Tutorial of Opacity Blocks

While I was doing this course, I tended to focus on the model and environment in crysis war sandbox. However, by performing this assignment I could obtain a good understanding of people’s interacting within places and architectures through some of flowgraphs Most of time was spent in researching other flowgraphs but they were not really specified on the websites I went. Still, I have found great tips while I was researching and helped me a lot in creating nice environment and inspiring the idea and aspect of this assignment.

The tutorial subject I have chosen is an opacity block flowgraph, that could show people’s movement as in a demographic. To understand and follow Opacity block flowgraph took awhile, even though it was given. That is why the tutorial is very long compare to others. I was impressed by looking at the screen which was showing what opacity block was in some lecture. So I thought I would use this for my assignment and made a tutorial for it. This tutorial will also show a different style of exporting sketchup model to sandbox2; We usually export the model after enable collision but not in this tutorial.

The opacity block flowgraph will generally present the movement of people as the block goes softer when people go through. This demonstrates which direction or place is frequent and which direction or place is rarely visited.

In EXP1 and EXP2 of my work, it has a few similar and different things. Both is explored in a wide open place and enviroment, but different thing is in EXP2, 3 factors are interacting together as in place, environment and people.

Through this tutorial, I have reviewed and learned many ideas and concept I should inscribe in my mind. Also, I noticed a lot of sense of interacting within people, environment and architecture and place. I hope the tutorial I made will help to understand the concept of this experiment.
