Wine glass illuminated by a Luxo Lamp. Pixar classic short,
little Luxo, the playful lamp that enlightened the world of
computer animated 3D. Also, some example screen snapshots in
Maya from 2009.
Creating
a LAMP consisting of half of a NURBS sphere
(squashed),
three Polygon
cylinders, one polygonal cone, and one spotlight. (February 20th, 2013
class).
What will your LAMP look like? 3 polygonal cubes for the
base of the lamp, 3 polygonal cubes elongated for the arms of the lamp,
and one NURBs cone for the lamp shade. Of course, there will be one
spotlight inside the lamp shade (inside the NURBS cone object). And
that spotlight will SHINE and CAST SHADOWS.
