Midterm #10

It is a midterm exercise from the Immersive Education course that I am taking at Boston College. The course is called Discovering Computer Graphics. For details, visit the immersive BC portal at 
http://ImmersiveEducation.org/@/bc.
For creating my own graphic house, I used variety of shapes and changed the degree of shapes. The shapes include smiley face, clouds, sun and post. This midterm was very similar to midterm #9. However, one of the different functions was that I could bring one shape froward and backward from the another one. For example, I created the roof before the chimney but I did (right click -> bring backward).

First, I created new document. On insert tab, I opened shapes button. After drawing one shape, new tab came up, which was drawing tool. I used variety of shapes and also changed background of shapes using shadows. Texts were written by using Textboxes.

Examine Texture Map

 

This is an example of flat shaded object. The cliff seems unrealistic.

This is an example of flat shaded object. The ocean seems more like 2D than 3D.

This is an example of flat shaded object. The rocks are in simple color.

This is an example of texture map. It is in a lot of different colors and shapes.

This is an example of texture map. Rockets form in many different shapes, which help to seem more realistic.

This is an example of texture map. This is similar to rocket pictures. It is interesting that surrounding walls are actually in flat shaded and objects, such as rockets, are in texture map.

Texture Map

Using texture mapping, the picture seems more realistic, increasing quality and accuracy of the picture. The picture, in flat shaded, only has simple color and shade; therefore, it seems unrealistic and has low quality. For example, if you see the rims of the tank, it is hard to distinguish between rims and body of the tank for first picture. However, for second picture, it is much easier and more realistic to notice the rims.

<Progressive JPEG File>

<Interlaced PNG File>

The difference between progressive .JPG and interlaced .PNG is that they have different loading process. Progressive .JPG loads monster picture top to bottom and interlaced .PNG loads the entire image at once.

This picture was originally from the Midterm #1 (Removing red eyes). [Explanation of removing red eyes is in post name "Midterm #1 (Red Eyes)] Using GIMP, I changed original picture, which was saved in .jpeg file type, into .gif and .png format.

Class 2, Assignment 4

Rocket World is built using open simulator. It’s different from other virtual platform. It is familiar with second life.

Most common way to move around is arrow key. When text chat is open, it is not possible to move around with arrow key. Left most button is text chat.

Local chat button shows history of chatting.

Scroll on the mouse changes the perspective (Wide view or narrow view). Click on avatar’s back then it also changes the perspective (Up and Down).

There is a fly button, which makes better view. Also, you can hold your E key and C key. When you press stop flying button, then gravity comes back and the avatar goes again to the ground.

Mini-map button shows various regions. It can be resized the mini-map using mouse. Yellow dots on mini-map are indication of your friends. By double-clicking other colors of avatars, you can add them as friends.

One of advantages of having lot of friends is that you can actually use teleports.
