Part 2

For thursday I need to see progression in digital modeling. I want each of you to take a stab at a style from a precedent. This means looking at a render and deducing out how they accomplished this look. We will have individual crits to discuss process and techniques so have something to discuss. You must decide quick on which views you choose to use and how you want to make these views sing. We looked at many different examples on tuesday and below is the source found by Strickland. I highly encourage any civic minded students to share any spectacular links that may be helpful to the class as a whole. Remember, there is a comment section on thes blog.

Tuesday

For the next class we will be meeting again on the 8th floor. Have all your stuff completed by the time class starts so that we can have a smooth class. To the left I posted a new list of links to set you in a direction for the next assignment. Remember though, that the library is still the best unrivaled resource for this kind of assignment.

Final

We only have four class periods left in the semester so for the remainder we have will be focused on finishing the models of your design and creating dynamic renders that express key features of your building. This next assignment will be delivered in parts starting with

Part I

Finish your model. Your model will be completed by the next class period: Tuesday, Nov. 11th. You will submit in your server folder by the beginning of class 6 views of your model. These views may fall into the following categories

  • interior perspective

  • exterior perspective

  • section perspective

  • birds-eye view

  • worms-eye view

  • section axonometric

  • panoramic

You should pick the views that best express your building and remember to be creative. You have many variables at your disposal such as lens angle and depth of field. We will discuss on Tuesday how to create dynamic views and which angles work best for your project. The render type will be hashed in the style best suited for the view [shaded, hidden line, etc] You will export these views at 72 dpi with one dimension at a max. of 1100 pixels. Name the files A_XXX_Ex5a.jpg. [A is a placeholder for 1-6].

Many of you do not have a great amount of experience in rendering or post-process entourage, therefore I will require each of you to adopt the style of a master. Each student will bring to class a rendering style either from a book or online, do your research. This style will be used as a guide to direct your final renders for your studio.
