This is a pretty amazing showcase of what can be done with 3D art. I'm personally a fan of virtual 3D spaces that don't try to mimic real life and use the technology to broaden the range of experiences we can have.

The Spotlight is on New York Parks Department Computer Resource Center at the St. Mary’s Recreation Center. They are currently one of four organizations who are running NYSCI's Girls First Digital Studio curriculum. The program is being led by CRC educator Laira Reid who was very excited to bring the Girls First program to her youth! In the program, the girls are building virtual projects through a series of designed based challenges. Each project allows for the girls to really be creative and design something based on their personal interests. Ashley is working on a sculpture and stage for her performance area because she is really into dance and the performing arts!

I ordered the retro ice creams book… it releases tomorrow I think. It’s from the same series as my vintage food vending machines book.

I’m not sure what to call this hobby… it sort of… like… I’ve been slowly been interested in and collecting interior (japan and europe) and street view (mainly just japan) books (インテリア and 町並み and 背景/background drawing example books, one series is called 背景写真集 another older one is called 背景カタログ and then there are also some series of interior books) but also recently catalogues of 昭和 (basically 70’s and 80’s) era objects and foods from Japan… the main one being the 日本懐かしい「⚪︎⚪︎⚪︎」大全 series, but I’m also contemplating a series of retro gacha/gashapon books.

blah blah blah, anyway… I’ve always noticed how much Japanese animators and authors love to draw everyday scenes or even fantasy scenes borrowing from real life. That being the case makes me feel less weird about it? America is not obsessed with how America looks the same way that Japan is obsessed with how Japan looks, if that makes sense? (from my outside point of view, I mean). I also love how Europe looks too, by the way.

I think it’s because there are more textures and patterns and details (and actually, mismatched textures) closer together in Japan… hard to explain. The same textures exist in America but they are far apart, not close together, so you can’t take them all in at one time.

Town and city scenery is more visually “noisy” which is probably what attracts me. I love visual noise, if you’ve known me for a long time you know that about me. I like as much color and pattern and texture as possible.

Parts of Japan and Europe have small winding streets also in common and I love that too. I have heard other’s say the same, that after we visit Europe or Japan and return to America we feel a sense of loss… everything becomes big and stretched out and less textures. When I returned to America from Paris for the first time, driving on the highway I felt so tiny, it was weird. A similar thing happened when I got home from Japan.

Anyway, ever since getting back into Second Life (I’m on hiatus at the moment though) and I made textures and built an entire 7 eleven and roads and started to build a small town with a friend, I almost felt high. I felt so accomplished and I loved working with all of these textures in photoshop. I actually went outside and took photos of concrete and asphalt and other textures and spent hours cleaning them up and adding stains and moss and then carefully mapping them to my building shapes and I was just in absolute heaven.

This is also why I am so deeply in love with Yokai Watch and now Splatoon… these games are gorgeous to me and my dream job would be making textures for these types of games. Hyper realism in 3D space.

I seriously feel “in love” or high when I think about it or do it. I used to think I’d want to be a character designer but I really think I would rather be a world designer. I’m feeling emotional. lol
