Like in 2010, I held the “Procedural Animation” class at the University of Applied Sciences Hagenberg in October 2011. Again, the students had to create a procedural still using MEL or Python in Autodesk Maya. This year, the task was to visualize a part of the computer’s directory tree. The data was all given by the file system — file sizes, directories, files, links, file names, creation-/modification-/last-access-dates, number of files in a directory, file types, file extensions,… After one and a half days of theoretical introduction and one and a half day of actual work, the students produced great artworks, in both artistic and technical regard.
Here are some of the results:
Christian Schulze — software directory
Johannes Lindtner, Moritz Palnstorfer
Yana Andreeva, Andreas Atzlinger
Christian Holzer, Johannes Pfeifer
Markus Berger, Fabian Wolf
Thomas Heller
Manuel Wieser — Python32 directory
