4/22/10 Class

12:20-2:35 PM

  1. Opened the ball file and changed the values a few times, making previews to check; the ending values are: X&Z: 1.25, .95...etc.,Y: .85, 1...etc.
  2. The problem of the day was a matter of size and angle, when I merged the ball file into the scenery file the ball was the same size as the trees and 90 degrees out of place
  3. Solution for the problem: Enlarge the scene (trees and all) and rotate the set-up 90 degrees to the right
  4. Now I modified the placement of the trees; and the tree that the ball stops by I enlarged and shifted off to the side while moving 2 other trees to fill in large gaps in the center of the scene
  5. The light (although I really didn't want to change it) had to be modified in order to increase the amount of light; I tested different effects be decided that I was just going to make the light bigger so that way I didn't have to tweak too much and lose the effect that I was going for, and I had to shift its position to be a bit higher and off to the right
  6. I'm typing this as the scene is rendering  and it just finished now at about 3:05 PM so it took around a half hour, give or take.
Note: I have files saved to the hard drive and as soon as I finish this post I'm going to put them into my folder on this computer #14
