Tony Stark’s Lab: Ray-Traced Image

jchavand_gdong

Inspired by the film Iron Man 2, this scene captures Tony Stark's garage-turned-laboratory (my project partner and I are huge Marvel fans). The goal was to depict a realistic scene with the use of Maya, OpenGL, and a Raytracer.

  • In Maya
    • created 3D sunglasses, background walls, and tunnel from scratch
    • heavily modified Iron Man suit by decomposing it and adding wires
    • texturized objects and implemented normal mapping
  • In OpenGL/C++
    • implemented all lighting, including creating our own Spotlight class
    • implemented reflectivity, transmission, and specular highlights
    • raytraced the image to produce the final high-quality image
partnered with Grace Dong, mentorship from Prof. Ron Fedkiw
