[edit] My Favorite Restaurant

There really isn't a restaurant in my town unless the roadside stand down on Route 169 counts. I have different favorite places to go depending on the fare I am up for. My favorite places for an egg and cheese raisin bagel is Bart's (Amherst). For atomic shrimp it would be Takah Sushi (Aspen). My favorite all-around place to work/ the best West Indian Shrimp and Scallop soup overall is Gwyn's (Snowmass).

Final Project




This is my first try at my final. The objects are not yet in their final positions. However, the scene now consists of a vase of flowers that are essentially one flower that is randomized in both its color and position 23 times. The crumpled piece of paper is the product of a couple hours of coding with the help of our professor, Jim Teresco. It is an awesome example of a list of points that are grouped with a function randomized with another function and randomized again with yet another function and then meshed (I know the mesh is a little anticlimatic). It looks pretty awesome. The envelope and the letters are the backdrop for the crumpled piece of paper. To the right of the pile of paper is a pearl necklace that adds a little bit of class to the scene which includes the fantastic multiAdd that we all know and love. The pearl is made of a custom color and material. In the far corner of the table we find a pile of change that if one looks closely looks like Harry Potter bewitched them because they tend to hover in space every once in a while because of their (translate is (rand -25 25)(rand -10 10)(rand -35 35)). Problem? No. It just adds a little character.

Sophie's Final Animation is a camera sweeping the final scene that I created with the multiple objects. The final scene consists of a wine bottle and a bit of extra scenery. The "La Dolce Vita" poster added a nice touch and made the blue walls a little more friendly and proves that I can indeed understand the function behind the creation of the billboard.
