3d Animations have amazed me ever since the first toy story came out. I wanted to know how it was made that I got the book Toy Story: The Art and Making of the Animated Film. Reading the book only made me fall more in love with computer graphics and made me thirstier to learn more about this field. I watched every Pixar, double negative and DreamWorks movie, paying close attention to lightning, shadows and all rendering details, wanting to know how they were modelled, lightened, illuminated and rendered behind the scenes. Even though I don’t play video games, I always watched my brothers play games such as call of duty, and Crysis to see the real time rendering. From the first lecture of computer graphics undergrad course, I immediately knew that I wanted a master’s degree in this field to explore this awesome world of computer graphics. Attending more lectures, my fascination for computer imagery grew which made me more certain that I needed this degree to deepen my knowledge. I wish to extend my expertise, broaden my scope, gain more skills, and get exposed to state-of-the-art graphics technologies. I am especially interested in realistic computer generated images, high dynamic range imaging, and global illumination. My third year project was a 3d board game where objects, the board and the pieces were modeled and textured in Autodesk Maya, exported to opengl where the rest of the work was done. Other than the AI, real time rendering of the game to make it visually stand out from the crowd was a major challenge as I had to overcome opengl shadowing limitation by analyzing different shadowing options, deciding which one to use for optimized speed. Completing the project and the other opengl labs in my undergrad study requir... ... middle of paper ... ...technical course with artistic flame would be a great opportunity for me to combing my two interests or passions for computer graphics and painting. Oil and gas industry has been one of the most active fields in making a use of computer graphics technologies; as computer graphics applications have been the key to providing them a greater insight with extreme precision into their fields, increased their success rate and efficiency in many areas of exploration and production (E&P). They have an enormous potential to not only speed up the work, but more importantly, significantly improve accuracy. Being on this business for two years and earning a graduate degree from your prestigious institution would fully prepare me and give me many transferable skills needed to work in such job where I can challenge my academic education in a real-world, professional environment.

The spectacular qualities within the contemporary films that use VFX became progressively important to Hollywood. The popularity of the ever growing special effects has been increased by a growing demand for products in different multimedia forms such as computer games, theme-park rides and many other secondary outlets that frequently generated more profits then the films they were based on.
I am interested in this course and I want to develop my skills and knowledge further by doing a higher degree course,I want to pursue more experience and I feel that I am capable to learn more new skills and gain more experience and become a professional makeup artist. I would be so grateful to study in a class to and learn that would prepare me to work in the professional industry and not only do I think this course will enable me to learn more new forward skills and techniques and it will help me to perfect my techniques I have learnt so far But I will look forward to learning new techniques and working with new styles and professional equipment that I will be introduced too. I want to study under experienced tutors who will help me peruse my
Computer generated imagery has evolved and spread throughout cinematography and the film world like wildfire. Although computer generated imagery offers countless creative opportunities, the art form of special effects makeup should be practiced and preserved, as just that- an art form. Most people have begun to describe special effects makeup as anachronistic. Considering how long special effects makeup has been around, people are convinced that its existence is coming to an end.
Can I be the best in this field? Is this what drives my economic engine? The answer was clear. Always wanting to be in the oil and gas industry, this program was more satisfying than being a petroleum engineering major, one could say my transitions from majors went from good to great. First of my three circles, passion.
One of the films most important and groundbreaking technology is the use of motion capture. Motion capture technology has the ability to capture more realistic eye movements. Special reflective markers are placed onto the actors, which are wearing tight suits. Cameras recognize these markers and therefore the movements of the actor can be recorded. The captured data that was recorded is transformed into a digital model and transferred to a 3D software which would show the characters moving exactly how the actors did when they were performing for the scene. The data is cleaned up and animators will bring the character to life, with movement, texture, skeleton and muscles. An advantage that is offered in motion capture is it is more rapid and producing the animate...
Computer Generated Images, or CGI, is a form of Computer Graphics design, and animations, that make a image look 3D. These images are shown all throughout the media world, industry, and business, such as print media, tv, movies, pictures, commercials, etc. CGI’s have improved rapidly on software that helps our world improve on computer generated imaging. CGI software’s is used to make graphical design for purposes like movies in the theater. CGI companies and software’s, has made the technology age, and its computer has increase in speeds, and has allowed computer graphics programmers, and other companies, to make better quality films, games, and electronic digital photos on their CPU’s, or laptops. Because of the new advancement in software technology in CGI, and graphics designing, it has brought new internet religious cultures, its own new experiences, such as celebrities, and newer technological vocabulary. Technology advancement has increased so much that CGI’s has lead to the new beginning or era of virtual cinema photography.
