Clarke Steinback Ph.D. 3D Computer Modeling APCG 330 Spring 2007 Gerry Magana

2007 Spring ->3D Computer Modeling ->Galleries ->Desk Gallery ->Gerry Magana Gerry Magana   Desk Scene                     Dorm Room of Solitude   Inspiration My inspiration was one of my friend’s dorm rooms that he treated like a sanctuary.  He used to say it was his personal space where he could go to escape ordinary life and get lost in another world of fantasy by means of a good movie.  However, his room was a big mess and not very relaxing so I decided to create a room that would give me the same feeling that his room gave him.  To do this I chose to use lots of cool colors and low lights to give a calm and peaceful feel.  I also chose to go with a Superman theme since this was one of the last films I saw that allowed me to experience an impossible fantasy. .
