For our third assignment, I will have to model historical buildings and set some camera angles, I don't know how much work I will have to do, but it's a requirement for me to finish within this semester. Me and a bunch of course mates went to Putrajaya for a site visit to photograph the details on the buildings like mosque and government monuments. It's quite amazing how they build their buildings, but I don't think I can model it in a short period of time, this assignment is heavy and I should put more effort onto doing it. I will update my blog with my progress I believe, to keep track on how much work I still have to complete.

It requires a few tools and techniques to model it,as for the details, I will use photoshop to paste online images for the details, but most of my work will be modeled myself. I was told that, in 3Ds Max, there are online resources on the details for those buildings and its better to paste those details than using photoshop images.

In the previous week, we talk about the early days of 3D films and how they were invented. This week we continue to talk about how it more technique were surfaced.

Due to the great depression, 3D slows down in the late 20's and early 30's, and it's not talked about until 1936, when Edwin Land demonstrates 3D imaging using polarized light, this is achieved by two images being projected in sync on the silver screen through polarizing filters which filters are then separated by polarized glasses worn by each audience, giving the illusion of 3D.

3D movies are very common nowadays like Resident Evil: The Final Chapter, La La Land and most recently The Great Wall, 3D movies have generated new technologies and investments to make it better, like the IMAX 3D experience.



The trend started recently in the early 2000s, they all seem like something relatively new, but that's not how it goes. 3D stereoscopic photography was first created in the early 1840's, invented by Charles, by mimicking 2 eyes, a stereoscopic camera takes 2 images at once, one to represent each eye view one to represent each. Each photo offset by a small distance about the same distance as our human eyes are apart, it creates perspective. In the past, special viewing devices were used to view 3d photos your left eye sees the left image and then right eye sees the right, and when these two views when seen at once, there are combined by the brain into one image, which your brain imagines as depth. The below image is a stereoscope,
In the 1890s, the first patent to film motion pictures in 3D filed in the US by Will Green, and his idea was a machine that runs 2 strips of film in synchronization, it was successful but ignore, because it was impossible for large theater viewing. In 1915, Edwin Porter and William Waddell turns on a test film to audience in New York, His films are films which had left and right lens superimposed over one another with red and cyan or red and green-tinted images, as audience would wear tinted glasses to block out one image from one eye and the other image from the other, giving the illusion of 3D.

In 1922, William Cassidy and Laurence Hammond created an alternative method for 3D films called Teleview, which when a single strip of film projects left and right images one after another in the audience looks through a viewing machine which opens and closes shutters in front of each eye in sync with the images that appear on the screen.

This week it's all about the movies in the animation genre that will be showing this year. Animated movies are more categorized as suitable for the whole family for its' cartoonish unreal content, and it suits the whole family. For kids, they don't enjoy watching people talking but when it comes to colorful animals or object talking, they love it so much. That is why animations were made mainly for kids.
