Week 10 - Rendering Techniques

This week in max I've been out if max, but I've been floating ideas around when it comes to rendering techniques. Mainly I have been looking into mental ray rendering, this rendering technique is very computer intensive, but has great results. Even photo realistic results can be obtained through this.   

Week 9 - Mental Ray Rendering

This week in animation I've been thinking about modeling a scene that mimics a microscopic image. To get the desired affect mental ray rendering will have to be used. As for this project I will spend more time in the editing and rendering process than before, so that the final result will have a more polished look.

 

Week 8 - Anouther Project

This week I've started to explore different potential projects for the next three weeks. I was thinking about working with planes modeling again but spend more time with textures, the next object to model is still undecided. I will also work with bump map textureing in the future in order to give my animations greater detail.  

Week 7 - The Final Result

This week I've worked on attempting to make bump mapping to be configured correctly. Unfortunately texturing the mask posed  a challenge too great to tackle with the given time period. I also put two free lights in the scene to give better lighting effects. Finally I used a line and path constraint to have a camera rotate around the mask. Overall the mask has turned out pretty well and I'm content with it.
