Spent a week in the San Juan Islands up in Washington - very interesting place. Relevant to this discussion is that the islands seem to have an excellent "balance" in terms of level... todd 2008-07-11T18:36:41-08:00 http://interactive.usc.edu/members/todd/archives/009082.html Using a series of different cellular comparisons (none of them, on their own, particularly complex) I've thrown together a quick world simulator that models heat, wind, clouds, rain, and erosion, in roughly that order, in real time: I have a... todd 2008-06-26T12:06:24-08:00 http://interactive.usc.edu/members/todd/archives/008987.html A lot of woodcuts, monochromatic printing techniques, and indeed old rasters are simply one color, and simulate value by varying the width of the lines that pass through the image. I was curious how this would look in a realtime... todd 2008-04-24T11:05:52-08:00 http://interactive.usc.edu/members/todd/archives/008016.html Wonderfully strange night. The ocean tide was at one of its uncannily low points - I mean really low, you could almost wade out to the end of the pier. Also saw what must have been a late Perseid... todd 2007-08-28T12:16:20-08:00 http://interactive.usc.edu/members/todd/archives/007740.html Cliffs notes: Modeling the planetary motions in the night with reasonable accuracy given a date and location on the earth. From this, I can potentially create a number of different night skies in different solar systems (fictional or non).

With stereoscopic viewing, you need to be playing with the camera's view frustum a lot. Combine the math and coding behind the two dynamics, and you're able to take friggin' huge images.... todd 2007-03-23T22:29:24-08:00 http://interactive.usc.edu/members/todd/archives/007571.html todd 2007-03-23T01:31:48-08:00 http://interactive.usc.edu/members/todd/archives/007513.html Just rummaging through some old stuff - This one is ancient (from undergrad days, last millenium). To get an idea of how old this one is, I originally outputted to VHS. Better video codecs have made it a little more... todd 2007-03-01T22:17:36-08:00 http://interactive.usc.edu/members/todd/archives/007397.html Still a work in progress - the next stage is to revamp (or simply create) the artwork - the vast majority of what you see are temp assets.

First, a virtual world I've threw together learning how to use a prototype of a certain HMD, combined with a Polhemus motion/position tracker.

I'm working on separating out a program that will allow one to look at a city/creature individually, and make adjustments.
