Lighting is an extremely valuable tool when it comes to creating a render or scene in any 3D modeling program. For one of my assignments I had to place two easily modeled dumbbells and on a simple planar. I was able to make an extremely realistic and advanced looking scene with simple models that took a few minutes to make, using just lighting and materials. First, I applied a texture to the plane and used a UV Map to alter it to fit the scene better. To compliment that, I added in a bump map which gave it more texture. After that I added the brushed metal preset physical material to my dumbbells and messed around with the parameters a bit to create a more realistic looking texture on them. Then I added a skylight and spot light to create the effect of a street lamp shining down on the dumbbells, and altered the color a bit so it looked more like augmented light. I turned on shadows so it appeared more realistic and more interactive with the ground/plane. Finally I added fog to create a more ominous effect and to top off the scene. As you can see, the image without lighting is tremendously worse and appears bland. Not only do the dumbbells feel distant from the ground, but the scene is basic and doesn't appear to be realistic at all. However, with the lights and environmental effects, the scene is surreal and the environment sets a tone/mood. Overall this goes to show that lighting and materials can go a long way and can turn simple models into a very advanced and realistic scene. Summary:

School has recently been closed down due to the Corona Virus, or COVID-19, and everything has changed completely. As great as it is to be able to sleep in and not have to listen through hours of school, life at home can be boring and school is still stressful on my mind. With all my teachers adapting to online teaching differently, it has been hard to keep track of my assignments and all of their different expectations. It is also hard to get myself to sit down and work on school work at home with so many distractions around. Knowing school may be shut down and all my uncompleted grades could be locked where they are, is stressful. I am thankful for DDA and the fact I can still work on everything from home and can bring my grade up. One of my favorite parts about DDA is how easy it is to access all my previous work, communicate with my teacher online, check my grades, receive announcements, and turn in assignments all in one spot. Schoology is the ultimate tool, and with schools shut down, I see a perfect opportunity for teachers to begin transferring to a more regular custom of online teaching, particularly with an app as convenient as Schoology. Powerschool is hard to access and very inconsistent/problematic with updates and maintenance. Schoology could be used to give students a way to view their past assignments which makes study material more available, and allows them to communicate and receive notifications from their teacher all in a way more organized space. Schoology combines both Remind and Powerschool into a more organized space with even more to offer. Google Classrooms is very similar though it is way less organized and can become very cluttered, making it harder to scroll through and find previous assignments. Overall with schools in their current state, teachers need to begin adapting and start using the best tools available. Summary:
