Chess Piece sizes

Rules for chess pieces to board size:   The base diameter of the king should fall within a range of 68% to 75% of the square size.  For example, if you have a 2.25" board (each square is 2.25" x 2.25" or 57.1mm x 57.1mm) then the chess pieces you choose should have a king's base diameter of 2.25 x (0.68) to 2.25 x (0.75) which = 1.53" (38.9mm) to 1.687" (42.9mm) in diameter.


What we are working with:

Chessboard Square Tile - 40mm a side, this means no piece and be wider then 36mm


king - 75mm tall

queen - 70mm tall


bishop - 60mm tall

kinght - 50mm tall

rook - 45mm tall

pawn - 40mm tall

Special pieces - 65mm tall


*All pieces are 14mm thick




Preparing your chess pieces for printing

1) open Makerware

2) Click on 'Prepare' and "Add File" to import your .STL's to the print bed

3) Use the 'Move' tool to separate the models from each other
* remember any models that are touching will be printed as a single unite

4) Use the 'Scale' too to resize the 3d models to the proper size
a- scale the piece to the proper hight and width. Set the model at the correct hight and adjust for the width if necessary.
b- the 'Z' axis should be 14mm thick. Unclick 'uniform scaling' to change just one axis

5) Use 'Save to Library' to save your .Thing file to the desktop 

6) Change your 'Settings'
Resolution - Low(Faster)
Infill - 8%
# of Shells - 2
Layer Height - .30 mm


7) Export Print File
- Take a screen shot of the Export Info and keep it with your .x3g file. You will hand in both to me.

8) Show Joe your .Thing, .x3g & Export Info screen shot to be approved for printing and transfer to the SD card. Your files should be labeled with your first name and last initial ie.. joevs.thing

The 3d extrusion process

the concept: to translate a 2 dimensional image into a 3 dimension print.


the process:
1) Find an image
- pay attention to how the image stands. You need enough of a flat bottom on the image to keep the 3d model standing upright

- look for simple images, the image will be translated into black and white (literally)


2) Photoshop (used to translate the image into black and white with a transparent background)
- Threshold - to turn the image into just black and white
-- this can be done many times using duplicate layers

- Look for floating black shaped. The black areas are the areas the will be printed. Make sure all black shapes touch other black shapes.

- While having a clear background layer. Using the Magic Wand to select the white parts of the image. Make sure "contiguous" is un checked.

- Delete the white areas

- Image Size to 400 pixels on the longest side

- Save for Web as a PNG 24 with transparency



3) Flash (used to translate the bitmap into a vector) 
- Open Flash 
-- Under Create New pick "Actionscript 2.0"

- File --> Import to the Stage --> pick you PNG

- Fit the PNG to the stage if the stage is too small, goto Modify Document and make it bigger

- Modify --> Bitmap --> Trace Bitmap 

- Select All and pick the color black in the color picker

- Export the Image as an Adobe FXG

- Use Save As to save the image as a .FLA



4) Illustrator (to save the file as the correct file format)
- Open Illustrator

- Use File Open to open your .FXG file

- Adjust the Art Board if necessary using the "Artboard Tool"

- Use Save As to save your file as an SVG



5) 123D Design (used to extrude the vector image into the 3rd dimension)
- Open 123D Design, click the red button to close the startup panel 

- Use "Import SVG" to pull you SVG file into 123D Design

- Under "Construct" use the "Extrude Tool"
-- click on you image and pull it up.

- Use "Export STL" to make your 3d ready file

Alternative Chess Pieces

Tiger - moves 2 spaces diagonally, when attacking moves back to original spot - Dominique

Lion - Move 2 steps or jumps per turn in any adjacent direction. It can capture up to two pieces per turn, capture an adjacent piece without moving (stationary feeding), or move and return (effectively passing a turn). -Olivia

Tone General - Moves one square diagonally forward. - Aliana

Berolina Pawn - like a pawn but can also capture one step orthogonally to the side. - Carolina

Dog - move one square directly forward, or diagonally backward. - Will

Bug-Eyed Monster - Can jump to any square which would not be reachable by any orthodox chess piece. - Maddy

Hunter - Moves forward as a rook (along a file), and backward as a bishop (on diagonals). - Melijah

Grasshopper -  A hopper which moves along the same lines as a queen and lands on the square immediately beyond that of the hurdle. - Sal
Gryphon - Moves one square diagonally followed by moving any number of spaces like a rook outwards - Tara

Zebra - Jumps one square orthogonally followed by two squares diagonally outwards. - Tyler

Nightrider - A rider which moves any number of knight moves in the same direction in a straight line. The Nightrider can not move any further in that direction once it captures a piece. - Chris P

