Week 12

Week 12 Class Activity

Evaluation

I have found 3D Studio Max to be challenging software to use. It has taken me time to get used to using the basic parts of what it has to offer. I believe that the 3 images that I have produced as well as the fruit bowl have shown that I am capable of using the basic functions.

The hardest feature to use was the material editor. This was because there was so much you can do with it that it takes time to explore how well ideas work or don’t work. This is where I found most of my time spent, producing textures.

I believe that the August beach scene looks cartoony and making it look more realistic should be a priority for the future. Ways of doing this are producing better textures or changing the way I have produced some of the objects.

With the December fireplace scene, I am disappointed with how the stockings look and should find a way of making them look more realistic and less square. This could be done by working on how I use the modifiers.

For the January scene I would have preferred not to load the fireworks image into the window, but find a more natural look to getting the reflection so that works realistically.

Very good pics! Love the models in the beach scene, the snow image looks great and the reflection is very believeable. The December scene has a really atmospheric look and the fire is well done :)
