Overview

Create 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.


Calendar

  • Taking Measurements of shop on 2/27/2010 (leaving off main ML256 calendar)
  • Setting up Hammer Tutorial meeting about a week later (TBD?)

Materials

  • Hammer (TF2 Engine)

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

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
