COMPACT DIGITAL CAMERA: Preparing the camera for rendering, II

Christopher Tyler Apr, 19th 2012 0 Comments
This tutorial shows how to correctly set up several pieces of the camera lens assembly in order to render anisotropic reflections. It demonstrates a possible (and common) problem and several techniques for solving it. The use of cylindrical mapping and a unique use of the lathe tool are explored for generating UV's (using BurnUV).

Double walled geometry and bitmap projection

Christopher Tyler Dec, 11th 2011 1 Comment
This tutorial shows how to create a label applied onto a cylindrical type object which has thickness. It helps to show how to prevent the label from being projected onto the inside of the object using UV mapping. Part of the exercise shows how to set up the label material so the bitmap applies predictably and with a specific size. This also helps to show how Design3D handles the creation of UVs for newly created polygons.

Project Component: Texturing and Rendering a Bar Stool

Christopher Tyler Dec, 7th 2011 7 Comments
This tutorial textures and renders a modern bar stool type object. This includes setting up the environment, the materials of the bar stool (metals, anisotropy, glossy wood texture) and setting up glow panels for use in lighting. This is a follow up tutorial to the modeling of the bar stool.
