For this assignment, we were supposed to create a skysphere in Maya. A skysphere is a 3D sphere with a sky or environment texture mapped over it. As I was google-ing panoramic images I stumbled across an interesting one of the Cloud Gate sculpture from the AT&T Plaza in Chicago. Here's the LINK to the wikipedia page and the panorama I found:
I like the overall color tone of the panorama and I thought the reflection on the sculpture was pretty cool. I mapped the texture on a simple 3D sphere in Maya. This allowed me to pan around the inside of the object and simulate a 3D environment. Pretty COOL! Here are some rendered stills from the project:
Till next time!
