Earlier this week, Zhenyi and I submitted a paper on the work we’ve been iterating over the past few months. I think we were successful in writing something significantly more polished than our first iteration of the paper, which, I believe, needed more time to be developed into something more focused and concise. Based on
For those of you who have been keeping up with my other posts about the 3D model I have been working on, this is the next installation in that series 😊. So, after I was more or less happy with the look of my character, and after moving it between Maya and Zbrush a couple

It’s fun to see things come together and look nice but I’m frustrated by the limitations of

In Fall 2013 I started putting interactive diagrams into the on-line course notes for my computer graphics class. Then in early 2014 I began the Chalktalk project which lets me sketch shapes, which then transform into interactive graphical elements. So I ended up being in two different programming worlds. One was for on-line course notes,
