Shading to Match the Real

Here are videos that match each rock. Make sure to remember your number to match your video and also tell me again when you return the rock later this semester.

Interestingly, you may find that more details show under close detail and with particular lighting. Do your best to match yours. This video reference could help. You are also welcome to try to match the polished labradorite, instead, or make yours have some qualities or variability to match that, but you should work toward the reference material as best possible.

Regarding the turntable, I did not have time to make these ‘loopable,’ but you may find it worthwhile to edit your particular mov file with Quicktime or other utility to start and stop on similar frames so that you could loop your video to continue seamlessly. This would be helpful in critiquing your rendered loop as you try to match the reference. I did not check the timing, but you could adjust the timing that I added to the dpa8090assg01 main.cpp file to match the speed of the video turntable, if desired. (And build in the purple wall, too, of course).

Experiment, have fun, and see what you can create.
