It's been a long time and I stop working on this material.
However, I practiced drawing and coding, behind this lost art, to build a pixar portfolio. Conceived and produced a product ready to navigate via DVD on desktop screen (windows and mac). This offline-production was built to collect pixar movie-artworks among sketches and 3D textured-models transformed in Interactive Virtual Reality (VR). Also, I developed a basic videogame based on characters of Toy Story
As the main theme was based on Pixar, I couldn't help but make 3d characters, like for example Mr.Potato (the others characters like Walle and Car were built by my school peers). Moreover, I wanted to make possible for the user to move them in any directions thanks to Virtual Reality Technology at that time
See iCostore project or my thesis at the Academy of Fine Art for more projects about QTVR technology or 3D interactive design
The conception and the design process started from the idea of obtaining a product with a futuristic Look & Feel. The aim of the project was to collect some sample projects and distribute them according to some categories.
Within the perimeter of 3D production I produced Toys models with the possibility of interacting with them by pressing the mouse or the remote control depending on whether the DVD Showcase present was reproduced by a computer or a television.
The study of the interaction involved the field of programming in the perimeter of the Front End. Once designed, the interface was in fact manipulated in such a way as to animate it at the user's command. The architecture of the portfolio was determined by the technology used in such a way as to make it compatible when launched on television screens
The result of the processing was conveyed into a DVD that could be reproduced when it was inserted into the CD players of televisions or computers. This Portfolio was one of my first offline interactive projects; however the feeling obtained has nevertheless carried out the task of creating an immersive and intriguing interaction
Packaging could not be missing in order to present the product in the hand. In fact the portfolio was burned to a DVD disc. While the box and the DVD itself have been wrapped in dedicated graphics to represent the style of the portfolio
