CAGD 112- Photography

Panorama

 



In the final panorama assignment I was asked to create a panorama image by taking four to six photographs of something outside that seemed appealing enough to us. For this assignment I took some pictures in my neighborhood at the park although I would have liked to have taken it during the golden hour. I would have liked to taken it during a better time such as sunset or sunrise, but I believe the results came out alright, just not as I hoped. I definitely could have done better if I chose a better area and time to take the photos. I had some problems using the clone stamp tool where in the work image it didn't show any areas of the checkers but when I went to save as a jpeg it showed, but in the end results I was able to fix it if that made sense.

HDRI

For this HDRI assignment we were asked to take 3 photos one under exposed, over exposed and normal. The before image is the image merged together using the 3 photos taken. To edit it I took it in Adobe Lightroom and from there did the editing in Photoshop. I really liked the results of the HDR photo but I believe I went a little too much on editing. I did have trouble finding the right spot because there aren’t really any interesting spots where I live. In the final image I wanted the focal point to be the building in the back behind the highway. There was one thing that bothered me about the final photo and that was the highlight around the tree because I wasn’t sure how to fix that. I should have definitely gone out at an earlier time to get better results but I like how it turned out in the end.


Things

For the things assignment we were asked to take at least 30 photos using Depth of Field in our photos. After taking all of the photos I took one out of the 30 to enhance. In this photo I provided I started with a normal photo and made it black and white with the color on the focal point being the flower which I thought turned out really nice. One challenge for me was using the dodge and burn tool but it actually wasn't that bad to use considering I haven’t used that tool since High School in photography class. In terms of lighting I believe it turned out really well. The only thing I would change would be a different angle rather than facing other houses and a car in the background. In the end the Things assignment was not even a bad assignment it was actually very enjoyable to work and edit with in photoshop



On The Edge

After

















For the On the Edge assignment I was asked to take about 30 pictures with some sort of leading lines with a main focal point. In this case my brother is the main focal point walking across a bridge. I haven’t touched a DSLR camera since photography class in High School so I had to get a hang of where everything was located but took little to no time to get used to it. In terms of this assignment I used the original image of my brother walking across the bridge and used the grayscale to make it black and white. After I have finished using the black and white feature I used the dodge and burn tool to fix any spots I needed to fix in order to make the photo appealing enough. One thing I could have done better would be to crop it a little but in the end I was satisfied with the results.

  Game Scene Final Project Post   The goal of this project was to create a scene from the game Sonic Adventure. Our team chose to work on Windy Valley, aiming to bring this level to life. The reason we chose this for our project is because it felt like something we could manage for the time given to us. While we did focus on some of the main assets in the game, we did add some of our own to give it that extra juice. In this post I will also go over the map layout and how we had originally had it planned out.  To start off the layout we started the player at the first island which had a pavilion and some tree which Vinh made which turned out great. The player would then cross the bridge to the next island where the player would be able to interact with the gravity cannon which I made in the first sprint. This cannon wouldn’t have worked without the help of Tang making the script for it to properly shoot out the player. My portion of the scene consisted of making the main island which

  From a 3D Artist’s perspective, the process of making a game hasn’t gone to well in terms of actually getting the work done. I have never actually had this problem in my past experiences and for this one, its due to my lack of experience in terrain modeling which really held me back this sprint. I was stuck on it for a few days, but this surprised me because I have used the sculpting tool in maya for previous projects and the outcome didn't come out bad at all so I thought I could tackle this task but I was wrong. One thing I did to fix this was communicate with my team Lead Tyla and Producer Anna and we all agreed to pass it onto someone who has more knowledge of sculpting to get the look of the terrain we wanted. That was really the thing that held me back and I should have spoke up sooner about it but everything is situated and I have finished up the other models that I was assigned.  Next, I will dive into all the cards and tasks that I was assigned for the first sprint.
