Clarke Steinback Ph.D. 3D Computer Modeling APCG 330 Spring 2007 Brad Sanders

2007 Spring ->3D Computer Modeling ->Galleries ->Final Gallery ->Brad Sanders Brad Sanders   Final Scene                     Ideal Skatepark   Inspiration   Chico has just built a new skatepark, designed and payed for by your’s truly.  Transworld Skateboarding Magazine has come to do a section called Park Spotting.  This is where they go to different skateparks and tell you about them.  These articles are usually based more on the park rather than the skating, but a few big names from the skate industry showed up to get some coverage.  So, this is the magazine layout before it would go into print.   I wanted to do a scene more about modeling than anything else because this is what I enjoy doing.  I also wanted to do something that I know I wouldn’t get sick of half way through, so I chose what I love to do the most, skateboard.  I really enjoyed this project because I got to make my perfect park, though it didn’t really turn out that way due to time, of course.  I was able to create what I would enjoy skating and put them all into one park.   *The last render from the top has nothing to do with the magazine, it is just for reference and to show the expansiveness of the scene.
