Skybox

 


Skybox

I created a vast, isolated, outdoor environment in terragen and rendered the scene from 6 different viewpoints of the camera centered in the terragen world.

 

 

 


The Theatre

 


The Theatre

I then added these into 3DSMax to create an environment for a clowny theatre that I whipped up using the actual dimensions of the stage area of the Loeb Playhouse Theatre. This was to enhance my dream to have access to something like the real thing to experiment and create my own phanstasmagoric 21st century theatre pieces. Basically I built the core of a "real thing" and eliminated the rest of the "realities" that surround it--all of the politics and social dynamics that contribute to the odds against this dream--by substituting an imaginary theatre in an imaginary space in a surealestate of my own making. If I can't do the real thing, I can do the virtual thing.

This was my first time really using a 3D package like Max so there are definitely some issues with lighting, geometry, and texturing. But I made a lot of progress by doing this project.

For simple interaction I put two spheres on the architecture for the occupant to click on to raise and lower the projection screen.
