lines, lines, lines
To do this project, I first started with the general layout of my one-perspective room. This was an incredibly important step, as it allowed me to easily create correctly proportioned objects and promoted further realism.
Oh, memories!
With the framework all finished, it was time to actually fill the room with objects. Unfortunately, I don't have a high-res picture of the room on its own, but it can easily be explained as your quirky grandmother's outdated living room, complete with bright orange shag carpeting, purple paisley walls, and retro furniture. I think it came out pretty well, and had fun furnishing my little virtual room.
Now came the interesting part: finding an interesting backdrop to put my fantastically grandma-esque room in. I fooled around with all different backgrounds, including snow globes, fish tanks, and even the moon. But this picture especially spoke to me, since it's possibly the least likely place to find a building: 12,000 feet above the ground.
To add a bit to the skydiving element, I also placed a parachute above my perspective room and added in some lines to represent cord attached to the room.
look at it goooo :-)
Finally, I decided to add some falling furniture to the picture to make things a bit more interesting. I achieved this falling effect with two separate applications of motion blur at 8-16 pixels and varying angles, all under a duplicate of the original object.
perfection!
And that was it! This certainly wasn't the most challenging project, but it was certainly fun to work with all different techniques, including a lot of distortion and 3D elements. Though I'm not sure if I'd love doing this type of project all the time, it was a great skill to be exposed to and something I enjoyed doing.
