Clarke Steinback Ph.D. 3D Computer Modeling APCG 330 Fall 2005 Team Venice

2005 Fall ->3D Computer Modeling ->Galleries ->Group Gallery ->Team Venice Scott Washington   Group Scene David Clish     Nathan Benmarqi     Mike Miller       Venice   Inspiration The inspiration we had for this was the idea that some of us wanted to do a bridge scene, and some of us wanted to do a city scene and so we combined the two and decided to do an Italian scene, because their city is on water. A big contribution for our scene was the Venice Gondola image we had found online. It provided a blueprint for our design.

The airbrush that comes in Lightwave to do the weight mapping is horrible and did not cover the correct areas when I sprayed it on the texture. Solution 1: I increased the polygons on the wall and it made the airbrush go on smoother, but not exactly how I wanted it to.   David: My biggest issue was working with the water. At first I had to follow a few tutorials just to learn the basic idea behind how to create it. I then ran into several issues with getting the right colors and keeping the water looking like a liquid rater than a glossy sheet. It took several extra brains, but my solution was to continually fiddle with the original settings that I followed in Vanessa’s tutorial until I basically found what I was looking for.   Nathan: Problem 1: The first problem I encountered was when I was making the windows for the building. I was using various different sizes of boxes and Boolean subtracting them from the building to create spaces for windows. About halfway through doing this I encountered a problem, where some polygons we’re getting messed up. Solution 1: I realized that I had forgotten to subdivide the surface of the building before breaking it up, so I simply used the knife tool to subdivide the rest of the building, and the rest of the windows went smoothly after that. Problem 2: I couldn’t figure out a good way to bend the segments of pipe to create the gate for the windows. Solution 2: I learned how to use the bend tool, and after that, it was quite a simple process.   Mike: Problem 1: Figuring out the exact measurements for the building was really tough.  Solution 1: I had to guess at the measurements judging by the people standing in the picture.  It was a little sketchy at first but when we put the buildings together in the end it turned out fitting perfectly. Problem 2: Trying to make the bars and window panes at the exact angles so that the light would show through correctly was hard to perfect. Solution 2: I just had to look at the picture we were going off of.  I experimented with the lighting and the angles of the window panes and finally found the perfect combination.
