Omar Ibrahim 10D Information Technology Plan Stage

22/11/2013

Materials Needed for Product: 1) Hardware Tools: - Computer. I will need a computer in order for me to create my animation video, create my online website, and my online social media pages. 2) Software Tools: - Bryce 7.1 Pro 3D Modelling Program. I will need Bryce 7.1 Pro because it is the application that I will use to create my animation video, just like all the other students. - Wikispaces. I will need Wikispaces because it is the website that I will use to create my informative online website, which will have all the information related to the project and to the animation video. - FaceBook and Twitter. I will need FaceBook and Twitter because they are the social media websites that I will use to create my own social media pages for the project and the animation video, which will hold discussions and interviews about the project.

Move it around and see where you want it to light up. The bright, lighted-up part of the ball represents where the Sun is placed. Click on the rendering green button (green sphere) in the bottom of the left toolbar on Bryce. It is the middle green ball, between the total five green

Go to the top toolbar and click on the down arrow next to the brush shape and size (on the left side of the top toolbar). A list with various brushes will pop up. Go to the down arrow next to the cogwheel on the top right corner of the pop-up. A new list will appear. Go to the bottom section of the list, and click on Square Brushes,

22/11/2013

Omar Ibrahim 10D and click OK when asked to switch to square brushes. Now, all brushes are square. Create an eagle-eye view of the buildings, by simply placing squares on the space provided. If the squares get whiter, this means that the buildings there are higher. If they get blacker or greyer, the buildings are lower. This will be your city, so make sure to place a lot of squares, to have many buildings. After youre done, go to Bryce 7.1 Pro, and

An eagle-eye view of the mountain will appear, with a side view on the right and an editing list full of editing tools. To the left of the view, there is a list of tools to use. Go to the very bottom button, that looks like a grid. It will show you the current resolution of the image, and gives you other resolution

Now go to the bottom right list of the screen, which is the Editing Tools list. In this list, go to Pictures on the top right of it, and then go to the first picture on the left, which shows the mountain from above. Above that image, there a button that says Load.

When you click on the Load button, simply choose the Photoshop city file, but make sure that it is saved as JPG (you can do this by clicking Save as and changing the file format from .psd to .jpg, when creating the Photoshop city). Click Open on the bottom right corner, after choosing the Photoshop file. Now, under the

Click on copy and paste the image of the city onto the two other images next to it, by clicking Paste on them. To give the city a more realistic and detailed feeling, go to Edit on the top toolbar of Bryce, and choose whatever theme you want, that would make the city look more interesting and realistic (Ex: Go to Miscellaneo us, and then go to Bladerunner

Now, select the airplane, and click on the U letter on the bottom of the right list next to the airplane (U stands for Ungroup). Now, select the body of the airplane, and delete it by the backspace button on the keyboard. Now, the wings of the airplane are left.

This step is 1.5m important because the electronic car station is one of my transportat ion methods that will be addressed in the video, and so, for it to be created, there has to be a travelator, or in other words, a flat elevator, which we see in malls and airports. The travelator will carry the cars on it.

Go to your account info, by clicking on your account logo. Go to Edit Profile at the bottom right corner of the account info, and create a description for the page. If you want, add a website link, for the website created.

Comparing Time Estimated to Time Available: Since we will have 4 weeks of working on this project (8 hours) I think I have plenty of time, compared to the time shown above in creating my products. If I dont have enough time afterwards, I will start focusing more, gaining all of my resources, and working on things needed, while keeping everything organized and neat, so that I dont get confused between files or products or anything else like that. Skills and Knowledge Needed: - I will need the skills of using Bryce and being able to play around with it and creating an animation on it, and using its different features that can help me the most in making my product interesting. Specifically, I need to have the skills of importing images to Bryce, in addition to the skills of moving objects around, spinning or rotating them, and creating animation videos. - I will need the knowledge of buttons and settings in Bryce, such as the Render button, the video cursor, which will create the animation, and the Editing and Grouping and Ungrouping buttons. I will need the knowledge of creating a website and how to use it, create it, add images, add videos, and more. I will also need the knowledge of creating social media pages, and pictures, videos, and comments on them, in addition to descriptions, cover images, and more. Reliability of Plan: I think my Plan is very reliable. I identified my hardware tools and my software tools and how I will use them to create my products. I also created steps for creating the products, and I made them detailed, in addition to that I wrote down for every step when I need to use which tool, and how I will create the step, and why the step is important, and its estimated time to create it, in addition to adding a few pieces of advice here and there. NOTE: The FaceBook and Twitter steps werent very detailed because they were very simple to create and they lead to each other, and so, I didnt find it necessary to make them extremely detailed, since they are already simple. I also compared the time given to the time estimated, which allows me to know if Im on the right track or not. In

Omar Ibrahim 10D

22/11/2013

addition, I talked about the skills and knowledge I need to accomplish this project and finish, so that I know what to do and how to do it. Overall, I think that my audience can follow this Plan and be able to easily create their own similar products without problems.

NOTE: If this is considered late and unacceptable, please grade the file submitted in time (the one before).
