Visual language?????

As i said before the first project im doing revolves around the 1967 show "the prisoner" and in this session i have been ask to try to understand/acknowledge the "Visual language" of the prisoner???
Are you as confused as i am? :@

Anywhoooo? well i decided to start by finding out what Drew-sensei (my teacher) ment by "Visual Language". Now where to start but the very basic and inacurrate at times "Wikipedia", yes yes i know it can sometimes be absolute crap but hey, its worth a look.

Now as you can see from my link above lovely wiki has provided use with a very basic opening sentence to what is the meaning of "Visual Language".

"The visual language is a system of communication using visual elements"

So its a way of communicating through the look of something instead of the words or sound. So now i need to know what Language is "the prisoner" speaking to me ? lol lets go into more detail. i continued to read down this wiki page and i came across a quote i quite liked which made things alot clearer for me.

"Just as people can 'verbalize' their thinking, they can 'visualize' it. A diagram, a map, and a painting are all examples of uses of visual language."

Now knowing this just clears my mind yet confuses it too. basically everything i see in the episodes of "the prisoner" is part of there visaul language. so now im just going to work off the main objects and images seen in the first episode i watched.

3D!!!!

Alright so the first project ive been given revolves around the world of 3d and ive been ask to do a bit of research in 3d applications and what there used for. Sounds easy right? Well the 3d app i currently use is Autodesk maya. which is in my opinion awesome ^_^. But there are others used in the games industy and in other industries.
Below I've put a link to the top 5 3d modelling and rendering applications used. the thing is its not quite up to date , it was actually hard to find one that was this recent, so i wouldn't trust this to mush in addition its only an opinion different people feel more comfortable with other softwares. But still give it a scan through and see if any of these softwares appeal to you most of them are very user friendly (MAYA! MAYA! MAYA!) and the article gives you the official websites of the apps as well so dont worry about the long trip you would have to take to your keyboard to type in the urllol just click click click ^_^
