Vocab#3

Rhythm: A strong repeated pattern of movement

Directional Movement: Movement to a direction
Proportion / Scale: The Ratio Of The Length

Balance: even distribution of weight

Unity: Joined as a whole

Light Saber Done and Rendered

Vocab #4

Displacement Mapping: Alternative mapping technique where you use a texture or height map to cause an effect to where the geometric points are displaced.

Bump Mapping: A mapping technique where one adjusts the textures to simulate bumps and wrinkles on the surface of the object.

3D Rendering: the computer process of automatically converting 3D wire frame models into 2D wire frame models with 3D photo realistic effects or non-photo realistic effects.

Alpha Channel: The process of combining and image with a background to give the effect of partial or full transparency.

NURBS vs. Polygons: Nurbs are models more used for flexibility and precision purposes, being more technical along with the work. Polygons are a more basic and require less surface work in order to model.

Tiling: The process of subdividing a computer graphics image by a regular grid in image space to show difference in space in the scene.

Skinning: To create a new interface on a graphical interface through combining the inner layer with the outer skin.

Aperture: A portion of memory physical address space which is persistently associated with a peripheral device or a memory unit.

Shutter Speed (Photography?): The length of time a camera's shutter is open while taking a photograph.

Focal length: Measure of an optical system for how strongly the system converges or diverges light.

Dolly: A piece of equipment designed to create smooth camera movements.

Pan: To move a camera around the specified object or a technique to change viewpoints on an object.

Roll Aspect Ratio: And objects ratio to its perspective width and height.

Vocab #2

Line- A long, narrow mark or band

Shape- The form of an object or its external boundary, as opposed to other properties such as color, texture, material composition.

Form/ Volume- A shape, visual appearance, constitution or configuration of an object/ quantity of a three-dimensional space enclosed by some closed boundary.

Color- The visual perceptual property corresponding humans to the categories called red, blue, yellow, green and others.

Value/Tone- The degree of lightness or darkness in an area.

Texture- Perceived surface quality of a work of art. Element of two-dimensional and three-dimensional design and is distinguished through its physical and visual properties.

Space- Boundless three-dimensional extent in which objects and events have relative position and direction.

Perspective- The art of drawing something on a two-dimensional surface so as to give the right impression of their height, width, depth, and position in relation to each other when viewed from a particular point.

3 Point Lightining

Lighting

3 point lighting

Today, I worked on my 3 point lighting. I need to finish my animation in Photoshop though

Didn't make that much progress today, Maya crashed a couple of times so then I started to work on my light saber but still didn't make that much progress.

Today I worked on the light saber

Render

 Today, we worked on rendering an object, I'm not near done but I'm gonna try to finish next class
