DManD CodeKitchen Series 7: Digitize Motion

Visualize and animate with Motion Capture Data and 3D Studio Max   Taught by Sumbul Khan & Akash Vibhute | 5-7 PM, Wednesday August 17 | 1.611 ASD Computer Lab  Ever wondered how computer generated characters look so life-like in animation films? With motion capture systems, designers can digitize and recreate finely nuanced motion of humans, animals and objects. Current technology in motion capture systems offer comprehensive and precise […]

DManD CodeKitchen Series 6: Synthetic Bio-textures

Create micro and nano – natural surface patterns with bench-top PDMS molding Taught by Professor Hong Yee Low | 5-7 PM, Thursday August 11 | Teaching Lab 2.614-2.615  What makes a gecko’s feet so sticky? Or the butterflies colors so vivid? In nature, fine-geometrical patterns produces an amazing diversity of functions in the nature. With the emergence of nano-scale imaging procedures, materials, and fabrication techniques, researchers and designers alike have the ability to recreate these structures: to better understand their properties, or […]

CodeKitchen Series 5: Digital Foundry

Learn the basics of  high and low tech metal 3-D printing. Taught by: Kenneth Teo Desktop 3D printers and open-source design software allow anyone to make, customized objects: but these designs limited to plastics, and low-production prototyping. On the other hand, metal 3D printing, though less well-known, will soon emerge as a way to manufacturing production grade products in the near future. In this […]
