9:45 Graph of the Week

Head over to Google Classroom to figure out what is going on in this graph. Surely you must have some personal connection to this. Let’s hear about it.

As I say each week, identify what is going on in this graph and explain it to someone who cannot see it.


9:55 Review Friday and Monday dayplans

10:00 Modeling Challenge – Blender – Haunted House

Everything you want to know about this roof style – plus a bunch of spooky design shape/inspirations

There is just something about the Mansard Roof that equates to spooky, creepy and scary. Let’s tackle a little modeling challenge this morning. Keep your shapes simple but given that this is a haunted house, you may consider some exaggeration with your work. You may use this house as inspiration, or you may choose your own style. Low Poly is ok. Let this challenge meet you where your design skills are.

  • Keep your exterior dark (in terms of materials)
  • Use Light or emissive materials for windows
  • Set the scene as night time with low light and long shadows

When complete, render 3 views
