The Talking Walls: May 2008
http://thetalkingwalls-news.blogspot.com/2008_05_01_archive.html
Tuesday, May 6, 2008. The prototype was of Dunster Castle. A National Trust property, near Minehead in Somerset, this pilot will be of Beaulieu Abbey. In Hampshire. The Abbey was a Cistercian monastry, the largest built in the UK, and provided a working life for many people as well as the monks that were based there, during and after it had been built, a process that took several years. Pontigny Abbey. In France is the closest example in size and style, and is luckily, still standing in most of it's glory.

Tuesday, June 10, 2008. Building Beaulieu Abbey - Revit Architecture 2008. For the last few days I have been working on Beaulieu Abbey using Autodesk's Revit Architecture 2008. The software is the ideal tool for creating 3D buildings whether old or new, and the Abbey is certainly proving its capability for old. I have a floor plan and artistic sketch to guide the way the building used to look before it was torn down in the 1500s. These are by an authority on Beaulieu Abbey, Harold Brakspeare. Monday, Jun...

The Talking Walls: December 2008
http://thetalkingwalls-news.blogspot.com/2008_12_01_archive.html
Saturday, December 27, 2008. How many people I wonder, have spent a fair bit of the Christmas holiday watching the television or playing computer games as opposed to reading? How many have taken video footage of their family unwrapping presents as opposed to photos that catch just a moment in time? Which of the images above holds your gaze the longest? Are we really surprised that the majority are more stimulated by a moving image than a static one? The moving image (animation) brings things to life help...

The Talking Walls: August 2008
http://thetalkingwalls-news.blogspot.com/2008_08_01_archive.html
Thursday, August 14, 2008. The above image has been created with Papervision3D by Den Ivanov. And can be viewed on his website. It is a lovely piece of work and shows some of what Papervision3D can achieve. As for the 3D modelling aspect of Papervision3D, we are able to bypass this part of the coding, as we have Swift3D. Papervision3D /Flash will import 3D content from either Swift3D or Max, using Collada. As the export from Max, and Papervision3D export from Swift3D. If anyone reading this knows the add...

The Talking Walls: May 2009
http://thetalkingwalls-news.blogspot.com/2009_05_01_archive.html
Thursday, May 14, 2009. About to go live. The Talking Walls - Beaulieu Abbey' application is almost ready to go live. We are just waiting for final approval from Beaulieu and then we can make the website live, such good news. It has been almost a year of part-time hours in the making, fitting in the commercial training, PhD and normal day to day life. A very full year. Obviously my family for the same reason and then there are the 'helpers' who have helped create this application. They are:. Currently st...

The Talking Walls: March 2008
http://thetalkingwalls-news.blogspot.com/2008_03_01_archive.html
Monday, March 24, 2008. This is one of several sites I have come across during my research. It is full of links to all kinds of articles but more importantly the description of the term Creative Generalist. Is what caught my attention. Would I then know how to use it for graphic design, print, web, textures for 3D or just for one or two of them, or even none, or would I just know what it could do? Therefore, surely most that consider themselves as Masters, are probably jack of all trades as well? The Mic...

The Talking Walls: September 2009
http://thetalkingwalls-news.blogspot.com/2009_09_01_archive.html
Wednesday, September 9, 2009. Steventon Rectory (Parsonage) rebuilt. The above is a cel shaded anim of just the Rectory (Parsonage taken from the original 3D file of the demo and passed through Swift 3D. Initially with the idea of creating an interactive Papervision3D. File so that users can rotate it and explore the building. Unfortunately, due to the building having been created in Autodesk Revit Architecture. And then exported to Autodesk 3DS Max. Below are the sketches in question:. These two images ...
