Reflection Of 3d Animations

687 Words2 Pages

3d Animations have amazed me ever since the first toy story came out. I wanted to know how it was made that I got the book Toy Story: The Art and Making of the Animated Film. Reading the book only made me fall more in love with computer graphics and made me thirstier to learn more about this field. I watched every Pixar, double negative and DreamWorks movie, paying close attention to lightning, shadows and all rendering details, wanting to know how they were modelled, lightened, illuminated and rendered behind the scenes. Even though I don’t play video games, I always watched my brothers play games such as call of duty, and Crysis to see the real time rendering. From the first lecture of computer graphics undergrad course, I immediately knew that I wanted a master’s degree in this field to explore this awesome world of computer graphics. Attending more lectures, my fascination for computer imagery grew which made me more certain that I needed this degree to deepen my knowledge. I wish to extend my expertise, broaden my scope, gain more skills, and get exposed to state-of-the-art graphics technologies. I am especially interested in realistic computer generated images, high dynamic range imaging, and global illumination. My third year project was a 3d board game where objects, the board and the pieces were modeled and textured in Autodesk Maya, exported to opengl where the rest of the work was done. Other than the AI, real time rendering of the game to make it visually stand out from the crowd was a major challenge as I had to overcome opengl shadowing limitation by analyzing different shadowing options, deciding which one to use for optimized speed. Completing the project and the other opengl labs in my undergrad study requir... ... middle of paper ... ...technical course with artistic flame would be a great opportunity for me to combing my two interests or passions for computer graphics and painting. Oil and gas industry has been one of the most active fields in making a use of computer graphics technologies; as computer graphics applications have been the key to providing them a greater insight with extreme precision into their fields, increased their success rate and efficiency in many areas of exploration and production (E&P). They have an enormous potential to not only speed up the work, but more importantly, significantly improve accuracy. Being on this business for two years and earning a graduate degree from your prestigious institution would fully prepare me and give me many transferable skills needed to work in such job where I can challenge my academic education in a real-world, professional environment.
