DAAP, the first sculpture world in AW

D.A.A.P.
The first world of virtual sculpture on line

D. A. A. P. is my virtual world of sculpture, initially designed at the College of Design, Architecture, Art, and Planning at the University of Cincinnati. Since 1996 Daap has been used as an environment to test models of sculpture and other three dimensional projects by faculty, students, and guest artists. Fine Art Media Fundamentals, Modeling for 3 Dimensional Networking, and Computer Sculpture, are courses that have been taught using Daap as a venue for the presentation of student work.

Derrick Woodham, Sculptor, Professor Emeritus.
