Clarke Steinback Ph.D. 3D Computer Modeling APCG 330 Spring 2007 Wes Newell

2007 Spring ->3D Computer Modeling ->Galleries ->Desk Gallery ->Wes Newell Wes Newell   Desk Scene                     Miniature   Inspiration I wanted to create the illusion of the desk being a miniature model of a desk scene, complete with a lamp and drawing on the desk.  There is a penny in the image to better portray the effect of a miniature model on a man's hand.

I had to take into account the camera angle, camera distance, aspect ratio, and resolution.  I also had to place the light in the right spot with the correct intensity to match the scene. Getting the cardboard to match up perfectly with the image was tricky, involving a few hours of experimentation and guess/check. I also had trouble with the desklamp's cast shadow from the scene lighting into the spotlight of the lamp on the desk. It intersected funky and I eventually ended up taking out the cast shadow from the lamp completely. Time Frame Planning 1 hour   Desk 2.5 hours   Lamp 45 min   Pencil 1.75 hours   Cup 30 min   Drawing 5 min   Cardboard 30 min   Lighting 1.5 hours   Composition 30 min   Camera-Match 2.5 hours   Render time Way too long   Photoshop 1.5 hours   Total time ~13.5 hours + render time References Almost everything in the scene was created from experience in modeling, but I did use a few glass tutorials on the class website. Following along with the in-class demonstrations really helped and allowed me to create the pencil and cup for the scene. 2007 Spring Concept Design and Storyboarding 3D Computer Modeling Assignments Calendar Gradebook Syllabus Tutorials Galleries Desk Gallery Group Gallery Video Game Development Portfolio Video Game Project
