Activity 11: 3D images
We used this activity to buid a 3D image inside the 3D world SecondLife. We were asked to construct an object inside this real world simulation website of our choice. I chose a cone. I altered the object by changing its gradient to Spanish tile. I then made it transparent as well as emphasized it's shininess. I rotated it so it's tile marks showed more to the people which allowed the uneven sections to reveal themselves, and lengthened it so it was taller than all the avatar present. My final image looked like this:
This activity taught me how to operate inside a 3D world. It opened my eyes to graphic design which is quite an interesting task. I found as I was producing my object that graphic design is a bit of a tedious task for me, but I appreciate the effort that so many people take to make websites, etc to look as good as they do. It is extremely hard work to make something look realistic, on top of which being aesthetically pleasing. I think that I did a decent job for one who had never even seen a website like this before let alone operate in it. 3D life is a lot more challenging than I ever thought.
