Arturo Crespo
Arturo's entry comprised two images of a vase, textured using Ken
Perlin's marble solid texture. The first still took about 3 minutes to
render with 3 by 3 antialiasing. It employs two lights to achieve
realism:
- The scene is illuminated from the bottom with a dark blue
directional light.
- The base itself is illuminated by a point light colored a mild red.
In this second image, rendered in 42 seconds without antialiasing, the
base on which the vase is resting is textured with a granite texture
designed by Arturo himself. The scene is illuminated by three lights:
- A dark blue light shines from the bottom, allowing us to see a
more realistic flashlight and base.
- There are two point lights exactly at the "bulb" of the
flashlight. The first one is a red light, which gives a warm feel to
the vase; the second one is white, which causes the flashlight to look
like it's emitting light.
Arturo would like to acknowledge the work of Danny Huber, his
programming partner: while Arturo alone designed the competition
entries, without the projects that Arturo and Danny wrote together
during the quarter, he wouldn't have been able to generate these
images.
