Chapter 022 - 2001.02.05
I'm not 100% sure about this date.
The year may be off,
but I found this date in my history log file -
indicating three photos of the original prototype of something I called:
3D6V.
I can't even recall what version I created first.
I could not find those three photos from 2001 -
instead this is the first photo I can find -
the date on this is 27 Jan 2003.
It's a 6x6x6 version of the 3D6V creation.
A demo version -
that demonstrates that mini-cubes positioned in 3D space can create -
six (6) different 2D image views.
Thus the made up name for the creation:
3D6V.
You might notice that -
a 5x5x5 version of this was used heren -
to create the TAPable dynamic logo.
I imagined several different applications of the 3D6V.
I even used it before to try to brand a different creation:
iCubis.
You will also find it as the basis of my World Trade Center Memorial submission -
as a 23x23x23 application of 3D6V.
Applications included:
3D games
3D desktop calendars
3D marketing displays
3D light-effects globes
The coolest and most practical is the dynamic 3D6V branding application ,
like seen herein.
Just click on the video to play it.
To the right is a 3x3x3 game structure prototype.
Foam mini-cubes and a wooden framework structure.'
The challenge is to get all six (6) sides -
revealing all six (6) complete images.
Where the above photo is just one of the six (6) side views.
