EXP 2: Week 4: Lecture Flow Graphs – Attach and Opacity

- Opacity Section -
In terms of the experimentation of opacity within experiment 2 I decided to perform such upon my sketch installation in the form of doors. Through placing various simple block doors in the transitions between the various planes of the installation I wished to identify the frequency at which the individual moves between these spaces, simply identified through the darkness of the doors at the end. The purpose of such experimentation with regards to my porosity lens exists in the field of identifying whether those with depression in fact through their systematic approach to everyday tasks subconsciously follow specific paths. Hence do they define their movement on the possible paths or the reason behind their moments, thus the task to be completed? However due to complex nature of this I have been unable to fully portray this in the limited video below; rather I have simply presented the general concept to perhaps allude to this notion within the final documentary through the rotations rather than opacity blocks.

To experiment with the attachment of entities to the local player within crysis, I decided to consider the manner in which our motion changes as more objects become attached. Thus I placed numerous custom white spheres created in Sketch Up all over the ground applying a flow graph and proximity trigger to ensure as the local player moves close they attach to him. Through such I discovered that initially the player moves at a normal velocity, however as the entities attach his movement is slowly restricted, interconnecting with porosity lens brief in terms of that as we move through life problems attach themselves to us, however it those without depression who simply let them go. While those suffering from depression remain attached, in sense forming a path through life as seen in the demonstration video above.
