Clarke Steinback Ph.D. 3D Computer Modeling APCG 330 Fall 2005 Carla Stanfield

2005 Fall ->3D Computer Modeling ->Galleries ->Desk Gallery ->Carla Stanfield Carla Stanfield   Desk Scene                     A World for Cosmos   Inspiration My inspiration came from my two kitty’s Cosmos and Bella, who make my life a joy to live.  When sitting at my real desk and pondering the concept of a desk scene that tells a story, I was reminded that I do not own my desk (Bella and Cosmos always make sure I never forget).  And as usual, just when I was getting going on some real work, she decided to take over my desk, my keyboard, my monitor, my mouse (don’t you know how much they love mice), and of course who could forget the ever beloved pencil “toy”.  And where does Cosmos come into the picture, well, he decided to join me while I magically transformed my world into a world that is fit for the King and Queen of my home.  And guess what, for all the love they give me in return, they truly deserve it!!!!

Then, after all that, I changed my mind about including the object in my scene. Once I knew the tool I needed, thing went a little smoother (aside from the trying to keep my kitty’s out of my work space).  The next major problem was with the water in the fish bowl, I followed the class website tutorial (cranberry juice in a glass) yet found it to be missing a few necessary details. Creating the monitor and keyboard were a bit tricky, I thought I would be able to use the spline tool then extrude, however, the top was invisible even if I flipped the faces.  Finally, I decided to go with a disc shape and then modify the points.  The worst technical problem I encountered was when the program was detecting mouse clicks when I wasn’t clicking, and ignoring clicks when I was.  This is likely due to the new rollerball mouse that I have recently switched to.  Also, trying to realistically light the scene was quite a problem.
