Midterm Responses

 I looked at some of our classes midterms and they were all well done.  First I'm going to talk about Tyler Getz's midterm project.  He made a scene that looked like a lake with lily pads.  I really like how the water looks especially under the lighting.  If there was one thing I would change about the lighting I would make it cover the entire lake or just use a camera to only show the part that's lighted up.  Otherwise though I think the lighting looks really good and brings out the colors in the scene.  I also really like the choice of colors as they are very easy on the eyes and are just nice to look at.  I like the concept of a scene were a frog jumps on the lily pads and if it gets animated I'm excited to see it.  

I also saw Stephannie Sipaque's midterm project.  It was of a dinner table and I liked how it looked.  The textures were really good as it made the table, chairs, and fruits look more realistic.  I also really like the teapot model and the colors that are used for it as it looks well done and professional.  The lighting is also good although since there is only so much light it does look a little creepy and dark.  I feel if you add more lights then it would make the scene brighter and more visible.  The modeling for everything is really good and impressive but the one model I'd work on would be the plates.  They look a little flat and devoid of color.  I would try to add more color and make them look a little more three dimensional.  These are really just nitpicks though as I think this Midterm looks very well done.
