LO: Computer Graphics

This piece, called “Secret Ramen”, is by 3D student Laura Keuk, who used programs Brush and 3ds Max, as well as Adobe photoshop and aftereffects to create the final image of the beautiful ramen bowl. I admire the simple beauty of the image; the detail, the colors, the lighting that invoke a warm, dreamy atmosphere. A secondary source cites that she used displacement for the oily soup texture, and particle simulation to spread out the onion rings around as garnish. I love that she chose something as simple and “commonplace” as food to painstakingly detail and craft, and shows her appreciation for the small joys in life, especially the importance of having and sharing good meals.
