Light Modulator

Posted By: Jordan Parsons

Our latest IDM assignment was to create a light modulator. Working with my partner Aaron Chenault, we designed the following setup for our light modulator. We have yet to laser cut it, but when I do I will have pictures of the cut and assembly. So here are the details of the assignment along with some quick 3D stuff to get a feel for how it will look.

Edit:

It is now cut, with the renders and photos taken, pictures after the break.

V-Ray – HDRI Skymaps

One of the facets of rendering that has interested me was HDRI, but when I used Mental Ray in 3dsmax it was a little to complicated for me to get right. So now that I have switched to V-Ray, I decided to give it a try. I found some free HDRI skymaps here:Evermotion. With those I decided to give it a try, images after the jump.

Light Blocks – 3D Study

Posted By: Jordan Parsons

This is a 2250 frame fly around of a project I am working on as a personal study. I know I could have done a little better with the camera, but for a first attempt, I’m pretty happy. There really is no meaning, its purely a study. My biggest issue is the flickering that can be seen around the floor, but I think now that I have 3Dsmax I can correct that.
