[FINISHED] The Table Light mini project

room base
In this lesson we are learning about lighting, shadow and camera first you have a base of the room scene.

We use directional light for wide area and spot light for the lamp so it would focus in one area


 This is after all light install

this is after rendering so the shadow and shade of gray could be seen.

[FINISHED] The Orange mini project

base
We start of with this pre made circular figure with bump on top resembling an orange.









 After applying the bump map to the orange
note that it doesn't appear until you look at it in the render.

This is what it actually look like with bump it look more liek real orange and not just a round rubber orange circle.

You can also do it via Interactive Placement and you would be able to scale it on the spot

[FINISHED] The Apple mini project

this mini lesson teach the basic of rendering and material. In this lesson I get to learn about different material and how it look after render. 
base
Since in the beginning the tutorial have you experiment with the basic material like Blinn and Lambert so that the texture or the look of the object. For example Blinn have shiny surface while Lambert is more dull.  
After than we add color and texture so this is how it look in the render. 
front view, rendered

The image is a little different from what is being display in the work space this is the render version. So it look much more realistic and textured.


In this lessons we also get into a little bit of animation we get to see
camera tumble and show it moving around the apple at 200 frame per second. It was simple yet quite amusing.
