Computer Applications 2 final submission

Tribute to Louis Kahn.

I'm starting to have an appreciation for what the guys at Pixar are doing...

Post-production

So the gallery shot was really anemic looking while the auditorium shot was too dim. Thank God for Photoshop/GIMP.

Culture Vulturing: Visitors milling about the north galleries. 

The burn tool was used to punch up the anaemic lighting, giving the space more warmth. Entourage and paintings were also added, with reflections on the polished white oak floors.

Culture Vulturing, part deux: Watching a ballet in the auditorium.

The burn and dodge tools are my best friends now. The auditorium was burned and the arch dodged to boost the constrast in colour, and the stage was also dodged to make it the focus of the image. Entourage was added to the seats and stage.

Just to show the creepy things that happen during post-production.

Render time!!

So apparently, the stray pixels/speckles are due to a low final gather setting (Thanks, Mr. Koh!). So, I boosted up the final gather setting to high, making rendering time for each image an hour long. Joy.

A low quality one with bipeds scattered about, so I know how tall the entourage should be later during post-production.

A really dim auditorium...

And a bland looking gallery space housing my prized Mademoiselle Pogany on a pedestal, rendered in semi-polished brass.

Ugh, lighting...

Gallery space

Hmm, lighting is a bit anaemic... maybe some post-production work to make it pop?

Ah, yes, decided to model the auditorium as it would make for an easier rendering (especially since submission has been brought forward a day).

Needs lighting adjustments, but otherwise ok.

Learning Animation

A really weird video that's the result of messing around with keyframes and whatnot, about a demon possessed teapot, a light mysteriously appearing on a wall, and some really pixelated water.
