Online Class Notes (Jesse)

Today most of video games and 3D movies use unreal engines to demo architectures. In order to make things look real, some studios will send people to somewhere to shoot and scan huge architectures to build the high-resolution module. For example, Epic Games studio sent people to UTAH states to scan rocks which represent evolution in making video games and all three-dimensional art. The people who scan the rocks spent most time in an area called Hurrah Pass which took about 90 minutes to get to the destination. And it was in an off-road capacity which was really sketchy for lack of a better way to put it. When the guys arrived the location, they searched the rocks that might look good and scanned the rocks in a bunch of different angles. Meanwhile, they used the tent to keep light even with no hard shadows. After that, they pulled the pictures into software, and stitched them into a 3D model. And the software figured out what a complete rock looks like and the common points formed a picture, and made up a scanned asset. Apart from this, they used a drone to captured the texture of the rock wall and the canyon. After that, they sculpted the assets using a special software. And through the software, they can adjust the color, shape and angles to make it looks real as well as remixing and customizing assets.

In order to make things look real, some studios will send people to somewhere / some people to a location to shoot and scan huge architectures / buildings / objects / landscapes to build the high-resolution module.
