10:00 Cawd Admin / Guidance Presentation

This morning we are going to have a presentation from Mrs. Dickinson and Ms. Charron. This is both a welcome presentation, but also a time to review the rules and expectations of Cawd / CTE. Remember the highlights that we went over in the Handbook:

  • No bullying / harassment. Tell an adult if you see something that is blatant, or even that doesn’t feel right.
  • Don’t try to go around the schools “Acceptable Use Internet Policy”. Don’t try the VPN’s, don’t install Steam, don’t download ROM’s, etc.
  • No drugs / weapons at school.
  • Social Media drama that impacts the school day can be dealt with at school.

10:35 Where you stand for Employability and Transferable Skills

  • It is very early in the week – but where do you think you fall in regards to the our Employability and Transferable Skill Rubric?
  • If you like where you are…keep at it. If you want to improve…do it. You are in complete control.
  • We will talk about, and grade you together on Monday morning’s.

3d classroom in Blender
  • Cables
  • Rendering – what is it?
  • Accessing the Camera
  • Locking the Camera so we don’t “fall out of it”.
  • Doing the work vs. presenting the work. Get credit for what you do!
  • Perspective vs. intended look and feel of a design. How you can control it.

11:30 Thursday / Friday Morning 3D Exercise: Bedroom ploor plan + ceiling

This morning we are going to start to work layout out the floor plan and boundaries which make up your bedroom. I want you to build:

  • A floor (can be plane)
  • A ceiling (should be cube based – the top of our room)
  • Walls created with different boxes, sized and rotated appropriately
  • Windows and doors cut out with Bridge as we did yesterday
  • Use of a HDRI image to illuminate the scene

For grading create 3 renders called “(lastname)Bedroom_1.jpg” through “(lastname)Bedroom_3.jpg” and upload to your “week_02” folder. These renders will be at 720p in size.

By break on Friday we all want to have in a roughed out bedroom structure. Next week we will begin the process of filling / texturing / adding in interior lights / etc.

Remember we are working around our class photos tomorrow – so please be efficient!
