# Dancing Stars Slingshot **TEACHER**: Kim Nutter **TOOL**: Autodesk Maya **APPLICATION**: [[Thoughtcrimes_GDD|Thoughtcrimes]] (Unity, promo) **CONCEPT**: A "Death Star" (Star Wars) destroys planets. A "[[DANCINGSTARS|Dancing Star]]" (Nietzsche F.) destroys [[NEPOBJEDIVI/GAMEDESIGN|toy worlds]] (any game is a toy world with its rules, physics, biases, epistemologies, etc.). To slingshot a dancing stars is similar to making a critical argument that undermines some theory, i.e. a conceptual universe. **RELATIVE**: [[Cosmoscope_3D]] ## Model ![[Slingshot.gif]] ### Draft | Front | Side | Up | Star | | --------------------------- | ------------- | ------------------------ | -------------------------- | | ![[DS_Slingshot/front.png]] | ![[side.png]] | ![[DS_Slingshot/up.png]] | ![[DS_Slingshot/star.png]] | ![[orthographicDrafts.png]] ## Reference | **Anatomy** | **Up and front** | **Animal Crossing** | | --------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------- | | ![[ATTACHMENTS/REFS/SlingshotAnatomy.png]] | ![[DS_Slingshot/Pasted image 20250215175625.png]] | ![[DS_Slingshot/Pasted image 20250215175908.png]] | | **Handle** = wood | **Rubber** = rubber | **Star** = metal | | ![[ATTACHMENTS/fine_grained_wood_col_4k.jpg]] | ![[ATTACHMENTS/rubberized_track_diff_4k.jpg]] | ![[ATTACHMENTS/rusty_metal_03_diff_4k.jpg]] | ![[AgainstGameMetaphysics.borders]]
