Antonia Sketch 7/12/98
Designer's Note:
It occured to me that an easy way to create a spooky effect in the Antonia scene and completely change the look of the set would be to drape it with sheer black fabric. Since I was not sure how to approach modelling sheer fabric in three dimensions, I used Adobe PhotoShop LE to hand "paint" a concept sketch. In the final computer rendering of this scene you can view my attempt at creating a three-dimensional model of the fabric (it 's a start, but probably not a very accurate simulation of the way real fabric would hang)....
