Final #2- Monocular Depth Cues

1. Occlusion: This picture is an example of Occlusion. My Avatar is in front of a door frame and is closer to us than the door and is blocking our view from the door. In this instance my Avatar seems taller than the door frame even though the door is taller. Occlusion tells us our relative position compared to other objects around us, and shows that since my Avatar is blocking some of the door it is safe to say that my Avatar is in front of the door.
2.Texture Density: This picture is an example of Texture Density. The brick that is closer to us is a lot more detailed and does not seem as dense as the brick on the left hand side that is farther away from us. The farther away the texture (brick) the more dense they seem.
4. Lighting and Shading: This picture is an example of shading and lighting. This house is being hit by the sun on its left side, which "highlights" this side. This side appears to be the brightest, while the left side in the shade is a darker color. This shadow only will be seen by objects that have depth.
5. Atmospheric Perspective: This picture is an example of atmospheric perspective. Compared to the roof that my Avatar is standing on and the grass below which show a lot of detail and are clear, the pipe and building are less detailed and fuzzy. This is an example shows the difference in appearance as a result of light traveling through the atmosphere-- the further the light has to travel the more fuzzy and less detailed an object will be.
6. Linear Perspective: This picture is an example of linear perspective. The walk way that my Avatar is on appears that they are narrowing as it goes into the distance. I drew parallel lines on the side of the walk way to see how far in the walk way goes to give off the impression of the walk way getting longer.

Midterm #4

I rotated my vantage point in my immersive world so I could get a front view of my Avatar.It is a midterm exercise from the Immersive Education course that I am taking at Boston College.

Midterm #7

For this midterm I copied and pasted the circles over the eyes and cropped them so they would just be circles and resized them to fit better over Jeter's eyes. I then created the bottom black banner.It is a midterm exercise from the Immersive Education course that I am taking at Boston College. The course is called Discovering Computer Graphics.

Texture Mapping

These pictures above are examples of texture mapping. The first picture is of balloons, the second of a helicopter and the third of the a hot air balloon basket. These screenshots were taken from Cloudparty.com
These screenshots are just flat shaded and shadowed color. The top screenshot is a yellow floating blob, the second are the teeth in the crab pinchers, and the third is a crab alien.These screenshots were taken from Cloudparty.com

3D Texture Maps

These two tanks are both 3D but the top tank is shaded in different flat color and the bottom tank is texture mapped. The texture mapped object is a 3D object that uses a different image on its surface to make it look more realistic. The flat shaded version is only able to produce shadowing and shading. It is not as realistic as the texture mapped tank.

Midterm 6: Creating an Animated GIF

This Midterm was a lot of creating new layers and repeating steps. I started with creating a text circle and rotating it to 45 degrees. Form there I copied and pasted the text circle (my name) and did the same thing just increasing the angles every time.

Working on Midterm 4

Extra Work 4: Layers

I opened a new file and created a new image to start this midterm off. By adding layers I was able to take the text and place the penguin behind it.It is a midterm exercise from the Immersive Education course that I am taking at Boston College.

Midterm #5

For this midterm I uploaded the image and drew my name over the picture then exported this picture to JPEG, which is where I saved the first picture to. For the second picture I opened the picture that I had saved with my name and just changed where I saved it to. For this picture I saved it to a PNG file.
