Computer Graphics

I recently had the opportunity to worth with Lei-Wei He and Eng-Shien Wu for the annual CS348B rendering competition. Each group in the class chooses to implement a number of features for their ray tracer and then proceeds to attempt to render as realistic of an image as possible of a object. For our project, we decided to attempt to model a tree on the shore of a lake. We received second place for our efforts (out of 14 groups participating), only failing to beat out a very nicely done license plate. Two of our images are available here. You can check out the others at the rendering competition home page.

Poster Boy

As I member of the Stanford Fleet Street Singers, I held the auspicious title of "Poster Boy". What did this entail? Following the great tradition of full-color, high impact posters for auditions and Spring Show, as well as stylish posters for all of our other shows during the year. In addition, I spent a great deal of time on the "Fleet Street Spring Show Movie". My two major posters were for the 1996-97 Auditions and the 1997 Spring Show, "Late Nite with Fleet Street".

Fleet Street Spring Show Movie

So, what was "the movie"? Debuted at Fleet Street's 1996 Spring Show, the "Fleet Street Spring Show Movie" caused quite a stir in the amateur animation world. It won two prestigious awards for the Modern Master's of 3D International Art and Design Contest; Best Animation and Best Non-Commercial Art-Animation of the year for 1996. The movie was a six and a half minute long, fully computer rendered and animated film. It consisted of roughly 100 scenes, rendered at 640x480 and 30 fps. This resulted in nearly 12,000 frames. The majority of the rendering and animation was done my Rob Morris and myself, but the project as a whole was certainly the product of the effort and determination of all of Fleet Street that year.
