Computer Application _ Work In Progress

Introduction
Computer Application introduce the Computer Generated 3-Dimensional drawings.

Project 1: Modelling of an Architectural Design
This involves completion of basic form and external model of a selected architectural design. During this stage the completed 3D model will reflect the knowledge of the using of the software to create 3D geometries. 3D models will be assessed on the overall derail, complexity and creativity used in the creation and development process.

Project 2: Still Rendering with Materials, Lights, Camera view with Site Context
This involves the production of photorealistic still rendering of the selected architecture design with materials, appropriate camera views and post-production enhancement on the visual outcome. The visualization work would be assessed on the types and ways materials are used, types of lights and effects used to set up the scene, setup of appropriate camera views for rendering and skills of using post-production tools to enhance the visual outcome.

Project 3: Animation of the Completed 3D Scene
Production of a maximum 90 seconds animation of the completed 3D scene using 3DS Max's animation commands and tools. It also involves simple video editing work such as stitching video clips, background music & special effects editing, through the use of Windows Movie Maker, iMovie, Adobe Premiere and After Affects.

Learning Outcome
On successful completion of this project, students will be able to demonstrate the following:

• To record Work in Progress (WIP) as progressive evidence of the working process.
• To produce 3D model of a selected architectural design using 3DS Max/ Rhinoceros or both.
• To produce photo-realistic still renderings of the selected building with materials, lighting, camera views and site context.
• To produce photo-realistic animation renders.

Reflection

It's an interesting course and useful for me as I have learnt to use the software like Auto CAD, Rhinoceros and 3Ds Max to create a 3D architectural model.

I learnt the useful tools and function to create a building and this is really helpful for me in other module like Design Studio 3.
