Notes
- Tuesday!
- A plane that has telescopes built into it to get higher up into the atmosphere.
- A boat lift that can pick up the boat and drive around.
- Inverted wing plane.
- Variable wing plane, based on the wind.
- For students that want to have our software at home, try these links:
- Adobe – use our school account to login, and you should be brought to a dashboard (with blue buttons on the right hand side if I am correct) and you can download any of the Adobe software. Not free, but CAWD pays for it for you. You’re part of the “in” crowd now.
- Blender – totally free.
- Unreal Engine – totally free, until you start making money.
- Google Drive – totally free, work at home, it “save” and poof it shows up here. Same in reverse.
9:40 Attendance and Article
9:45 Blender
- Clipping controls
- Make view active camera view / ctrl + alt + numpad 0
- Archimesh – free, comes with Blender, just turned off by default. Let’s turn it on.
- Roughing out a room
- Windows / Doors
- Some extra video documentation, an older version of Blender, but still valid for the Archimesh tools.
- 1.75 meters for human height
- 2.4 – 2.9 meters for ceiling height, ranging from “normal” to vaulted ceilings. Closer to 2.4 is more traditional.
Whatever we don’t cover now, we will cover after break. No worries.
10:35 Morning Outside Break (10 minutes)
- 10 Minutes outside / just out our door.
- Throw the Frisbee, toss the football, kick the kickball, or just get some Vitamin D and not be at a desk.
10:45 Class Critiques
Lance will be giving constructive criticism today. He will be picking out one thing he likes, and one thing he would improve, for each project.
11:35 CAWD Project: Bedroom 1st Draft
Our CAWD Week 4 project will be the 1st draft of our Bedroom.
If I had to think about organization:
Week 4 (this week) – 1st Draft:
- Walls / Windows / Doors
- Main / Hard surface objects
- Cabinets
- Shelves
- Bed
- Desks
Week 5 – Final Draft
- Details / Lighting
- Soft Objects
- Teddy Bear
- Quilts / Sheets
- Curtains
- CTE / CAWD Open House is next Thursday (the 23rd) so a goal of getting it pretty far along by then to show off to our families.
Get to it! Save your file into your “week_04” folder in your Google drive so you can access it anywhere.
By the end of the week create 3 renders called “(lastName)Bedroom_1.jpg” through “(lastName)Bedroom_3.jpg” at 720p.
12:15 Lunch (30 Minutes)
- No food in the room / eat in the Cafe.
