Extra Tutorials - Particle effect...


Neal Hirsig Tutorial helped me to introduce particle effects into a scene. It was presented very clearly on how to edit an exsisting mesh and changing it into a particle effect in the object mode (F7) and by changing a few settings to allow randomness and acceleration to a certain direction in the x,y and z axis etc.


Extra Tutorials - Stars and mist...


Again for this I used the Tutorial from Neal Hirsig, this tutorial was again very useful and stars can be added quite easily by activating the stars tool in the world options and by altering the settings. The mist settings are also avaiable to edit in the world mode to create a sence of Mistiness to a scene.


Extra Tutorials - Textured Background...


To Texture a background I used the background tutorial by Neal Hirsig. It was very easy as the world options and shading options needed to be edited slightly to provide the end result.

Here I followed the 3 point lighting tutorial on a basic cube, I feel it worked well as the tutorial was very well presented.

I will use 3 point lighting in my assignment to highlight some key objects in my scenes to attract the viewers eye.

Week 6 - Scene challenge...

Heres a scene I created using the previous tutorials...


Week 5 - Disco Challenge...


Here I used the lighting effects to create something similar to the challenge set.


Week 6 - MultipleMaterial Tutorial addition to the rose model...


Here I have used two materials on one object, the tutorial was very clear and I encountered no problems.
I achieved this by adding an additional material on the editing object panel and selecting different faces on edit mode. Then adding them to the new material and applying another shade.

This is the rose I created using the above tutorial. I found the tutorial easy to understand as it was described how to use different tools in a step by step process. I didn't find any problems with making the rose model.
