Fire Drill Project

    For this project, my problem was that I was to render an escape route from the computer room where I have this class to the nearest safety exit.  I was to create this room in detail and use a bongo camera tool to follow a first-person path from my seat, out the door of the room, down the hall, and to the exit.  I started off by creating a computer similar to the ones in the room.  I then created the room's walls and doors, and all of the little details on them.  I then created a table and put the computers on it and then copied that table and placed it in the appropriate parts of the room.  I then created the hallway where the path would follow and added the lighting, and I was finished.  I had to create several different prototypes throughout creating my room.  I had to remove some detail to allow the file to be run smoothly and to render in a reasonable time.



Reflection

    If I had more time and could have changed a few things about my work, I would have added lockers in the hall, made the ceiling higher and the POV line that the camera was to follow lower, added chairs, overturned a few computers who were horizontal, added the pole that is in the middle of the room, added mice to the computers, and added a opening doors in the doorways.  I would have also added the other various machines in the room that where not included in my render.
