Vocab Review 4

• Displacement Mapping- alternative computer graphics technique in contrast to bump mapping, normal mapping, and parallax mapping, using a height map to cause an effect where the actual geometric position of points over the textured surface are displaced
• Bump Mapping-  simulates bumps and wrinkles on the surface of an object
• Rendering- generating an image from a 3D model
• Alpha Channel- combining an image with a background to create the appearance of partial or full transparency
• NURBS vs Polygon- NURBS are the representation of curves and surfaces. Polygons are plane figures
• Tiling- the process of subdividing an image by regular grid
• Skinning-   used to change deformations
• Aperture- is a hole or an opening through which light travels
• Shutter Speed- The amount of light that reaches the film or image
• Focal Length- Camera lens focal lengths are usually specified in millimetres
• 
• Dolly- a film sequence
• 
• Pan- a type of computer network
• 
• Roll Aspect Ratio-  A long wing has higher bending stress for a given load than a short one and therefore requires higher structural design specifications

5/27 Classwork

I didn't get any work done. i helped the teacher with cleaning up and scanning files. i also couldn't work because my computer was updating of something so i had to use a different one.

5/21 ClassWork

I worked on my light saber some more. i should be done by the time we have finals

5/19 Classwork

Today in class i worked on my light saber. i am almost done with it, i should be done with it by next class.

5/15 Classwork

it was a short day so i didn't get too much done, but i did work more on my Light saber. i just finished the handle. i think i will be done in two more classes.

5/13 Classwork

In class i worked more on the light saber i got some help and now i understand how to do the hand grip. i will finish it next class and move on to the next step.

5/9 ClassWork

today in class i began working on the lighting, i am pretty far behind in it i still haven't asked for help, but i am kinda understanding it now. next class i will get some help and Finish it. i also need some help on the light saber, but i think my teacher will go over it when he goes over it.

5/7 Classwork

I was working some more on my light saber  i am having trouble using the lighting and this is the second time it got deleted. i will try to get some help next class.

5/5 ClassWork

 I was working on the Lighting Assignment some more i am going through it and playing with the lighting. i should be done with it next class and start working on the light saber some more.

ClassWork 5/1

i finished and posted 3/4 of my vocab. i will finish the other one another time. i also worked on my lighting assignment from class. i forgot to save my work so i had to restart. but i will be done next class and post it in my blog as soon as i'm done.

• Rhythm- movement marked by the regulated succession of strong and weak elements
• Directional Movement-  is actually a collection of three separate indicators combined into one 
• Proportion / Scale- used to calculate percent that an original image must by reduced. 
• Balance-  an even distribution of weight enabling someone or something to remain upright and steady. 
• Unity- a whole or totality as combining all its parts into one. 
• 
• Harmony- the combination of simultaneously sounded musical notes to produce chords and chord progressions having a pleasing effect.
•  
• Contrast- the state of being strikingly different from something else, typically something in juxtaposition or close association. 
• 
• Emphasis (Focal Point / Center of interest)- the point at which all elements or aspects converge; center of activity or attention

Vocab Review 2

• Line- is a graphics primitive that represents a line joining a sequence of points.
• Shape- Form of an object and opposed to other properties like color and texture.
• Form / Volume- a volume form on a differentiated manifold is a nowhere-vanishing top-dimensional form 
• Color-  is the visual perceptual property corresponding in humans to the categories called red, blue, yellow, green and others. Color derives from the spectrum of light  
• 
• Value/Tone- is a representation of variation in the perception of a color or color space's brightness. 
• Texture- the visual and especially tactile quality of a surface
•  
• Space- is the boundless three-dimensional extent in which objects and events have relative position and direction.
•  
• Perspective- a technique of depicting volumes and spatial relationships on a flat surface.
