virtual and real objects appear together in a real time system. Source: www.artag.net

For 2 weeks a couple of months ago or so, I’ve been testing the AR system I downloaded from the above source to be used on my own 3D objects. To make it more fun, I created an avatar of myself: a box figure (which looks like the paper box figure I created of myself). I managed to understand and change the config file so my virtual objects can be recognized by the system, and I successfully “tag” it with a marker. See above test.

I hope to understand it better to make my own AR game.

Girl on couch

I had a go at "copying" another Kent Williams painting - "Girl on couch". Learnt a lot from studying his work - his palette, composition and balance. Love his work!! Here's my version :) 30"x30", oil on canvas.

A close-up of the face.

Here's Kent William's original "Girl on couch".

Tuesday's figure drawing

Scans from the last fig drawing session, from the 1-3 mins to the 5-10 mins poses.

Mononoke

So charmed by the Mononoke series. The anime resembles moving ukiyo-e prints, I highly plug it!

Giving my artwork for charity

Hi, just a warning to all members here to be careful and not just give artwork freely because they get emails or calls and asking for "contribution" for "charity" and they like your work alot.

Ask yourself:

1. Who is this person in charge?

2. What is this person's fulltime job?

2. What is their real agenda?

3. Who are the beneficiaries?

I don't have a fixed income nor a fixed salary- so my time is precious and only meant for putting food on the table and helping those who really need my help.

We are struggling artists and illustrators. Our work is worth something.

OIC Figure Drawing 9 June 2009

Yesterday was not only my first OIC figure drawing session, it was my first figure drawing session ever. So I was totally unprepared for the break neck speed of the 1 min to 3 min warm-up poses. I think I'll spare everyone the "exercise in futility" of the initial incomplete lines and cut straight to the more relaxing 5 min to 10 min poses heh... Thanks again to organisers and participants alike! Saw some really cool renderings yesterday, hope to see the rest of the group post them up! :)

Photoshop

"I saved the day."

tech question>>I scanned in the image at 1oo dpi , but not sure why the image is still so small when clicked on the thumbnail,hence the words looked so small. but when I see it in photoshop at 100%, it looked alright. Anybody knows why?What's the best practice?.tks

Melbourne Portrait Day turned Sketchwalk.

I was trying to coordinate an OIC Portrait Day in Melbourne yesterday so we could have it both in Singapore and Melbourne at the same time, but weather circumstances conspired against us. (sorry, no photos because i forgot to bring the camera :X)

No one sat outside because it was so cold, and we weren't allowed to do it inside because we'd be "disturbing the patrons", so we took portrait day to Carlton Gardens. And... again, because it was so frosty, no one stopped to pose for us except this lady. :D



But she was the only one. :X By then we were freezing our fingers off and decided to head to an indoors cafe to sketch people instead (trying to keep to the portrait day theme)







A friend showed his portrait to the gentleman he was drawing, and he treated us to beer and coffee in exchange for the drawing. :D

After that, a bit of sketchwalking in the city and stopped because it was too cold to continue. I headed back towards my place to do some more drawing and was joined by this Korean girl, who watched me draw this shop. She mentioned she used to draw as well, so I passed some of my cardboards to her and we both drew until it started drizzling.



and that was the failed attempt at Portrait Day in Melbourne. :P

PS: the cardboard was from the remnants of a box i used to make a sign for portrait day. was gonna post that up as well, but it has "gone with the wind".

Yes!! another 37 artists!!! Sat @ MAAD

We had a real good time- some highlights:

More drawings were posted :), among the many sitters we drew a pair of identical Korean twins, our loyal supporter Diff & Albert ( and sister ) and also a very good DJ friend I respect, someone drop by from Lucas & Esplanade Baybeats, Twisstii silkscreened a laptop!!, our neighbour is Nana Roomisn's show, welcome back- Syafid, Jo and Kersheng!! Good to see Suzy and also Sokkuan!!

BTW........... AnnGee was having a sketch walk concurrently in Melbourne!! Look out for her post!!

view more pictures here and more pics here.

Thanks to MrB, Twisstii, Clara, Beatriz, Adeline, Kenny, Flee, SanSan, Lyn Chiam for helping out!!
