Tuesday, September 14th

Class Hours: 9:40 – 2:05
Mr. Cronin

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.
