Creación de mini guía gastronómica de la ciudad de Riobamba usando un personaje cartoon 3D.

Abstract

The aim of this research project was to design a mini gastronomic guide from Riobamba city - Ecuador, with a 3D cartoon figure. For this purpose a representative figure from the city was chosen, it was created in 3D and the final details were given in specialized image editing software. Then the figure was used in a guide along with the main gastronomic dishes with their location within the city. To determine the figure we used analytical, historical and bibliographic methodologies, so that, through the analysis of the information, it was determined the most appropriate figure to represent the city. To design the figure we used a method adapted from a methodology divided into two stages, the creation and the design of the figure. The information about the city's gastronomy was obtained through analytical, historical and bibliographical methodologies, that also, they made it possible to determine the most representative dishes from the city. It was determined that the most appropriate figure to represent the city is the "curiquingue" ( beaked falconiform bird), a traditional figure of the "procession of Jesus child" ( a religious festivity in the city). It was also established that the best known gastronomic dishes are: "el Hornado"(baked pork), "el ceviche de chocho" (chochos, tomatoes, pork skin and onions) , "los jugos de sal" (salt juices), "la fritada"(fried pork), "los llapingachos" (mashed potatoes, egg and sausage), "el cuy asado"(roasted guinea pig), "el yaguarlocro" (potato soup with sheep blood), " tripas mishqui" (roasted beef intestines) that are sold outside the coliseum of the city, "los rompe nucas" (a very cold juice with ice) and ice cream at San Francisco market. To design the guide, specialized layout software was used to include descriptive information on the composition and location of the product, as well as reference images of the product and the figure created. It is advisable to promote transdisciplinary projects for the cultural and gastronomic promotion from Riobamba city.
