IMD I 2D - 3D conversion practice

Good Morning!

Start lab by transferring your 3D navigation notes to your composition book. (pages 1-2)

We'll continue with our 2D-3D conversion practice in lab.

NOTE: Castle projects are due tomorrow! Make sure you've posted your 4 camera pics and answers to the questions to your blog. You'll be receiving a grade for your blog (50 points) and the castle project (100 points).

Your Robot Model Assignment will follow in the next post!

IMD II - Chess Evaluation

Today we will look at evaluating you chess models.

IMD II - Wraping up the Chess Set

You will need to complete the knight over the next two days.

If your knight is complete you need to work on the texture and composition of the background in your scene. You will need to discuss composition and elements of design when this your project is submitted.

IMD I - Slice em up!

Create the drawing above using simple shapes, the slice option on the modify menu is key!

You need to know how to do the following, make sure you have the answers to the following questions in your notes:

1. How do you draw a closed line?

2. How do you extrude a closed line?

3. how do you draw a corner point?

4. How do you draw a curved point?

5. How do you convert a point type?

6. What is a vertex?

7. How do you move a vertex?

8. How do you fillet a vertex?

9. How do you outline a line?

IMD II - Lets talk about contrast.

Contrast is one the principles of design. Contrast occurs when two elements are different. The greater the difference the greater the contrast. The key to working with contrast is to make sure the differences are obvious. Four common methods of creating contrast are by using differences in size, value, color, and type.

We will be talking about the element of color and how it can be used to add contrast. I'll want you to place an emphasis on this value when designing texture for your chess set.

Look at the following images and discuss the role of color and contrast.
