Modelado 3D de personajes representativos de la manifestación cultural social Fiesta, del cantón Colta.

Abstract

The aim of this research was the creation of 3D modeling to represent characters from the social cultural celebration of Colta Canton. The problem was analyzed and it was determined that Colta lacks updated information, both written and digital about the festivities and characters involved in these celebrations, thus causing the lack of interest among the inhabitants to preserve this heritage. By means of surveys and interviews it was possible to gather information and determine the representative characters of Colta's festivities such as: Kulta Tukushka, Warmi Tukushka and Colta or Zarza, the three characters are typical from the canton and belong to the Pawkar Raymi festivity. We also obtained the target audience for the performance of the modeling, who are young people and adults from 18 to 30 years of age within the canton. For the performance of the 3D modeling we used the Ambrose Harris methodology and through it we used a guide for the implementation. To select the modeling techniques and tools, we compared different 3D modeling techniques and tools, selecting box modeling and organic modeling. The models were published in the virtual platform Sketchfab. For the analysis, we carried out surveys to the inhabitants of Colta, the same that are within the target audience to which the modeling is directed, the 3D characters obtained great recognition from the villagers, recognizing 100% of the respondents that the characteristics of the modeling identify each of the representative characters of the festivities; thus demonstrating that they are suitable to be exhibited as cultural information from the canton. The use of Sketchfab is recommended for the publication of 3D modeling since it is a platform that supports high quality files and therefore a better presentation of the objects shown.
