1st Deliverable

This really isn't very exciting... go to our main project page for more up to date info and pics.

Our 1st deliverable involved the following aspects:

1. Design Completed

(what objects, where, what color scheme and textures)

Key and Textures

1. chair -- uses velvet shader and will be dark tan in color.
2. window -- the sill will have a white-painted wood texture; the window glass itself will use the built in Renderman glass shader.
3. end table -- uses built in Renderman wood shader; the ideal is the color and hue of cherry wood.
4. coffee cup & saucer -- uses built in Renderman plastic shader; the cup and saucer will be white, the coffee dark brown, and the steam is mentioned below.
5. throw rug -- we may put this in later; if so, will be a blue rope style textured rug.
6. floor -- uses built in Renderman carpet shader and will be medium chocolate in color.
7. ceiling -- not seen.
8. tools -- fire place tools: brush, shovel, poker. Use a brassy appearing manipulation of built in Renderman metal shader.
9. hearth -- uses cinder block shader, but with an appropriate brick-red color scheme.
10. fire -- will use either built in wood shader or a custom shader for the logs; the fire itself is discussed below.
11. fire pit -- really just an extension of the hearth.
12. bookcase -- the bookcase itself will match the end table; the books' spines will be a polished version of this flat texture map.
13. back wall -- uses custom wallpaper texture.

2. Researching Shader Techniques

We came up with the following techniques for shading:

• fire -- We decided to shade the fire using a rewritten volumetric version of the flat flame shader we found.
• steam -- We are shading the steam from the coffee cup using a volumetric smoke shader.
• water drops -- The water drops will be created with a procedural displacement map which will allow for animation

3. Modeling Begun

Modeling has indeed begun, no completed objects as of yet though.
