Computer Graphics II Final |
 |
The final assignment was to produce a movie 30 seconds or longer. Though we had learned how to use Renderman language and APIs, rendering images with the
Blue Moon Rendering Tools open-source program, we were allowed to use any program we liked. Regardless, I created a couple scenes in Rhino 3D,
exported them as RIB files, applied my shaders and moved the main character, a space ship around by manipulating its coordinates. Then, I rendered it in BMRT (which has since disappeared from the Internet, sadly).
With 30 FPS and 30 seconds, I had to hand edit almost 900 frames! I quickly wrote a batch program and batch-rendered them across 4 computers the night before it was due. If I had known what I was doing, it would probably be
much better today. I still have the original RIB and 3DM files somewhere, if you want them. -Nick |
