Clarke Steinback Ph.D. 3D Computer Modeling APCG 330 Spring 2007 Ayla Richards

2007 Spring ->3D Computer Modeling ->Galleries ->Desk Gallery ->Ayla Richards Ayla Richards   Desk Scene                     On the Account!   Inspiration Yarr. I wanted to make a desk scene with something that I like and hasn’t been used quite a lot, so I chose to do a pirate desk! More of a table that would be in a cabin of the ship where the captain would do his daily map-checking and gold counting.   Objects Desk Ayla   Map Ayla   Bottle of Rum Ayla   Coins Ayla   Compass Ayla   Candle Ayla   Pencil Ayla Textures Walls www.mayang.com   Floor www.mayang.com   Desk Lightwave   Map http://www.indianbay.net/ images/portfolio/ 1655chart/chartlowres.jpg   Bottle of Rum Lightwave   Coins http://pe.elmstreet-online.com/ shop1/catalog/ images/ MRDS105_pirates_coin.jpg   Compass http://www.redfordfilms.com/ catalog/ MRDS147E.jpg   Candle Lightwave   Pencil Lightwave   Flame http://liftoff.msfc.nasa.gov/ Shared/News2000/ Flames/ candle-earth.jpg Problems and Solutions 1) Learning Lightwave!! This program makes me a nervous wreck for some reason. I bet I have a lot of people annoyed by me asking so many questions, but by doing so, I am slowly but surely learning this program. Also with the help of some tutorials.   2) Creating a candle flame. I think that this was the most difficult part of the whole piece. After struggling with it for quite some time, I finally found a tutorial to create a clipmap, in which I created a fake 2D flame to put on top of the candle itself. I then set a point light on the top of the clipmap and changed around the settings for that to make it look like actual candle light. After that, I struggled with using a lens flare because I didn’t know what the heck it was doing, but I finally figured it out and ended up creating more of the flame and glow with it.   3) Making the bottle of rum glass. I found that there was a bunch of things that needed to be checked in order to make it actually look like glass. It turned up the render time by A LOT, and I couldn’t get it quite the shade that I wanted it to, but I still think it looks fine.   4) Losing textures. Whenever I would close out of Lightwave and load my scene back up, the textures of the room and the table would change and I would have to reset them every time. I really don’t know what I could do to prevent this except reload every time I bring Lightwave back up. Time Frame Modeling desk 1 hour   Modeling bottle 3 hours   Modeling coins 1 minute?
