Notes

THIS Thursday 10/6 CTE has their Program Open House from 6pm-7:30pm. Make sure you get off work, and tell your family and friends early. It is a drop in session, come in, show off your work, meet the teachers.
No school Friday or Monday – 4 day weekend!
Andrew – you have to go down and see Teresa Sorrell in the Main Office at our 10:25 break. (The lady that gave you the paperwork.)
Art bag building … now. I have $ in gently used pencils, erasures, blending stumps, and sharpeners. Take them! I even have gallon bags to put them. Please, everyone build a quick bag for yourself and take home!

9:40 Attendance and Article

Low Depth of field / Wide (or great or large) Depth of Field

What is it?
Why would we use it?
How do we control it in Blender?
- Using the object (pretty good)
- Using distance (ehhhh)
- Using an empty for full control (yeah buddy!)

FOV adjustments review
Near clipping review

10:35 Morning Break (10 minutes)

10 Minutes break – you have to exit the room.
When the door near the TV is open, you are welcome to come back in.

10:45 Critiques

Today St. Pierre will be giving Constructive Criticism. Pick 1 thing that works, and 1 thing to improve upon next time. Remember we are separating the Design from the Designer. We are looking for actionable input.

11:35 CAWD Project: Bedroom

We have 3 days (Tuesday / Wednesday / Thursday) to finish our Bedroom projects to show off our families and friends on Thursday night at our CAWD Open House.

Here are going to be the final deliverables:

“(lastName)Bedroom_1.jpg”
“(lastName)Bedroom_2.jpg”
“(lastName)BedroomDOF_3.jpg”

** Please note the 3rd render has the “DOF” added to it, and in this final render we want you to feature an asset in your scene through a low depth of field render. Just like we practiced this morning, put something you are proud of in your scene (that you modeled well) as the focus of the render and then blur the foreground/background using the skills we learned this morning.

Sell your work, make it feel as real as you can, if you don’t show off your work in your renders how will we know you created it? Great renders can turn a “meh” project into pretty good. Poor renders can do the opposite.

To get everything in the first two renders remember that you can:

Take off the ceiling/walls and look in as if a diorama.
Use near clipping adjustments to simply not render the wall closest to the camera.
Position your camera in your world so that you can see it all – start here.
Adjust the field of view – be careful as things will get wonky.

12:15 Lunch (30 Minutes)

No food in the room / eat in the Cafe.
You are welcome to return to the room when you have finished eating and work / hang out.
