Clarke Steinback Ph.D. 3D Computer Modeling APCG 330 Spring 2007 Danny Murray

2007 Spring ->3D Computer Modeling ->Galleries ->Desk Gallery ->Danny Murray Danny Murray   Desk Scene                     Hall of Music   Inspiration I wanted to do something different than just a desk in a room. The first thing I though of was a desk up in the clouds, which would have looked cool, but modeling clouds is beyond me at this point. The next thing I thought of was doing a long hallway, as you can see. I knew it would look cool to have a long hallway fade into the distance. I needed something more though, so I drew upon one of my favorite pass times: music. I love playing guitar so I modeled one and I love all listening to music so I hung up several posters of bands I like a lot. I also love drawing so I put one of the posters on the desk next to the pencil as if I were drawing it. Being my first 3D modeling project, I have to say I’m pretty satisfied with it. Objects Desk Danny Murray   Guitar Danny Murray   Lamp Danny Murray   All posters (not the pictures) Danny Murray   Glass Danny Murray   Pencil Danny Murray   Hallway Danny Murray   Ceiling Lights Danny Murray Textures Posters www.allposters.com   All others Lightwave Images Problems and Solutions I was trying to use the same texture for a couple different things and didn’t realize that when you edit the image it edits it for any object that is using that texture. To solve this I created a copy of the texture so both objects could have the same texture with different edits on them Another problem was lighting. I couldn’t get the spotlights to be bright enough to light things up at a normal intensity (with global lighting almost all the way off). I had to crank up the intensity to 2000%, which seems ridiculous, but it work for the most part. Lighting was definitely one of the hardest parts of this project.
