Week 9

• Modeling continued
• FFD
• Displacement
• Assignments
• Kitchen
• Alley way
• Layered Materials
• Lighting a scene

2
FFDs

• Free Form Deformations
• Configurable lattice deformation tool
• Demo
• Try it out
• Create a primitive
• Apply a FFD3x3x3
• Go in to modifier and select controls
• Then move controls point around to deform the
  geometry.
• Its animatable too

3
Displacement Modeling

• Using a bitmap/image to reshape an objects
  geometry.

4
Displacement Modeling

• Prac time Use the displacement map in the zip

5
Alley way exercise

• Create a brick wall and street then extend it to
  a small scene of a Melbourne alley way complete
  with several examples of graffiti.
• Model and texture 2 -3 scene objects to detail
  for use in the foreground of your image.
• Render One 800x 600 image

6
Alley way exercise
Unfinished example indicative scene geometry
density
7
Kitchen exercise

• Model and apply appropriate materials and render
  a kitchen scene with an array of kitchen objects.
• Render One 800x 600 image

8
Kitchen exercise

• Scene must be complete with 3-4 bench top objects

9
Layered Materials

• Composite materials is one of a couple of ways to
  create a multi-layered material in 3dsmax

10

• Combining multiple images and materials to make
  one final resulting material.

11
You can create them in photoshop and embed it
to the file. Or save it out separately to another
bitmap file. The black in the alpha represents
the image data that gets disregarded, the white
is the used portion of the bitmap

• Working with Alphas

12

• Composite Material

Scene Lighting Tips
Just go over some considerations to lighting a
scene
21
Scene Lighting Tips
Start with main light
Then add a Skylight (adds outdoor ambient
lighting)
22
Scene Lighting Tips
Then add small bounced lights
Then add some shadows in the shadows for depth
