INTRO TO 3-D COMPUTER MODELING
SUBJECT TO REVISION
FALL 2006
#ID 319011
Project ONE!!
2.5 weeks
To build a carport using basic tool sets in order to complete the 3-D construction. Creation and Editing commands, materials, drawing setups, and various 3-D views will be covered, while more advanced commands / 
techniques will be introduced and reinforced later in the semester. A set of
basic working drawings is supplied in order to help the student construct the carport. The purpose of this project is to introduce the student into the sometimes complex world of 3-D while working on a 2-D environment. Chapters 1, (5,6 introduction only)

Project TWO!!
13.5 weeks!!
Project two will be a 3-D interior / flythrough, the project will be created in various phases, with each one focusing on a specific process / technique.
Thumbnails will be created in order to help the student visualize there designs and what shapes are needed to be built.
 
Phase 1. To construct and import a Auto-CAD floor plan into Sketch up and use as a building template. Design will be created by instr. but drawn by student.  .5 weeks

Phase 2. To build walls, floors, and work with basic commands, groups / components.
Phase 3. To create custom interior elements ranging from wainscoting to coffered ceilings.
Phase 4. To create CUSTOM furniture / interior accents (vases, art work…)  while using the creation / editing commands on a more advanced level, thumbnails will be highly advised in order to create the objects!!!!! 
(Chapters 1,3) 6 weeks

Phase 5.   Materials: application and creation of a variety of materials will be explored and used in this project, ranging from default to scanning to photoshop to 3-D textures to the internet. 
 (Chapter 7) 3 weeks

Phase 6. Flythrough:  To build a flythrough of the interior space!!!! 
(Chapter 9) 4 weeks

FINAL: To burn a CD and present to class on the overhead projector!!!!!!

Final will consist of CD and thumbnail sketch book handed to the instr…….
