Class 7: Scale

                      In this exercise I will scale an image using the program GIMP.

                                                    Here is the Ball Before Scaling

Here I have opened up the scale tool and will scale it down 50%

                                                    I have scaled down about 50%

                                              The scaled down image in GIMP.

Final 5c: My Customized Java Game

Here I chose my picture from the BC directory because it was already the correct size. I added the Immersive ED image the same way.

                                        Next I changed Snake and turtle to Person and iED in the coding section.

Here are a couple of screenshots of my game while it is running.

Final #4: High Resolution Avatar

I made a detailed avatar using the MakeHuman software. With this software you can make an avatar for various virtual worlds. I selected second life for the world I would use mine in. 

Next I chose clothes, shoes and hair from the menus above the avatar, 

I changed the shirt.

Then I chose which eyelashes I wanted.

Final #3: Group 3D Building Project

My job in the group building project is to build a pool and patio.
                 
                                                    I selected which stone I wanted.

Then I built the patio.

Next I built the Pool with aqua colored blocks. 

This is a group project to build a house on Meshmoon. It is a final exercise from the Immersive Education course that I am taking at Boston College. The course is called Discovering Computer Graphics. For details, visit the immersive BC portal at http://ImmersiveEducation.org/@/bc

WebGL Chrome Experiments that FAIL IN FIREFOX

Saving Nemo and WebGL Terrain loaded more slowly than they did on Chrome but once loaded they worked fine.

The Farm was very problematic and it would not load. Once in the game you are prompted with an instruction to press your mouse/trackpad in order to disable it and enable WASD keys for movement within the game. You press escape to return to your computer. When The Farm was loading on Firefox it stopped at 18% but also disabled my mouse and my cursor disappeared. 

"The Farm" is a FIREFOX FAIL

Testing Classmates Experiments: As  of 5:30pm 11/20 these are all of the experiments chosen and the results in firefox. Most froze up when I opened them but a few worked fine. 

JS Racing-Did not Work-Froze my computer

Find Your Way to Oz-Worked in Standard not HD

City of Drones-Would not work

Racer S-Would not load

The Web Copter- Would not Load

Over the Hills-Would not load

4ir Pucks-Would not Load

Car Visualizer Classics-Worked Fine

WebGL Chrome Experiments using Google's Chrome Browser

Below are screenshots from the three WebGL Web Experiments I chose as high quality examples for this assignment.

1. The first is called WebGL Terrain: WebGL Terrain
This program has very high quality graphics and ran great on my computer.
The first screenshot shows the program when you first open it, and the second shows it when you push the N key for night/day and the M key to make the terrain move.

2. This program is called farm: Farm WebGL

It took a very long time to load, but it is a high quality interactive program. It feels like a console based video game and I was very impressed with it. 

3. Saving Nemo: Saving Nemo Game

This is  Web based game. The point is to shoot the bubbles around the fish to save them from floating away. I was impressed with the quality of the game though I did have to reload twice for all of the graphics to load.
