Charli stepping out into the world

[edit] Announcements

I got into the American Pavilion: LA Intensive summer program. I am so excited I got in.

• February 4th-17th In the Blanchard Gallery student work on display from J-term

• You may donate yarn to my charity if you would like. Just let me know if you have any.

[edit] Coming at You From Glendale (sort of)

Charli grew up in Glendale, California, but she is coming at you from South Hadley Mass. Charli has a strong grounding in the arts. Growing up she studied dance, music, and art. She hopes these will help her to create great designs for film and television.

[edit] Education

She is majoring in History with a concentration in South Asia and working on a second concentration in the United States. Her study of both has been centered around the impact of colonization by the British Empire.

She is minoring in Theater Arts. Study of stage arts has given her a solid grounding in set design and history.

[edit] Charity Work

an animal like this can bring a smile to your heart

In her free time Charli designs stuffed animals for charity. These animals will be given to children in the hospital. There are some photos of animals she has already made in an album on her Facebook page.

[edit] Favorite Place for Food

Charli loves to eat at home. She makes pies, but never one at a time. Tri-colored Peppermint Cookies are also a favorite.

[edit] Studio Lab Graphics

[edit] Lab 2

Final tree for the forest.	I find the process by which an image is produced to be as valuable at the image. I copied my tree to make a little forest.	My four trees	The solid ground make the trees not appear to be floating
Small changes to the code produced very different moods for each image.	a growing drak forest, the trees are multiplying	the trees appear larger in the light, the growing shadows give the trees more depth

[edit] Lab 3

All my objects

This is an image of all my objects and all my objects at 1/10 scale.

[edit] Lab 4

This is my red, blue and purple marble. It is very transperent and has a white plaster shpere in the center.

[edit] Modeling with Realistic Materials

This is the best image of my scene as a whole. Both street lamps are visiable. The night "sky" also allows the lamps to have some color and the lighting tools to cast more shadows. The scene only has light eminating from the objects that look like lamps (the streetlamps and the headlamps on the bus.

My bus in the daytime.

this time the refelections are so strong the bus appears transperent.

not all images turn out the way they are supposed to.

[edit] Lab 5 :Suprise!

See the ant come out of his hole.

See all his friends follow him out across the grass.

Too bad the duck is going to eat them all.

[edit] Lab 6 : Programing Replication

The streets were all added using multiAdd, so were the dancers. This scene is huge but it was easy to add all the street lamps, roads and dancers.This imag of a city park with women dancing in red dresses is a great dispaly of the multiAdd function that we learned in class.

[edit] Lab 7 : Bezier Curves

The waves in this image were created using 3 Bezier curves. The waves are then added using the much loved multiAdd. My surfer though brave to try to surf on such a turbulent day has fallen off again. Good thing she is wearing a bright yellow suit so the life guards can find her and her red board.

[edit] Lab 7 : Animated Scene

	My ocean seen from 4 vantage points		The wave starts its animation
	The waves have gone back into the ocean.

For the animation of this scene I used the ball toss code that we used in class. This lab is a prepitory step toward my final project, the RMS SS Titanic. The surfer now has a bright green bathing suit and a really dark tan. She needs to be resuced soon or the sunburn will get really bad. This is a lesson to children everywhere, wear your sunscreen.

My movie, Lets go surfing!

In this animation the waves wash over many many times by splicing the frames together many times.

[edit] Final Project

[edit] Stage One of the Titanic

	This igmage shows the differnt PatchMeshed that are being used.	Each section is a different color, this allows me to tell which patch needs to be adjusted when the points aren't where I want them.	Once the Patches are fixed the boat is made gray and red, like the Titanic.
	This is a view of the bow (front) of the ship.		This is a few of the stern of the boat looking toward the bow (back to front).
The Strange shape of the stern has something to do with reduced water surface tension.

[edit] Stage Two

Working with Waves:

My movie, The waves are rolling over

This is my first successful trial of the wave animation. For the final project there will be two groups of waves rolling along different paths to make the ocean look real.

[edit] Stage Three

More images as I get closer to the final product:

Iceberg			This iceberg is made out of 4 cubes with different materials overlaping to give the impression of the fractured within an iceberg
	This is from when the ice berg was added to the scene but not scaled with everything else in the scene

The Sunsetting colors

Still of the scene not yet animated

My movie, Circle the Titanic

[edit] The Final Step

This is a still from my final animation. The iceberg is just showing and the camera swings all the way around the back and over the stern of the Titanic. It was important to me that the sky change color as the camera moves. The color change is supposed to show the changing colors of the sky as the sun sets.
