Clarke Steinback Ph.D. 3D Computer Modeling APCG 330 Fall 2005 Katherine Gray

2005 Fall ->3D Computer Modeling ->Galleries ->Desk Gallery ->Katherine Gray Katherine Gray   Desk Scene                     Alice's Abstract Garden   Inspiration I had a strong objection do making a normal desk or even a normal scene so I tried to think of different ways I could perform this task. I hate to admit it, but I seem to fit the typical female characteristics of liking the color pink and liking flowers. So I tried to think of stories such as Alice in Wonderland, where she finds herself in a world of functional  flowers. It seemed fun and do-able for a beginner like me, so I tried it.

It would have added interest but I just wanted to learn how to do things myself. In the end I got discouraged by just looking at everyone else’s so I took more interest in the patterns the light made on the wall. I encountered a huge frustrating problem trying to make a chair. At first I tried making a bush to act as a chair, but evidently my computer did not like the bajillion polygons. Then I attempted to make a chair with shapes and then projecting an ivy image on it, but the chair gave me grief because it wouldn't become rounded after 2 hours of trying. Lighting was also difficult to figure out, at first the shadows from my lamp were way too strong, but I changed the opacity of the 'petals' so that worked out. I liked learning about the Magic Bevel tool because it made my lamp look more organic than a bent bar would have. My glass still doesn't look quite right even though it is the second one I started from scratch. So I decided not to focus on it.
