Just for fun! Kinect + Maya

2011-09-28T11:29:00.007+02:00

Kinect + Processing + Maya from Davide Madeddu on Vimeo.
A skeleton setup in Maya controlled with Kinect. Processing sends xyz coordinates of the joints to Maya with the UDP protocol. Unfortunately there is a small lag between Processing and Maya, but it works!

A simple HowTo!

**Premise: This is a very simple test, maybe you can find an easy way to do this or a more fast code.

I used SimpleOpenNI and UDP libraries in Processing and Python UDP Socket in Maya.
The code in Processing and Python is very simple, and implement UDP commands to send xyz coordinates to Maya via UDP protocol with Python.

In Processing you can start from scratch or open a basic SimpleOpenNI example and edit it. Basically, I followed these steps:
First of all you will need to install the UDP libraries in Processing ;-)
Define UDP object
Create the PVector to store the joint coordinates
Define the UDP message with the values of PVector.x,PVector.y,PVector.z
Use void drawSkeleton from SimpleOpenNI libraries.

You can download the Processing sketch <here>

In Maya was very simple too!
I scripted in Python (I am learning it!) and I used the UDP protocol to receive the coordinates from Processing. You can find all UDP commands searching UDP python over Internet and you will apply the same syntax to Maya.
First I created a series of locators (you can also script this step) named as bones, then I created the skeleton and constrained the joints to the locators.
On the "script side" I imported socket, I defined UDP IP, PORT, etc (must be the same as in Processing). I used a simple syntax found in UDP help reference, splitted the incoming message and assigned xyz to the locators with setAttr.
A boolean stop the streaming when is pressed the "q" key.

You can download the Python script for Maya <here>

Have fun and feel free to contact me if you want! Bye

Kinect + Grasshopper + Arduino (updates)

2011-09-07T08:05:00.002+02:00

A simple responsive model is influenced by the people's gestures captured with the Kinect. In this update, using Arduino, I controlled a very simple prototipe with leds that reflects the geometry changes in the digital model. More updates soon..

Back from Smartgeometry 2011 Copenhagen

2011-04-16T12:17:00.002+02:00

From 28^th March to 2^nd April I had been in Copenhagen and I attended the Smartgeometry Workshop and Conference. This year the venue was the Royal Academy of Fine Arts School of Architecture hosted by the Centre for IT and Architecture (CITA) in Copenhagen.

I participated in the Interacting with the City (IwC) cluster, led by Przemek Jaworski, Flora Salim, and Martin Kaftan. The cluster have worked with a series of tangible table prototypes using Kinect and the online real time data sources as Google Maps, Twitter and weather data.

There was different setups, where the user can interact in real time with the digital model with hands gestures (single and multi touch), or physical objects on the table. The movements and gestures are captured with cameras or kinect controller that is also capable to scan the entire scene as depth data and use the resulting point cloud information to reconstruct the 3D geometry.

My group was interested in environmental and climatic responsive design and we developed the project called “Hands on Ofelia’s Beach” (Ofelia Beach is the Royal Danish Theatre's outdoor stage and lounge area on Kvæsthusmolen in central Copenhagen).

The project explores the interaction with the digital model through the use of tangible objects to experiment form and shape. The architects and designers can use a physical building blocks, made of foam or paper, to explore the effect of the design on the site in regard to the sun and wind conditions. Interactively the designer can try to find the best configuration of the blocks that can perform the best local wind conditions and the best exposure to solar radiation.

We used Kinect as 3D geometry scanner to capture the objects on the table, and the real time data from the Copenhagen Airport weather station. The 3D point cloud from the Kinect and the wind direction and speed is used in Processing to calculate the 2D flow simulation around the objects using a Navier-Stokes algorithm (Based on code by Martin Kaftan) .

The physical model captured from Kinect with the Processing environment is continually being streamed to the digital model in Bentley GenerativeComponents (GC) giving the opportunity to record the different design stages and continue the design in a digital environment. The connection is made by UbiMash (developed by Flora Slim), which is able to export the point cloud and convert it into 3D geometry. Inside GC was possible to connect the model with Ecotect using the gc-ecotect-link to get the incident solar radiation and the incident daylight levels of the objects on the table.

The connection between software was pretty fast (excluding the computation time that depends on accuracy and mesh complexity) and allows to get the analysis values directly inside GC and could be used as input to new features as shading devices or openings. The next step was to improve the design with the integration of user defined feature to develop the design further. Any changes in the physical model is computed and updates the digital one, computing new analysis and visualized back to the table giving a interactive design feedback loop.

My first attemps to the Genetic Algorithms

2011-03-07T10:51:00.001+01:00

So much time from the last post! So..I would post here my first attemp to the genetic algorithms from months ago. I tried to make a GA script, with functions to make population, genes, fitness, and so on..
My script is based on the helpful Ben Doherty's script, and I tried to make a new one for my purposes..
This is a first test. It is very simple..there is a simple geometry made of polygons (like a mesh), that can change the coordinates of their vertices (the Z) to get the best exposure of the faces to the sun (rapresented by a point). The algorithm check the DotProduct between the normal of the faces and the direction of the sun, until they reach the best approximating value of 1.0.
Yes, I know, you can't find the gct file here! ..and there isn't no more images..please be patient! I will post some updates....the script is still in work in progress..and..isn't "rock" yet as seems!

Article from Frame And Form <eng>

From SmartGeometry website
The SmartGeometry Group is pleased to announce that the annual SG event will take place in Barcelona 19th – 24th March 2010. The event will be the key event in the year for discussing, learning and networking about the emerging practice of digital parametrics within the AEC community.

