The wide array of creativity by students in the Visualization<\/a> program took center stage in the Viz Fall Show on Dec. 3.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Artwork lined the walls of the Langford Architecture Center, buildings B and C, and a screening in Geren Auditorium was packed to see student projects in animation, game design and interactive design. Faculty members selected the works crafted by undergraduate and graduate students throughout the summer and fall semesters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jill Honeycutt<\/a>, instructional associate professor and senior associate program director in the Visualization program, said she was inspired by the ongoing support and recognition of the students\u2019 talents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe quality of both the flatwork and digital projects continues to improve with each passing year,\u201d she said. \u201cI left the event with a profound sense of pride and gratitude to be a part of the Visualization program at Texas A&M.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The second floor of Langford C was filled with virtual and augmented reality projects. A VR attraction titled \u201cRipple Rescue\u201d centered on taking care of the environment. The project was created by Bryn Shellenback, a senior Visualization student, and her teammates Wyatt Ferguson, Brack Harmon and Blake Avery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The player wears a VR headset and holds VR devices attached to a tennis racket and joystick. The tennis racket simulates a fishing net in the game as the joystick steers the boat. The user plays the role of a park ranger tasked with cleaning a lake by using a net to scoop up trash or recycling to be placed in proper bins, she said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sophia Carver, a sophomore Visualization student, created a 2D visual novel with her group members \u2014\u00a0Titus Valverde, Tilly Hillie and David Hiavens \u2014 in a Time and Interaction course taught by Michael Bruner<\/a>, instructional assistant professor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe Disappearance of Ichabod Crane\u201d was created as a visual novel based on \u201cThe Legend of Sleepy Hollow\u201d by Washington Irving. Through five scenes, the participant follows the character Elias Ashford as he searches for clues into Crane\u2019s disappearance. Carver said her group was excited to be selected for the showcase.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWith each scene, the characters start talking to you and you choose dialogue options in response,\u201d Carver said. \u201cI am so glad we got to share this game with so many people. It feels really rewarding to see it come together for me and my team.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Undergraduate and graduate students presented their work in a research symposium. Two students \u2014 Diego Romero (undergraduate) and Yi-Cheng Hsiao (graduate) \u2014 received awards for their research from a panel of professors in the college.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Drawings, design works, posters and fine art were featured throughout Langford B and C. Zoe Zepeda, a freshman Visualization student, had two featured works that she created in a drawing course taught by Dmitri Koustov<\/a>, senior lecturer. Zepeda drew a still life with pencil of herself posing with a classroom skeleton model. She also created \u201cDebby,\u201d a comic book character, using a digital drawing application.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Students, family members, friends and faculty gathered in Geren Auditorium to view animated shorts, video game designs, interactive design works, character animations and virtual production films. The works drew laughs, \u201caww\u201d sounds and several rounds of applause from the crowd for their intricate detail and storytelling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Among the works were the three virtual production films developed through the Summer Industry Course<\/a>: \u201cCardboard Camelot<\/a>,\u201d \u201cAbducted<\/a>,\u201d and \u201cWinded<\/a>.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

An animated short titled \u201cThe Freak Show<\/a>\u201d was featured in the screening, created by Andersen Wood<\/a>, a senior Visualization student, and his group members. The short follows an elderly man who collects horrifying monsters in his dungeon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOf all the projects I\u2019ve made in Viz, this one by far feels the most \u2018me,\u2019\u201d said Wood, who graduated Dec. 12. \u201cMeeting with my friends and mentors to get feedback throughout the project\u2019s development was my favorite part of production. My amazing mentor, Taylor Chojecki, had so many insights that helped me manage a larger scope than I\u2019m used to in an efficient way.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Other works included \u201cTo Kill a Hummingbird,\u201d an animated short about an origami shaped hummingbird; \u201cTake 6,\u201d a video game featuring a film set intern; and \u201cYou Belong With Me,\u201d an animated short about two bumblebees.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wood said the students were thrilled to have their works featured in the screening for their friends and family to enjoy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI’m really happy with how the fall show turned out,\u201d he said. \u201cWe had an amazing crowd turnout. And seeing the theater fill to capacity \u2014 and then some \u2014 just to witness all the student work was really special.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