Giraffe - Jumps one square diagonally followed by three squares orthogonally. - Matt

Gorgon - The Gorgon moves as a chess queen. At the end of its move, any enemy piece that is on a square adjacent to the Gorgon is frozen in place, and can not move away until the Gorgon moves away or is captured. The Gorgon can never move to an occupied square and can not capture pieces. If two Gorgons move next to each other, they are both frozen until the end of the game or until one is captured. An immobilized piece may commit suicide, e.g., to open a line of attack. This action counts as a move. - Jubie

Flying Falcon -Bishop that can step one square forward. - Amber


Amazon - Combines the powers of the queen and the knight. - Jenny

3d Design & 3d Printing

 
3d printing has been used by industry since the mid 1980's. It is used to print everything from food to human tissue to guns.

Our Makerbot Replicator 2 works through additive manufacturing. This is accomplished by laying down thin layers of plastic, one on top of the other, to build up a 3d structure.

Virtual models can be built in 3d software programs or captured with a 3d scanner or digital camera.

Time based Media

John Whitney's

John Whitney created his amazing visuals through the manipulation of his analog computer/film camera device. He built the device by using the pieces from a WWII anti-aircraft gun sight. One of his most famous works created on his device was the animated title sequence from Alfred Hitchcock's 1958 film Vertigo, which he collaborated on with the graphic designer Saul Bass.

Film & Stop motion Animation = sequence images through time.

- FPS (frames per second) or frame rate is the number of images that are shown in a seconds worth of time.


Traditional film = 24 FPS

Traditional animation = 12 FPS
Digital film = 30 - 60 FPS
Modern animation = 12 - 30 FPS

Which means 1 minute of

Digital Video Resolution



Camera Angles, Movement and POV


Camera Angle

Eye Level
  • An eye-level shot is the most basic type of shot and involves simply picking up a camera or video recorder and taking a straight-on, eye-level photograph. This technique is the most common shot used by photographers, seen in many casual pictures, such as family photos or vacation shots.
High Angle

  • A high-angle shot involves taking a photograph from someplace above a subject at a diagonal angle. This type of angle may make a subject look smaller or even childlike.
Low Angle (Worms Eye)

  • A low-angle shot is the opposite of the high-angle shot. In a low-angle shot, the photographer is below the subject and takes a photograph looking up at the subject. This angle is often used to make a subject appear larger, taller or more powerful.
Bird's Eye

  • This type of shot is similar to the high-angle shot in that the photographer is situated above the subject. However, unlike a high-angle shot, a bird's eye shot looks straight on at a subject rather than using an angle. This type of shot is used to achieve very dramatic images.
Slanted

  • A slanted shot, or dutch tilt, is where the camera is tilted to the side to give the horizon a unique, angled appearance. This is a popular shot for movie stills and in magazines as it portrays a hip, edgy feeling in the photograph


Camera Point of View (POV)

Close-Ups
  • A close-up (abbreviated "CU") is when the camera focuses on just one character's face or other part of him, taking up the entire frame. These shots are used often when a character is talking, because it puts the viewer in an almost face-to-face context. When the camera zooms directly into part of a person's face or body, so that the frame shows nothing but his body, this is an extreme close-up, or ECU. Going in the opposite direction, a medium close-up (MCU) is halfway between a standard CU and a mid-shot--which shows part of the scene and the subject.
Wide Shots
  • Wide Shots (WS) give a great view of the entire area your subject is standing in, and you can see the person's entire body against the backdrop of his setting. As the camera zooms out, making the person almost unrecognizable but giving a good view of the entire area, it becomes a VWS, or very wide shot. Finally, an extreme wide shot (EWS) takes the camera out so that you can't even see the subject, but gives the viewer a clear picture of where the viewer is supposed to be--these are generally used as establishing shots. VWS are generally taken from cranes, so they're sometimes called crane shots, and EWS can be taken from helicopters and called aerial shots.
Multiple People Shots.
  • Conversations between two people require a special camera angle to capture the intimacy of the conversations. A two shot (TS) is the most common way to show conversation: place both subjects in the same mid-shot. The next most familiar style is the over-the-shoulder shot, or OSS, which looks at the talking subject from the listener's perspective, quite literally over his shoulder. Some camera operators also set up the noddy shot, which is most common in interviews, and is taken from the perspective of the interviewee.
POV
  • The first-person perspective is a useful way to put the audience almost directly in the character's shoes. The POV shot is pretty much what the character would see--as if she is actually holding the camera herself. POV, meaning point-of-view, shots are often used to heighten the intensity of a scenario.
Weather Shots
  • If the subject is the weather itself, it is referred to as a weather shot. These images give the viewer a moment's reprieve from the action or drama of the film as well as establishing what's going on in the world around them. If the weather is wet and rainy, that will affect the mood of the film overall; a bright, shiny day on the other hand lightens the mood.


