Denise Jiang-Looking Outwards 09

Looking through my peer’s Looking Outwards posts, one of Shan Wang’s posts on 3D computer graphics caught my eyes. I have heard about Alex Roman and the architectural rendering film of the Exeter Library by Louis Khan. After watching the video and reading Shan’s opinion, I agree with her that this computer generated project is full of great uses of lighting, shades and color. I also liked how she described him as an CG artists who has amazing aesthetic sensibility and techniques in rendering. In addition, I think Roman’s works are valuable because his mix uses of different software and the carefully interpreted details of nature. He added active human figures into his renderings, which made them more lively and vivid.
