501 Web 3-D and e-Learning: Why the Tipping Point for Web 3-D is Now Cary Harr, Booz Allen Hamilton August 13 & 14, 2009 Produced by Designing and Managing Learning in 3-D Virtual Worlds and Immersive Environments Designing and Managing Learning in 3-D Virtual Worlds and Immersive Environments August 13 & 14, 2009 Web 3D and e-Learning Why the Tipping Point for Web 3D is Now! Cary Harr Portions Adapted from the Booz Allen Kaizen Series: “Not Your Parents’ 3D” Image by Victoria Veluz Booz | Allen | Hamilton What I am hoping you take away from this presentation: • Basic 3D Terminology and Concepts • An Introduction to Persistent/Non-Persistent Virtual Worlds • An Introduction to Web 3D Technologies • Web 3D Examples (Both Instructional and Entertainment) • Case Studies: Web 3D Technical Advantages and Drawbacks Booz | Allen | Hamilton Session 501 – Web 3-D and e-Learning: Why The Tipping Point for Web 3-D is Now - Cary Harr, Booz Allen Hamilton Page 1 Designing and Managing Learning in 3-D Virtual Worlds and Immersive Environments August 13 & 14, 2009 Poll Question #1 Booz | Allen | Hamilton Speaking in the Third Dimension • • • • • • • • Environments Lights Cameras Models (Organic/Inorganic) Polygons Textures Render Persistent & Non-Persistent VWs Booz | Allen | Hamilton Session 501 – Web 3-D and e-Learning: Why The Tipping Point for Web 3-D is Now - Cary Harr, Booz Allen Hamilton Page 2 Designing and Managing Learning in 3-D Virtual Worlds and Immersive Environments August 13 & 14, 2009 Setting the Stage Basic 3D Environments Contain: Models – These can be buildings, trees, terrain and props Lights – To give lighting to the environment Cameras – To capture images and animations www.multimediabychris.com www.multimediabychris.com Booz | Allen | Hamilton Where do models come from? Models can be purchased or can be developed using a variety of software packages. The decision to buy or develop is based on the following questions: 1. Do the models already exist? 2. What is the purpose of the model? (Real-Time use vs. Rendered) 3. Does the cost to buy outweigh the cost to build? 3D Software Modeling Packages (used by PIXAR, Industrial Light and Magic, and Gentle Giant Studios): 3D Studio Max Cinema 4D ZBrush Maya Blender Booz | Allen | Hamilton Session 501 – Web 3-D and e-Learning: Why The Tipping Point for Web 3-D is Now - Cary Harr, Booz Allen Hamilton Page 3 Designing and Managing Learning in 3-D Virtual Worlds and Immersive Environments August 13 & 14, 2009 Organic vs. Inorganic Models Organic Examples: -Monsters -Facial Features -Clothing -Landscapes -Pumpkins In-Organic Examples: -Lego Men -Tomb Stones -Weapons -Basement Dungeons Organic Stats: -Free Forms -Non-Symmetrical -Irregular Contours -Soft Surfaces -Resembling Nature In-Organic Stats: -Industrial Forms -Symmetrical -Rigid -Hard Surfaces -Machine Made -Industrial VS.
