Clarke Steinback Ph.D. 3D Computer Modeling CSCI 140 Spring 2005 Ben Guastella

2005 Spring ->3D Computer Modeling ->Galleries ->Ben Guastella Ben Guastella   Desk Scene   The Mysterious Workspace   Inspiration My inspiration for making this scene was more about the mood it created rather than trying to replicate a desk I had seen else ware.  I wanted to create a dark, mysterious mood where the viewer was not sure exactly where this scene takes place.  Whose desk is it?  What is that old book? Who is that woman in the picture?  Along with making it mysterious, the scene also has some “lived in” touches by including the metal figurine, a picture on the wall and the pencil.

Time Frame Planning            0.5 Hrs. Modeling            2.0 Hrs. Texturing           5.0 Hrs. Lighting            4.0 Hrs. Rendering          20.0 Hrs. References I used a few models from http://www.3dexcellence.com/lightwavemodels.html and found a picture of stucco at http://www.eiu.edu/~booth/services/stucco.jpg.  The rest of the scene I made myself with information from class. 2005 Spring 3D Computer Modeling Assignments Calendar Gradebook Syllabus Tutorials Galleries Concept Design and Storyboarding Video Game Design Project
