2005 Fall ->3D Computer Modeling ->Galleries ->Desk Gallery ->David Barton David Barton   Desk Scene                     Late night   Inspiration It has become my custom to do the majority of my work at night, so I wanted to make a scene showing how my office might look when I get older and find a real job. My office is decorated with pictures I have taken of family pets and our beloved xbox. The computer borrows on an idea from the book "Snow Crash" by Neal Stephonson.  It is suposed to be just a flat sheet of glass that has the image projected onto it from behind. Unfortunately, that was left out of this version in consideration of render times.  I originaly ment to have the view out of the office window be a daytime cityscape from atop a high building, but I couldn't find a suitable picture for it. Luckily, this was before I started any of the layout work so I was able to avoid a lot of lost time by rethinking the project eairly on.

The hard part was getting the bends in the arms to look smooth. All of my fisrt attempts to make them ended with lamp arms that where too flat and rough.  I fixed this by adding more segments to them and gradualy roatating them for the bends. The layout took up most of my time because of a stupid mistake. I had accidently left a gap between the glass windows and the wall. In layout there was no gap at all but when I rendered there was a noticeable space between them. I must have wasted 3 hours tweeking the glass and rerendering just to have the gap show up again. I found out that I had accidently created a keyframe where the glass was out of position and this was being rendered and not the frame where everything was perfect. I happily deleted that key frame and the problem was solved. Time Frame total hours spent 7 (not including renders that contained errors)   Lamp 2.5 hours total   Office 1 hour in lab   Desk 30 min   Compter 15min   3 posters + paper 15 min   texture work 15 min   Lighting 15 min   Layout 2 hours References None. 2005 Fall Concept Design and Storyboarding 3D Computer Modeling Assignments Calendar Gradebook Syllabus Tutorials Galleries Desk Gallery Final Gallery Group Gallery Web Page Design Portfolio Video Game Desgin
