DJ Dustbin cover 2 (Art Homework)

You guys remember I made an art homework a coupe of weeks ago, well I have a new version now which is also homework. The teacher said we all need to add a picture on.

 

The computer screens were from a photo I took myself of my Dad's recording studio after he set up the computers (he doesn't let me touch the computers lol).

 

The tect and the compositing were both made in Blender.

 

Here are the steps I took:

 

1. Model the text and get the animation and lighting in place

 

2. Take a picture now that my Dad was ready.

 

3. Go into GIMP (photo editor) and darken it all down apart from the computer screens. I did this by putting a mask over the computer screens by adding a new layer, making it black with a 50% opacity so that I could see what I was doing and then transform them to make them fit perfectly with the screens. I then filled them in black (100% opacity) and merged the two layers togeather. I then added another layer and made it black with a big opacity (I'm not sure of the number because I added some each time). I then selected the masks, pressed "Alpha To Selection" to get anything in that area selected, chose the darkening layer and deleted the selection that I made. I then deleted the masks because they weren't needed now leaving me a nice background with some audio editing software.

 

4. I uploaded it to my computer and put it on a UV Unwrapped plane in Blender.

 

5. I adjusted the lighting and depth of field.

 

6. I then composited with a mixture of filters and colour modifications.

 

7. Rendered it.

 

8. Uploaded it.