The event will come in three parts, a Workshop (19th-22th March), a public Shop Talk (23rd March), and a public Symposium and Reception (24th March). These events follow the highly successful previous SG events in San Francisco 2009, Munich 2008, New York 2007, Cambridge/London, UK 2006 and multiple preceding events.
Annually, the SG workshop attracts an impressive group of tutors and attendees from across the world of academia, professional practice as well as many of the brightest students. The workshop is open to 100 applicants who come together for four intensive days of design and collaboration. Admission to the workshop is based on selection by the SmartGeometry Group.
The 2010 SmartGeometry Workshop is organised around the challenge ‘Working prototypes’. Working prototypes are functioning prototypes developed for the purpose of proving and testing a concept and design. In 2010 the workshop will be held in the great industrial space at the IAAC in Barcelona. This allows possibilities for fabrication on even a 1:1 scale, of creating material stress, physical thinking and mental gymnastics. This puts the physical at centre stage in challenging participants to design, assemble and test working prototypes

Mostra A/R Andata e Ritorno

2008-05-30T20:26:00.003+02:00

A/R Andata e Ritorno è una mostra di Architettura realizzata da 6 gruppi di progettazione formatisi a Cagliari, dopo aver proseguito la propria ricerca in ambiti internazionali, si rincontrano, si confrontano e si raccontano nella loro città d'origine.
A partire da venerdì 30 Maggio fino a domenica 1 Giugno, presso la Galleria "Incontri d'Arte" di Tonino Daga, in Viale Regina Margherita n 91 a Cagliari, verra' esposto il lavoro di 6 giovani gruppi di progettazione:

ASPeX Experimental Architecture (M.L. Tramontin)
Luca Peralta Studio - Design & Consulting
M.Atzori & M.Zara
C+C04Studio (F.Cherchi, M.Cubeddu)
Atelier Luca dal Cerro & Associés
M_Type Architettura (C.Atzeni, A.Dessi, M.Manias, S.Mocci).

Il denominatore che accomuna i sei gruppi è il percorso che hanno intrapreso nella loro crescita professionale: dopo essersi formati nel capoluogo, hanno proseguito le loro esperienze in ambienti internazionali, puntando sulla ricerca architettonica e sulla sperimentazione.
La mostra, attraverso i modelli e le tavole progettuali presentate, sarà il luogo di incontro e confronto tra diverse modalità di progetto giovane e contemporaneo, un'occasione per raccontarsi al pubblico della propria città d'origine.

Il concorso AAA Architetti cercasi 2008, bandito da Confcooperative − Federabitazione Lombardia, si pone come primo obiettivo la ricerca di nuove forme progettuali per la residenza cooperativa. Forme che si facciano portatrici delle istanze innovative necessarie a rispondere ai mutamenti che hanno investito in questi ultimi anni la realtà della residenza e dell'abitare contemporaneo.

Per conferire al tema una cornice compiuta e un campo specifico di sperimentazione concreta, è stato individuato un lotto di progetto posto nella periferia dell'area orientale milanese. Questa parte della città è un interessante palcoscenico dei mutamenti della Milano contemporanea: qui si confrontano la riconversione di interi quartieri e la loro rifunzionalizzazione nel quadro della nuova economia globalizzata e la costruzione ex novo di quartieri residenziali, esempi di un desiderio di ritorno alla città che si constata sempre più generalizzato a livello europeo.

A nuovi problemi, nuove risposte da nuovi protagonisti

Il concorso vuole essere un appello diretto a tutti i professionisti d'Europa che abbiano intenzione di confrontarsi con il tema dell'abitare contemporaneo con un atteggiamento il più possibile aperto e multidisciplinare, dove l'innovazione e la freschezza delle proposte presentate riceveranno grande attenzione.Nell'ottica di incentivare la ricerca e la spinta all'innovazione, è stato stabilito che al concorso possano partecipare solo professionisti di età inferiore ai 35 anni.

Re:Vision Re:Connect
Reach out. Take hold. The character of a neighborhood is a reflection of the people who live there. When people feel connected to a place, they feel more connected to one another. The community becomes an extended family and life more meaningful. Thus, we're looking for urban planning approaches where revamped environments bring current residents together, particularly families. This is a chance to repair the essential relationships between social work, nature and urban infill with ideas that value humanistic thinking and imagination over bulldozers. Ponder the kinds of structures and landscapes that typically exist in run-down areas and transform them into eco-wise spaces that make life better. How might you overcome the inevitable resistance to change, and harness the community's human resources? Introducing eldercare and childcare programs or sustainable landscaping with useable harvests might be just what's needed. The best plans, no matter their originality or scale, will aim to positively affect neighboring blocks as well.

Toftegard Square South International Design Competition
Toftegards Plads Syd (Toftegard Square South) has remained largely unused for several years. In its current form it far from reflects the fact that it is one of the most important and most distinctive gateways to Copenhagen. The City of Copenhagen has therefore decided to launch a competition to obtain ideas for the creation of a lively, human and vibrant urban space of high architectural quality.
Entrants in the competition may also include proposals for new buildings, various types of coverings and other structures in the square. The new square must be part of the ongoing development that will turn the southern part of the Valby district into one of the most interesting areas in Copenhagen.

Working with our partners Advantage West Midlands, Walsall Council and Walsall Regeneration Company, Urban Splash are already delivering Phase One of the Waterfront development just near The New Art Gallery - a collection of truly stunning buildings designed by SMC Alsop and shedkm which are set within a public realm designed by Grant Associates.

Urban Splash has now been invited to come up with plans for Phase Two, the Lex site. This is where we need a great architect to work with us to deliver yet more award winning buildings. It's a real key site that's sort of triangular in shape and bordered on two sides by canals.

Our aspirations for this site are typically high. We're looking for excitement, flair, imagination - basically we're looking for the defining piece of architecture forWalsall.
