Objects Lamp Todd Clark   Desk Todd Clark  barrowed the desk handles from the lightwave file cabinet.   Wine Glass Todd Clark   Pencil Todd Clark   Computer Monitor Barrowed from Lightwave   Keyboard Barrowed from Lightwave Textures Floor http://www.grsites.com/textures/     Lamp http://www.grsites.com/textures/     Lampshade http://www.grsites.com/textures/     Desk Lightwave     Wine Glass Tutorial by Josiah Koons   Problems and Solutions My biggest problem was getting my lamp settings correct so that the lampshade would allow light out and still look semi-realistic.  After several tries and getting frustrated because there wasn’t enough light in my scene to illuminate my objects I added a second light.  I put a spotlight in the scene as far from the desk as possible to create a feeling like a door was open and light from a hall was being cast into the room.   I also ran into problems with my wine glass.  Once I got all the sizes correct I found out that the copy of lightwave I was using didn’t have any of the preset textures so I had to find a tutorial online to make the glass effect.    And finally a lot of my problems came from the fact that I’m not completely comfortable using lightwave yet.   I spent a lot of time redoing certain cuts and moves to get everything correct.  My desk took me the longest of all my object just because I was still getting used to the program. Time Frame Planning 2 hours wasted thinking up a great idea that I scrapped for an actual real life scene.   Desk 3 ½ hrs   Pencil 2 ½ hrs   Lamp 2 hrs   Wine Glass 1 hr   Monitor 15 min to resize to fit desk   Render time 2 min per render References http://www.ecst.csuchico.edu/~ranger/samples/CSCI140/tutorialsS05/jkoons_tutorial.pdf http://www.grsites.com/textures/ 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
