Exquisite Body
Description
Team: Austin, Qiaochu(Grace), Zhijun Exchange Part:
Upper: Zhijun
Mid Body: Austin
Lower:Grace
In this project, I picked up the body part from Austin's Eagle and legs
from Grace's little devil, putting together and making this exquisite
body.
Stories: Mine is just a unisex image of a human. Austin's drawing is
started as a tree then growing into an eagle.
Design Process
The first idea that came to me was just to draw a naked body, a unisex
figure. Then after this collage, I put all three people's parts together
and create this human-like creature.
Through key press，it can control the mouse open and close. As I want to
reflect on the current pandemic situation, I used the virus motif that I
drew for another game in this sketch. Every time, this figure opens his
mouth, it will spit out viruses and transfer them in that space until
they died out.
I also added a mouse moving function so that when we move the mouse, its
legs will get crazy, shaking and walking And the body is pointillism
through pixel[] function filling the color into several circles.
All these three parts are animated with mouse position and keypress
function.
Reflection
I was at first very interested in making a magnifying effect with cursor moment since I use pixel function to load images for the mid-body part. Then I found it is different from Openframeworks ways to load in vector. However, this simple mouse movement is enough for now. I then created this weird human-looked creature. I really thank for the guys in my groups, providing me with such adorable drawings.
