Week 10

Scene 1...

The first scene of the third ident consists of a camera panning around a hospital bed. The bed contains a broken or sick television set.
The scene is made up of simple objects and i have used my own materials and textures. The hospital bed is made up of an arrangement of cylinders for the frame with two mesh smoothed boxes for the mattress and pillow.
The television set has been made up in the same way as the 'main character' with the exception of the antenna. The antenna on the set are produced using the line tool and then expanding the thickness of the line.
The rest of the scene is constructed from box shapes, with the exception of a few cylinders for the heart monitor stand and the bedside table. The monitor shape was smoothed using a mesh smooth modifier.

The scene is lit by two omni lights with the Shadow function selected to produce the darker areas.

The majority of the textures were all produced in Adobe photoshop. I used a UVW Map to resize the materials when necessary so that they blended well with the rest of the scene. The reflective materials on the TV casing and heart monitor were produced using a Raytrace modifier.

Scene 2...

The second scene was made using the same hospital model. No changes to the materials or lighting had to be made. The television in the scene had been given a path constraint. I created the path using the line tool to give the appearance of a bounce. In the final edit the line doesn't appear in the video as it too small in size to be visible. The television model is the same as the one used in the other two idents.

Scene 3...

The last scene of the ident shows the TV set with a stethoscope rapped around it. The scene is simple but it is effective. Again the TV model remains the same with the addition of the stethoscope. This was made up using the line tool to get the shape and three cones for the other pieces.

The scene is lit with a stationary upward facing spotlight. All objects in the scene remains stationary except for the camera which pans around the focus point (TV) along a curved path constraint.

The materials for the TV and stethoscope were made using the Raytrace modifier. By changing the diffuse colour i was able to achieve the purple and black colours as well as achieving a reflection.

I created this panel to show a selection of the images i used to create material throughout the three scenes of the third ident.