Ever since I was little I remember playing games where I would fight the bad guy and win the girl in the end. This never seem to affect me or make me wonder what small effect it had on my thought process. In games such as Zelda, call of duty, assassin creed, gears of war, Mario, and even halo you play as a white heterosexual male. The idea of playing this way never seemed to phase me as a young child. As I grew up and became more aware of the difference of people and the need for other as well as myself a need to be able to connect and find one 's self in different place such as games, movies, and TV shows. I became aware of the one sided views that video games seem to have. Then I realized that it was seen as acceptable to only have the one sided displayed due to the lack of speaking out on the need for change.
In the beginning of animation, animators created images using pen and paper. They were then arranged to give the illusion of movement and depth. This type of animation is called traditional or 2D animation. This style is a great option if the animator is working with characters and want the benefits of a hand drawn quality. However, with 2D animation the animator would need to start completely from a scratch piece of paper to change the camera angle for a scene. Also, truth is fewer and fewer animators can create drawings needed to make a beautiful 2D animation. Today, animators have turned more to 3D animation. 3D animations are created on a computer, with modeling programs to produce a much more realistic and complex animation experience. What helps in making a lifelike animation, is the simple fact that it can be viewed and lit from all angles. 3D animation also adds textures that can be placed into live scenes and elements. This style can work for any concept and offers flexible, customizable, and an overall fluid motion. A friend (a non-animator) of J.K. Riki was asked why he thought 3D compared to 2D was “more real”. He replied and said, “blurs the line between fantasy and reality” and “a child’s daydream – and all other ages – is theoretically 3D, so it’s like their fantasies come to life”. However, what an animator must know is to achieve beautiful movement within the animation, animators must apply the same principles that apply to 2D. Just because it 3D is done digitally, doesn’t mean it is done completely for the
Throughout my undergraduate studies I was given a comprehensive exposure to the ever dynamic curriculum of Mechanical Engineering ranging from wide range of topics like Fluid Mechanics, Thermodynamics, Manufacturing, Machine design, Material science etc. These courses have helped me build a strong foundation in Mechanical Engineering and laid the necessary groundwork for pursuing graduate studies. I have maintained a clean and illustrious academic record of CGPA: 8.37 (on a scale of 10) which helped me to secure a degree in Mechanical Engineering with Distinction having placed in top 7% (10th in the competitive class of 140 students) of Mechanical Engineering Department of my college. I am also an AutoCAD Certified Associate which will surely add to my value.
This lesson is designed to review and reinforce a few important concepts about plants (e.g. Needs, parts, sequence of planting) and to also guide the students through applying a few scientific inquiry (e.g. Making observations, experimentation, discussion, reflection, reporting results etc.). The students have previously planted corn and bean seeds and today’s lesson has provided the students a chance to see the results of the planted corn and bean seeds. Additionally, seeds have been planted under and growing under the following conditions: without water, and without soil. The students see the results of these seeds planted under these conditions for the past week. Two plants in particular have already been grown their growth has been
Computer technology invades the film industry. The existence of computers have aided in the production of genres of film ranging from action movie special effects, to cartoon animation and claymation. Computer Generated Imagery, better known as CGI, assists filmmakers in many ways. An image can be made two-dimensional from a three-dimensional scene, camera angles can be altered to make a character seem larger and thus more important than its surrounding bodies, and colors can be brightened or neutralized, among other things (Parsons, Oja 1). Without the aid of computers, movies would not have the ability to be what they are today.
...y conceivable scene can be computer generated if resources are committed to achieve the desired goal. Technology is set to continue to revolutionise the film industry for many years to come (Huang 2004).
I will fund my exhibit through donations and sales. I would reach out to the community, explain my exhibit and ask for donations, but I would primarily generate revenue through selling items related to the exhibit like prints of the works being shown, creative posters, key chains, t-shirts and other mementos. Additionally, I would have bake sales and fairs and other activities of a similar nature.
I think that it is about time to make research on new types of virtual realities than it was done so far. New types of features that can feed our imagination, feelings and senses much more than we can conceive in real world.
