I restarted this project a few times. I wanted to experiment using the look system and incorporate the various functionalities I discovered in one piece. Although a bit abstract, the image above is supposed to depict a person crossing the street on a raining day. More importantly, the image uses short and frequent lines to simulate rain in the back layer of the image. By connecting many points to pixel, I was able to simulate distance and light using white lines. for the rest of the images I tried to emulate the stage of walking. with the green lines representing stepping forward in how the “knee” moves downward. In the future I hope to be able to use these with animation to simulate movement.
