June 2009 “Virtual archeology game”
See the demoFor this project I was looking at Interactive and Immersive Virtual Artworks.
I focused on virtual sculpting tools. Indeed I wanted to virtually reproduce the symbolic gesture of a hammer on the stone. I realized that today many artists are actually using computer for their creative artwork, using software such as Maya, Google sketchup… but those softwares are quite difficult to use. You really need to have computer skills. Another thing is that they are mostly additive: the sculptor adds material to create a mesh. Whereas, sculpting is traditionally negative : Leonardo de Vince used to say that he was just unveiling what was inside the stone.
