Discipline

The disciplines involved in our collaborative work to produce the proposed High court of Australia by Harry Seidler in its final form in UT3 are:

Exterior modeling

Interior modeling

Internal texture mapping

External texture mapping

Surrounding landscape mapping

Building/landscape research

Video presentation

Lighting

Animation

Image manipulation

Sound

We have each assigned ourselves to a particular disciplines from those required above and will progress our areas as they become available from our teammates prior works e.g. V has done a great external model which she can pass on to the external texture mapper and also to the surrounding landscape mapper which can all finally be added into our video presentations in a more complete form.

We will focus on our individual tasks but due to the team nature of the project pass on our effort s to teammates to help them further theres which will ultimately culminate in our final product.

The use of collaboration amongst our tasks allows us to focus our skills on one area we are good at (or push ourselves to learn new areas of development)whilst our teammates work on there specialized areas and join them together as we progress and exchange skills.

We chose our disciplines via our group emails (with surprising ease, I expected more clashing for certain tasks) with most choosing things they knew they could accomplish but some also choosing to tackle a new task they had not yet attempted which will allow a good mix of productive work in our comfort zones along with some challenging new skill sets which will require some more time and energy and brain storming amongst team members.

My personal disciplines I will tackle involve texture mapping of surrounding landscapes (something I have not done to much of with my works usually involving an interior focus), video presentation (a skill I have done on both an educational and hobby level) and Sound (I have done a little bit on my previous video presentation work).

And lastly there will be a bit UT3 editing for all of us (with some choosing to tackle it as a main focus) which is totally new to me and yet another program I will try to cram into my brain!
