Final Requirements
Final Requirements
The final is a CD that contains the following:
1 A folder containing the completed House Project.
Read over the assignment to make sure you have completed all the requirements.Include the most up to date renderings.
2 A folder containing the completed Surface Project.Read over the assignment to make sure you have completed all the requirements.
3 A folder containing all exercises. Both the Maya files and screenshots and/or renderings of each exercise. You should have most of these exercises in the City Plan, giving them context, utility, and scale.
4 A folder containing all Master's student stuff/extra credit.
a. A Erwin Hauer screen modeled and rendered.
b. A rendered section of the house project.
c. Facade variations of the animated tower exercise.
d. Formative 3 students should have their final studio project modeled and rendered.
I will also except other completed studies and projects modeled in Maya in the last semester. And when I say completed I mean don't give me a bunch of crap.
The file is due in class on Saturday August 8th at 9:30 am.

Surface Project Re-UP-- Due 8/1/09
I posted this 2 weeks ago, but due to the amount of questions I'm getting, I assume the assignment got lost in the blog postings.
Please review the below assignment, and e-mail me with any further questions. It is due this Saturday, 8/1/09
Surface Project
Surface Project Due 08/01/09
For the next project you will design a surface using the various techniques we covered in class.
The Parameters:
Create 3 to 5 polygon objects with the identical number of faces. These should be reasonable simple objects, derived from an inspirational image.
Use the ‘blend shape’ tool to morph these objects into one another in various no less than 5 iterations, animate the blends and create animation snapshots of the blends.
With no less than 3 of these blended iterations create a formal gradient across two dimensions (x,y) - with no less than 25 individual shapes.
Attach these shapes by extruding the faces, deleting the end faces, and merging the individual vertexes to the next shape over and/or using the 'bridge' tool.
In this project you must use various deformers, such as the clusters, lattice, joints, with the use of the non-linear deformers (bend, wave, sign…)
This project should be thought as an architectural pavilion- it should have a circulation, and loose program.
Use a ground plan and 3D person to give scale to the project.
Deliverables:
1. The inspiration and intention of your project.
2. Process, At least 5 print screens of the process, with a brief explanation for each.
3. 5 perspectives of the pavilion. Each perspective should be shown as a 1 wire frame print screen, 1 shaded print screen, 1 render ( using Maya software rendering using the GI system or mental ray rendering using ambient occlusion, or Maxwell) and 1 vector rendering.
All in a PowerPoint (2003) or PDF presentation- with one image per page, full bleed.
4. The Maya file.

Blend Shape
For those of you who missed the class here's a good tutorial on the use of the blend shape deformer:
