Clarke Steinback Ph.D. 3D Computer Modeling APCG 330 Fall 2005 Shane Hilton

It seems that every time I watch a Kings game I always end up on the edge of the couch at the end of the game; they have a tendency of having the winner of the game decided by the final shot. On two occasions at games I have attended the final shot was taken by Mike Bibby ending the game. For my project I decided I wanted to capture a fantasy like version of this capturing the moment before the balls fate is determined.

Getting everything together and having a deliverable became a last minute detail. My two mains problems I came across were problems solved with postproduction.   One of those problems was dealing with the basketball. Getting the right textures for this was a headache. I wanted the reflection of the ball on the backboard in the shot so I got creative. Modeling the grooves in the ball seemed difficult. To overcome this, I simply created an orange sphere where I wanted the ball. This gave a reflection in the glass. Next I found just the right image to use for the surface of the ball and in Photoshop I put the image over the top of the orange sphere.   My other main problem was dealing with the scoreboard and how to create the numbering. I fought with lighting trying to create actual lights. My final solution was going in Aura and creating the numbers on one layer and then using the free transform of perspective changed the angle for each shot to make it appear as if the numbers were sitting on top of the image.  Time Frame Inspiration 1 hour   Modeling 3 hours   Textures 3 hours   Lighting 3 hours   Postproduction 3 hours   1 Hour lighting References http://www.basketballhoopsunlimited.com/images/basketball_court_diagram.gif All the above listed sites used for 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
