I submitted my final bit of assessment today! And that’s it !

Granted I passed everything, I’ll graduate on the 10th of december.

For the final report, please visit http://www.tenfiftyfour.com/aAVis/reflection/

I’ll update this blog if there is every any new news about aAVis.  Big thanks to the following people :

Wonko, Dekker, Sojamo, Fry and Reas,  and many more, I just can’t think straight at the moment.  It’s been a busy semester!

My good friend Ben Bradford [ http://www.benjbradford.com ] just sent me some photos he took at our expo. So here you are, aAVis in the flesh.

So the expo was last night. Lonnng night and I’m incredibly tired now ( Got a 2500 word essay to write that I’ve been putting off, and putting off - ugh ). However I thought I should do a quick wrap up.

The presentation went relatively well - though there wern’t nearly as many industry people there as I would have thought. I got approached by two or so industry people who seemed interested in what I was doing, got given one card, and the other guy I’ll get in touch with later ( I know him, so it wont be hard ). It seemed like most of the people there were parents, and most people seemed to think that aAVis was merely a visualisation - not a tool for *creating* visualisations. So I had to sit by the exhibit all night to ensure people knew what it was, and how it worked. Ended up creating a few presets on the night. A few merely to show what it could do - and one towards the end which I was actually quite pleased with!

Here’s a few screenshots :

And the one I’m most pleased with :

The Pictures don’t really do them justice, I’ll try to get a video up sometime tomorrow - though the new motion blur I’ve added has issues with the video capturing method I’m using - so I might turn it off for them. Furthermore, my friend ben took some Photos, so hopefully I should get some of those in the days to come.

All in all, I think the night went well, and it was nice to see aAVis playing on a projector screen for the whole night. Didn’t crash once! Beautiful!

What’s next on the plate ? Well I’ve got that essay, an exam, two more essays, and then I graduate ( hopefully, fingers crossed! ). I’ll attempt to package aAVis up into a format that most people can enjoy and use. After that , I’m going to whip up a website portfolio at www.tenfiftyfour.com so I can show off some of the work I did throughout university. And from there, it’s on to find a job! I’ve got one interview type thing lined up already ( have to finalise dates and the likes ), but yes, It’s interesting times. I’ll also be possibly shutting down my personal ‘moads‘ blog as I’m not really a design *student* anymore! But we’ll see. The other thing I’d like to keep up is my “Not so Impressive Entertainers”, which I hope to make into a book. In any event, right now - I’ve got an essay to write…
