Week 5 Studio Tasks

• Get your tutor to check your Draft Grid layout for your A1 poster.

• Things you will need to set up and have available to be able to do today's tutorial:
• FileZilla
  
• Download FileZilla: http://filezilla-project.org/
• Once you've installed Filezilla, go to File>Site Manager, create a new site (call it anything you want, but I suggest arch1390@architecturalcomputing.com), and use the following settings:
• host: ftp.architecturalcomputing.com
  Port: 21 (leave blank in FileZilla)
  Server Type: FTP - File Transfer Protocol
  Logon Type: Normal
  User: arch1390@architecturalcomputing.com
  Password: arch1390
• 
• Yahoo
  • If you don't already have a Yahoo account, you will need to Register an account to be able to use Yahoo Pipes:
  • http://au.yahoo.com/
• Google Maps or Google Earth
• http://maps.google.com.au/
• URL Encode
• http://www.opinionatedgeek.com/dotnet/tools/urlencode/Encode.aspx
• Tiny URL to generate short URL
• http://tinyurl.com/
• The lattitude and Longitude Co-ordinates of one of the corners of your "site" which is closest to the university walk.
  
• In decimal format.
  
• Complete Josh Harle's "Setting up a 3D object in Layar with the geoRSS Layer" tutorial:
• http://vimeo.com/12842109

• Use one of your low poly models (under 5000 poly triangles) for the 3D object.
• At the 6 minute mark in the tutorial, where he asks you to upload to a server use FileZilla, with the settings above to connect to the FTP site (or use any FTP Client that you would like).
• Post the link to your POI (point of interest) that you created by following Josh Harle's tutorial. Post an image of your POI as displayed in the map view (as in the image below):
• 

• Based on the Tips and Tricks from the lecture notes, create at least 2 versions of your habitat/environment. A high polygon version, for visualisations to include in your poster, and a low polygon model (polys > 5000), to be linked to the Layar Augmented Reality Browser.

• Continue to develop your habitat, using your chosen Architect and the two buildings you have posted to your blog as an influence to refining your environments.
