Assignment #7 MakeCubic Cubic Space

This week we'll be using MakeCubic again to create an interactive space. However this time it will be cubic instead of spherical. Here's the pattern and orientation to use while making your cubic space. The shape lends itself especially well to architectural spaces, but don't let that stop you from exploring other possibilities including optical illusions and visual abstractions.

The first step is to create the 6 sides of the cubes as 6 separate files. It's important to make sure all of the files are equal size in pixel dimensions. When designing your space keep in mind the orientation of how MakeCubic will assemble the pieces. To blend the edges and corners of the sides you'll have to combine and rotate sides in Photoshop and then separate them again.

Then it's just drag and drop our image files onto the MakeCubic program icon and let it do the rest. Once our .mov file is created we can navigate the space with our arrow keys, shift to zoom in, and control to zoom out.
