Interactive means are interrelated. This means that between the user users and media
programs there is a reciprocal relationship, the user provides a response to the demand media display
program, then proceed with the presentation of information next concept presented by the media
programs are [3].
Entrance exam is a test to determine whether or not a person acceptable candidates wishing to enter
the school, offices, companies and so on [4]. In the 3-dimensional design space we will
know the three axis coordinates of the axis x, axis y, and z-axis [5].
2.2 3D Modeling In 3D computer graphics, 3D modeling is the process
of developing a mathematical representation of each of the three-dimensional object either inanimate or
living via specialized software. This product is referred to as 3D models. See objects in three
dimensions 3D means seeing the object in true form. 3D depiction would be helpful to clarify the
intent of actually visualized. 3D depiction is a further development
of 2D
drawing.
Figure 2.1 Comparison of 2D and 3D object
appearance 3D modeling process requires the design of which is
shared by several stages to its formation. As the object what you want to set up a basic object, method
of 3D object modeling, lighting and animation object motion in the order process to be performed.
Figure 2.2 3D Modeling Process
The purpose and function of each part is a process that
will be
explained as
follows:
a. Motion Capture Model 2D , which is the first
step to determine the shape of the object model to be built in 3D. In this stage of the process of determining
the 2D object has a sense that the 2D object that will be formed is the basis for 3D modeling.
b. Basic 3D Modelling Method
, There are several methods used for 3D modeling. There are types of
object modeling method tailored to his needs like with NURBS and polygons. Modeling polygon is a
triangle and square shapes that determine the surface area of a character. Each polygon determines a flat
field by putting a line of polygons so that we can create the surface forms. To obtain a smooth surface,
it takes a lot of polygons. When only using a few polygons, the object will be divided into several
fractions obtained polygon. While modeling with NURBS Non-Uniform Rational Bezier Spline is the
most popular method to construct an organic model. On the NURBS curve can be formed with only three
points only. Compared with polygon curve which requires a lot of points vertices, this method makes
it easier to control. One point of CV control vertices to control one area to the texture.
c. Process Rendering
, Rendering is the final process of the whole process modeling or computer
animation. In rendering, all the data already entered in the process of modeling, animation, texturing,
lighting with certain parameters will be translated in a form of output. Rendering part that is often used:
Field Rendering, Field rendering is often used to reduce the strobing effect caused by rapid movement
of an object in the video rendering.
• Shader, Shader is an addition that is used in 3D specific software in the process of rendering special.
Usually shaders needed to meet the specific needs of
4
special effects such as lighting effects, atmosphere, fog and so forth.
d. Texturing
, this texturing process to determine the characteristic of a material object in terms of texture.
Texture can then be used to create many variations of color pattern, the level of smoothness roughness of
an object layer in more detail. e. Image and Display
, is the end result of the entire process of modeling. Usually the object model which
will be output is an image for correction needs coloring, lighting, or a visual effect which is inserted
at the stage teksturing modeling [6]. 2.3 Definition of Virtual Reality
According Wexelblat 1993, virtual reality is a display and control technologies that can cover a person in a
virtual environment generated interactively by computer [7]. Meanwhile, according Jounghyoun
Kim 2005, virtual reality is a field of study that aims to create a system that provides artificial experience
to users. There is no standard definition of virtual reality. The most common definition of virtual reality
is the artificial environment created with computer hardware and computer software and presented to the
user so the user is to feel like in a real environment. 2.4 Software Application Development
2.4.1 Macromedia Flash 8 Macromedia Flash 8 is a vector-based animation
programs are very popular and most widely used today to create animated and professional web
applications dynamic and interactive. Also flash can also be used to create animated logos, cartoons,
games, interactive menus, e-cards, screen savers, a form of interactive, multimedia applications, to
mobile applications [8]. 2.4.2 3ds Max
For the current 3ds Max 3D software is one of the most popular and best selling in the market. This is
understandable because 3ds Max has advantages over other 3D software. One of the advantages that exist in
the completeness of its features. This software supports almost all existing aspects of 3D graphics
technology at this time [9]. 2.4.3 Adobe Director
Adobe Director is a software made by Adobe which is used for the production of interactive CDs,
presentations, product catalogs, games and others. Director is able to import many formats such as
movie, bitmap, vector, 3-dimensional and audio. Adobe Program Director to make an animation or
interactive multimedia because it has the facility to make arrangements per-frame animation. So also
with three-dimensional animation that can be created with this software [10].
2.4.4 Adobe Photoshop CS 2 Photosop CS 2 is part of Adobe creative tools, a
package design program for people who work, either by printing a picture or graphic network [11].
Macromedia Dreamweaver 2.4.5 Macromedia Dreamweaver is all web design software
that offers a way to design a website with two steps at once in a while, which is designing and
programming. Dreamweaver has a mini window called the HTML source, where HTML codes written
[2]. 2.4.6 ArchiCAD
ArchiCAD is one berbantu computer drawing program CAD Computer Aided Design are quite
popular. ArchiCAD is designed specifically for architects to design the building appropriately.
ArchiCAD offers a different approach than the existing CAD programs. Depictions in ArchiCAD
dilakkukan is oriented to the building is not in the picture [12].
