Creating Stereoscopic 3D Images

In this last homework assignment, we had to create anaglyph (two-color) stereoscopic images. In order to do this, we had to take two photographs from slightly different perspectives and combine them into one image. To see if our image was successful, we had to use a pair of anaglyph 3D glasses to test it out. For making my images, I used Adobe Photoshop.

I thought this assignment would be difficult to do, but I ended having so much fun!! Now that I know how to make 3D images, I will most definitely use it for some future projects. :D

Recreating Cameras and Lights in Maya

In Maya, we had to recreate a photo that was assigned to us. Honestly, this assignment was difficult for me. I tried many different lights and angles to replicate the photo for days, but this was the closest I got to it.

Although I found this assignment challenging, I learned the importance of how light can create different moods and make an image more effective and beautiful.

Bonus Points: Lighting a Scene in Maya

As mentioned in the last post, we used the software Maya to create a scene—making a floor, a wall, and using the initials of our name as the subject with the addition of lights.

For my first light, I used the spotlight to create the strong shadows of the letters.

My second light was the ambient light to add fill lighting.

The third light I used the directional light for rim lighting.

My last blog post has the original image.

Building a Scene in Maya

For this assignment, we used the software Maya to create a scene—making a floor, a wall, and using the initials of our name as the subject.

I wanted to have letters that looked blocky as if they were blocks for a child. I intended to have the 'R' knocked down to create a playful effect to it.

In the next blog post, I've added lights to the scene.
