Final Project 3: Make a Place

So, now we're going to build on what's been going on so far. You now have a solid overview of the 3D modeling process:

1. Modeling
2. UV Mapping
3. Materials/Textures
4. Lighting
5. Rendering

As importantly, you have developed an overview of creating an effective image:

1. Establish a camera to create your shot.
2. Think foreground, mid-ground, background
3. Contrast in scale.
4. Use light and shadow to break up your scene and create points of interest.
5. Tell a story. How is the viewer meant to "move" through the space.
6. Use compositing/post-production to "cheat" and create the best image you can.
7. Interior/exterior and visual hierarchy. How can you move our eye through the scene?

Our final is Monday, December 7 at 8:00!!

What's due?
You will present a .pdf of your project. It should include

1. Reference material you used to develop your place.
2. A one paragraph written narrative of your scene. What is it? Where is it? Why is it? What's the story?
3. In-progress shots and narrative of your process - can include screen caps, test renders, etc.
4. Final shots of your place - at least 5. These should be final quality renders, that is, they should be finished off in photoshop (color-corrected, composited) and include shadows and ambient occlusion passes.