Camera Movement

1. Pans
  • A movement which scans a scene horizontally. The camera is placed on a tripod, which operates as a stationary axis point as the camera is turned, often to follow a moving object which is kept in the middle of the frame.
2. Tilts
  • A movement which scans a scene vertically, otherwise similar to a pan.
3. Dolly Shots
  • Sometimes called TRUCKING or TRACKING shots. The camera is placed on a moving vehicle and moves alongside the action, generally following a moving figure or object. Complicated dolly shots will involve a track being laid on set for the camera to follow, hence the name. The camera might be mounted on a car, a plane, or even a shopping trolley (good method for independent film-makers looking to save a few dollars). A dolly shot may be a good way of portraying movement, the journey of a character for instance, or for moving from a long shot to a close-up, gradually focusing the audience on a particular object or character.
4. Hand-held shots
  • The hand-held movie camera first saw widespread use during World War II, when news reporters took their windup Arriflexes and Eyemos into the heat of battle, producing some of the most arresting footage of the twentieth century. After the war, it took a while for commercially produced movies to catch up, and documentary makers led the way, demanding the production of smaller, lighter cameras that could be moved in and out of a scene with speed, producing a "fly-on-the-wall" effect.This aesthetic took a while to catch on with mainstream Hollywood, as it gives a jerky, ragged effect, totally at odds with the organized smoothness of a dolly shot. The Steadicam (a heavy contraption which is attached a camera to an operator by a harness. The camera is stabilized so it moves independently) was debuted in Marathon Man (1976), bringing a new smoothness to hand held camera movement and has been used to great effect in movies and TV shows ever since. No "walk and talk" sequence would be complete without one. Hand held cameras denote a certain kind of gritty realism, and they can make the audience feel as though they are part of a scene, rather than viewing it from a detached, frozen position.
5. Crane Shots
  • Basically, dolly-shots-in-the-air. A crane (or jib), is a large, heavy piece of equipment, but is a useful way of moving a camera - it can move up, down, left, right, swooping in on action or moving diagonally out of it. The camera operator and camera are counter-balanced by a heavy weight, and trust their safety to a skilled crane/jib operator.
6. Zoom Lenses
  • A zoom lens contains a mechanism that changes the magnification of an image. On a still camera, this means that the photographer can get a 'close up' shot while still being some distance from the subject. A video zoom lens can change the position of the audience, either very quickly (a smash zoom) or slowly, without moving the camera an inch, thus saving a lot of time and trouble. The drawbacks to zoom use include the fact that while a dolly shot involves a steady movement similar to the focusing change in the human eye, the zoom lens tends to be jerky (unless used very slowly) and to distort an image, making objects appear closer together than they really are. Zoom lenses are also drastically over-used by many directors (including those holding palmcorders), who try to give the impression of movement and excitement in a scene where it does not exist. Use with caution - and a tripod!
7. The Aerial Shot
  • An exciting variation of a crane shot, usually taken from a helicopter. This is often used at the beginning of a film, in order to establish setting and movement. A helicopter is like a particularly flexible sort of crane - it can go anywhere, keep up with anything, move in and out of a scene, and convey real drama and exhilaration — so long as you don't need to get too close to your actors or use location sound with the shots.

description:
For this project you will appropriate images you find online through the process outlined below. The images and text you appropriate will be used to create a cover for an LP. This project is an exploration of appropriation, manipulation & layout and design. We will consider the meaning attached to images through context and our own expectations created through societal influence.

When manipulating your images in Photoshop, try using all the different tools in the tool bar (except the Slice tool and the History brush). See if you can figure out how to do something beyond what I have covered. Part of idea behind this project is to help you discover Photoshop on your own and also to help make you feel secure in just picking up a program and playing instead of being a afraid to try.

When downloading images for this project, Make sure you download the full size image!
Make sure to save your work often. Use the 'Save As' option to save a duplicate of your file (just change the file name). When you are finished with your image go to File --> Save for Web , and save your image as a JPEG, 100% quality. Do not check any other boxes. Save your images using this naming convention: yourname_01.jpg, yourname_02.jpg. (ie... jvonstengel_01.jpg)


The Process
1 - Go to "wikipedia." Hit “random... ”
The first random wikipedia article you get is the name of your band.

2 - Go to "Random quotations"
The last four or five words of the very last quote of the page is the title of your first album.

3 - Go to flickr and click on “explore the last seven days”
Third picture, no matter what it is, will be your album cover.

4 - Use Photoshop to put it all together.

5 - Create 10 different Album Covers

6- Save your designs as explained above

6- Hand them in to Joe on your USB thumb drive
