Final #2

For this final I had to log into Portal Worlds from the Web3DChat.com website and then meet a few friends. Unfortunately I logged in a little late and only 1 friend was left. So I took a few screenshots with lily. And I photoshopped me into one that had a lot of people which I took from someone's blog.

Final #5

For this final I had to go into Second Life and find friends from the class and add them to my friends list. Although I couldn't get any people from class at the time I logged on I had approached one of the new people there and added to my friends list. After this we made conversation and I did a few gestures as part of the assignment as well as for the screen shots I enabled the hud and UI to be shown. Then took several screen shots.

Final #3

one two
For this I had to take the code for the .wrl file that was given in the tutorial and then edit it in some way to show that I understood it. Here are my two examples of how I edited the code.

Final #4

For this final I opened 3D Studio Max and made a basic character out of simple shapes. After I assigned a material of my face to the head of the character which was a sphere, and since it is a sphere the material got stretched leaving a very obscured image of me. Then I saved as a 3ds max native file and exported as .x3d

Here are links to them:

MIDTERM SUBMISSION POST

My midterm post is here... and below are the screenshots to prove it.

Midterm 10

For midterm 10 I used MS word drawing tools to create various shapes and lines to create a house scene. With different types of coloring fills on each of them.

Midterm 7

For midterm 7 I had found a picture of a celebrity off of google.com that I had wanted to edit. I then used the logo provided in the exercise section of the website and copied/pasted that into Photoshop. From there I used the ellipse selection tool to select the circle and then copied/pasted it onto the celebrity document. After I resized the circle to fit his eye then duplicated it to be used as his other eye. After this I made a black box at the bottom. After I used the text tool on 3 separate layers to add the text using different fonts and colors. Then posted it on my blog.

Midterm 6

For this I had to animate my name and save it as a .gif. In order to do so I took the ellipse tool and made a proportional circle in the middle of a blank document. I then took the text tool and assigned it to the path of the circle. After I had copied the text several times and set them each at different positions around the circle. After I separated out each of these into its own frame making an animation. Then posted on blog.

Midterm 5

In order to do this I had to take the monster.jpg from the resources portion of the course website and save it to my desktop. Following this I had to use the brush tool to write my name in large bold letters. After this I had to save the image in two different formats; progressive jpeg, and interlaced png. After that I posted on my blog.

Midterm 4

In order to do this I had gone to Web3DChat.com and entered the portal worlds portion of the site. From there I selected an avatar I liked and copied the URL. Then once in the world I pasted the URL into the properties dialog to see my avatar. Following this I took a screenshot and then went into Photoshop and pasted it. After I added the text from the website at the bottom of the image and added a white box behind it so the text became more visible. Finally saved it as png and posted.

Midterm 9

This is a screenshot of what I did in MS Word. It contains vector graphics made with various shapes and textures from the drawing palette in MS Word.

Manny Coffee

For this I found a picture of a celebrity on google.com then saved it to my dekstop. After I saved the java.gif image to my desktop and opened it in MS Paint. Then I resized the image to the size of Manny's eyes and then copied the result. Following this I opened the celebrity picture and pasted the cup of coffee over both his eyes

Color Ramp (.jpeg)

Here, the jpeg formats tries to smooth out the color differences, making the image lose that crisp edge feeling. But this format allows for more colors to be used.

Color Ramp (.gif)

The gif formats allow for a crisp edge, making the loss of quality for flat colored images very low.

Redeye with paint

I just did the redeye exercise with MS Paint

Red Eye Assignment

.png

.jpg

.gif


For the red eye assignment I had to open the redeye.jpg that I had modified and re-save it as the two other file extensions. The only notable differences were the great loss in quality after saving as a gif, for it only could use 256 colors. Also the .gif had the smallest files size. The jpeg was great quality and a good file size but the .png had the same quality as the jpeg but was almost 3x the file size.

Midterm 3

For this last exercise, I saved the ball.tiff to my desktop and opened it. After I had used the brush tool to write my name on the side of the image, big enough to read. After I had gone to file>save as and saved the image as the three different file formats: jpeg, png, and gif. Then posted on my blog.

(the order of the images go jpeg, gif, png)
