Description:
OLYMPIC STAIN BLUEPRINT:
Shows the evolution of a “dream house” from blueprint stage to its realization. Techniques included a three-layer digital composite of live action film elements and a stochastic UV coordinate generator, for natural looking wood texture. SHELL OIL ENGINE:
Shows the creation of a sports car and the effect that Shell gasoline has on it. The Camaro Z28 was originally modeled in Detroit on an automotive CAD system and was processed through the A.LR. software system.
TRW RAPID PROTOTYPING:
Graphically demonstrates a software prototyping technique used by TRW. Human facial animation was accomplished using a hybrid of traditional animation techniques, video based three-dimensional scanning and parametric animation software. Skin textures were scanned, enhanced on a paint system and mapped onto the animating face.
