Item Creation of Chimera Through the Usage of an Inspirational System(2013-04-23) Parish, Brandi NicoleMy thesis involves studying the nature of chimera through history and how certain aspects of chimeras represent specific features of dualities in human nature. The research was reflected in a series of sketches, where one sketch was finalized into a fully realized 3D model. To aid in this goal, I created a system that will randomly generate chimera based on different characteristics. This system was created using Max 5, and was programmed to place images with alphas on top of each other to create unique chimeras. The variables within this system are derived from the research on chimeras depicted in art and mythology throughout history, and will be used as an inspirational tool to help generate unique combinations of chimeras that may not otherwise have been imagined.Item Tiled texture synthesis(Texas A&M University, 2004-09-30) Green, Lori AnneIn this thesis a new image-based texturing method has been developed. This new method allows users to synthesize tiled textures that can be mapped to any quadrilateral mesh without discontinuity or singularity. An interface has been developed that allows user control over out put textures. Three methods have been included in the interface to create a periodic looking texture for 3D models and two methods have been developed to create wallpaper images (repeating textures on a 2D surface). Using these texturing methods, texturing problems are simplified, and more time can be spent solving artistic problems.
