Camera's and Lighting

Lighting Test

To test the way in which lighting works a basic scene was constructed, in this instance a lamp was created to how light works in amongst solid objects in max. I created the lamp and put an Omni light inside it, this gave the effect of a focused spot light. I also added a focused spot pointing at the lamp from the other side of the room, this gave a nice shadow projection of the far wall. An Omni light was also used into the room to light up everything else that was not in the direct path of the spot lights.

Camera Test

To test how cameras work some basic shapes were made in max. A camera was then added to the scene. Once this was placed the perspective view was changed to camera 1. Once the camera was set up I created a circle and constrained the camera to its path. After this was done I rotated the circle so that the camera changed height as it rotated. The scene was then altered using the lighting techniques from first exercise and rendered to a video.
