Work: approach of “Ma”
Interaction:
Mouse (left Click)
Reflection:
This is an updated version of the Bamboo fountain, as the project is going with the realistic style, the use of postprocessing and material of particle system was used to unify the general style. As for the interactable feedback that was received, It was decided to be kept as the only way this bamboo will work is because it is using the weight of water to let bamboo perform such movement when it is full, and it rebounds as it drains out all the water then makes the sound. As the stream is set to be flowing in a constant amount, the interaction of “letting the bamboo move upon click” will ruin the concept of this fountain, as the amount of water, the inclined angle, the length of bamboo and the position of the fountain makes the scene possible. As this project is going with a realistic style, the interaction will not be applied to the fountain. However, it is found many gardens in Japan not only have this fountain as a decoration, but they also have a little wind chime as well. Therefore the windchime was implemented and made interactable, allowing users to create their own “Ma”.
