Clarke Steinback Ph.D. 3D Computer Modeling APCG 330 Fall 2005 Nathan Benmargi

2005 Fall ->3D Computer Modeling ->Galleries ->Final Gallery ->Nathan Benmargi Nathan Benmargi   Final Scene                     The Ascent   Inspiration A man stands at the base of a gigantic mountain, preparing for a treacherous climb.  I had previously been working in Lightwave with simple geometric shapes, so for this project, I wanted to create something entirely organic on a large scale. Objects Mountain Nathan Benmargi   Man Nathan Benmargi Textures Rock texture http://www.lwg3d.org/v3/ tutorials.php?id=117   Grass texture http://www.lwg3d.org/v3/ tutorials.php?id=117   Sand texture http://www.lwg3d.org/v3/ tutorials.php?id=117 Problems and Solutions Problem 1: I was having trouble getting my textures to show up the way I wanted them. Solution 1: A quick adjustment on the scale of my textures fixed the problem.   Problem 2: I could not get skytracer2 to produce the effect I wanted. Solution 2: I used a background image for the sky instead.   Problem 3: I noticed a few places where there were jagged lines in all my renders. Solution 3: After turning on Enhanced Medium Antialiasing, the jaggies disappeared. Time Frame Planning 4-5 hours   Modeling the Mountain 8 hours   Textures 8 hours   Bump Maps 3.5 hours   Lighting 3 hours   Camera 1.5 hours   Post-Production 8 hours References These are two tutorials I found helpful.   http://www.lwg3d.org/v3/tutorials.php?id=117   http://www.3dluvr.com/content/article/106/1 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
