Week 10 Lab Task

Since I only got the tasks out for this weeks class a few days ago, I will add them to the tasks for today's lab.

  • Get your blogs up to date! Before the start of Assignment 3!

  • Write 150 words reflecting on the concepts you have developed in your writing for Assignments 1 and 2, as well as the modelling techniques you have discovered.

  • Concentrate on formulating concise language, being sure to use descriptive words that describe the themes and techniques that have been explored, and the relationships created between your modelling development and theoretical concepts.


After you have got your blogs completelyup to date, then you can move on with the tasks for today.

  • From your 150 word reflection (and concepts derived from Assignments 1 and 2), formulate a list of 10 words, that display either an emotive connection with your concepts, or an aspect of the "built" form that can be drawn from your ideas.

  • Post these 10 words to your blog.

  • Before you start on this project, you may want to think about what type of built environment you would like to create. It should have a strong founding in the themes and concepts you have created so far, during this course.

  • Model a visual aspect of three of these words, chosen at random, to a fair level of geometric complexity, with a relationship back to structure, or the built form. This will include texturing your objects. You will be making a video for each of these words, so it doesn't matter which you choose at this stage.

  • Create three 20 second clips in Max, based on the three words you chose to model an aspect of.

  • Do all of this in a single Max file.

  • If you are struggling with your concept ask me, or Daniel for help. If you are really struggling, you can start with the city model as an example, and build your ideas around the city. I believe most of you should be able to avoid this approach, but it may help in giving you a starting point.
