Virtual Shop

Creator: Omegix Status: Brainstorm Born On: 15:42, 19 February 2010 (CST) Last Updated: 16:43, 19 February 2010 (CDT)

Overview

Crate a virtual representation of the Makers Local 256 facility, to give other hackerspaces a feel of what our spaces looks like.

• Crashcart has interacted with Hammer (a TF2 engine) as a potential way to create a 3D model.
  • If other hackerspaces used the same 3D engine, we could tie in other capabilities like gaming
• Mudflap from Hackerconsortium suggested Google Sketchup, which would allow us to not only create a 3D model, but place it on google earth.

Materials

Measurements

• If we could find a way to use it, Mudflap left a copy of a 3D model of our hackerspace with strages. Depending on the availability of software, it may be easier to measure the shop by hand
• Hammer (TF2 Engine)

Project Byproducts

• Crashcart had a great idea for ML256 hosting a Hammer workshop. If people were into it, we could even break the shop into sections to be created as part of the workshop
