SAMPLE IMAGES - Quiz No. 3

Sample Images:

Group: Sample Image

Architecture for Dogs

Atelier Bow-Wow
Materials: light brown wood (structure + platforms + ramps)

Quiz No. 3

Quiz No. 3 :

Date: 7-27-2013

Time Limit: 1 hour to be received in email.  Any late submittals will result in a grade reduction (the later it is, the greater the reduction).

Instructions

1: File - Save as - [Last Name][First Name]_ARC4058_Quiz_3_[image type, ie. Superstudio Objects, Musee d'Orsay Front Perspective, etc.]  Be certain the JPEG file is saved with this format!

2: Photoshop: New File - 11" x 17" - Resolution at 200 pixels/inch - Color Mode at RGB Color - Margins as per the Layout Sample

3: Groups: TBD.   Be certain to work on the Quiz version that is assigned to you!  Working on the incorrect version will result in a lower grade.  The groups will be announce on the day of the exam.

4: Assignment: Create + Render a Rhino model based on the image(s) posted for Quiz 3

• Build the image assigned to you in Rhino with the appropriate layers. Create 3 rendered views (front elevation, side elevation, perspective) of said image(s). Save them as PNG's so that the background does not show when brought into Photoshop (assuming you have it set as such in Vray for Rhino).  
• Rhino Output: try to have all the viewport renders similar, if not equal, in size / scale (especially the side / front views).  To give you an idea of the resolution you should have, an 11" x 17" Sheet in Photoshop (at 200 dpi) has a resolution of 3400 pixels x 2200 pixels.  Use this as a base to guarantee great image quality.  
• Materials for your model: 
• wood_1: dark brown wood with natural grain
• wood_2: light brown wood (think plywood)
• glass_1: blue-grey glass with 30% opacity (70% transparent)
• glass_2: green-grey glass with 30% opacity (70% transparent)
• aluminum_1: light grey aluminum
• aluminum_2: dark grey aluminum
• plastic_1: light blue plastic
• plastic_2: light red-orange plastic
• concrete
• The images may further be tweaked in Photoshop. 
• The 3 views should be spaced evenly within the Photoshop file. 
• Each view shall have a dog / dogs interacting with the rendered object.  They shall be scaled appropriately, shadows placed where necessary, and be relevant to the viewport rendered.
• Grading will be based on both completeness + quality.

5: Save to JPEG - Quality = 8 (if you do not know what this means, try creating a jpeg from Photoshop.  You will be prompted to select the output quality.  Bring it down to 8)

6: Submittal: JPEG file shall be submitted to ecalil@fiu.edu before the hour's end

* Note: if you cannot make it to the day of a Quiz, you may make it up the week after.  A more difficult drawing will replace the one of the original date and the same time limit will be given during class time.  If you know that you cannot make it to class on any particular day, please comment below with the date(s) you will be absent and I will do my best to not have a Quiz on that particular date.  Once the date of the Quiz is posted online, it will not change.

My Recommendations:

• use the Quiz No 3 Sample Image as a reference for what you may be doing on the Quiz
• have a Rhino + Photoshop file ready for it with the layouts ready to start
• have a materials library with the listed varied set of materials ready for use, seeing as how you will not know what materials you will be using on the Quiz
• have your Layers in Rhino to already have the desired materials set to them, as that step will save you some time
• do NOT wait until the Quiz to do these things as it is not the time to figure these things out or worry about setting these things up.  They should be ready at your disposal beforehand so that your main preoccupation is building the model
• Read the instructions on the Quiz beforehand as well so that you know exactly what you need to do!
• I also recommend practicing with the posted Sample Image or with your Assignment 4 + 6 model interiors / fixtures to better prepare for the Quiz

Good Luck!

Assignment No. 4 + 5

Assignment No. 4 + 5 :

1: File - Save as - [Last Name][First Name]_ARC4058_Assignment_4+5_[image type, ie. Superstudio Objects, Musee d'Orsay Front Perspective, etc.]

2: Photoshop: New File - 11" x 17" - Resolution at 200 pixels/inch - Color Mode at RGB Color - Margins as per the Layout Sample

3: Assignment: Design the building you have selected in Rhino and render them with V-Ray for Rhino.  Then save as a .PNG with no background.  Your requirements are:

• 1 - 300 word introduction to the building, concepts behind the design + relevance of your design.  Do NOT write from first person perspective (ie. "I believe that this is.... I decided on this view because...." etc.).  
• 1 - Exterior Rendering (with it's real-world setting surrounding it). 
• 1 - Interior Rendering (with sun lighting from the exterior)
• 3 - Diagrams Analyzing your building (choose diagrams most relevant to your building's concept.  ie. Sun path, circulation, etc.).  These may be in plan / section / other forms of representation.  Each diagram must have a brief description below (1-4 sentences) and/or a Legend for symbols on the page, yet should NOT need them to be understood.  

• *BONUS 1*  (2 points) : Create an additional Interior Rendering & Exterior Rendering.
• *BONUS 2*  (2 points) : Modify an Interior Rendering + Exterior Rendering to portray one of the following two settings: Dystopian setting or Utopian setting.  There shall be a brief explanation (2-3 sentences) for said settings

Notes:

• each rendering should have 5 people minimum with the proper shadows / lighting.
• proper materials should be rendered as relevant.
• be certain the lighting is done properly in the interior + exterior renders, as lighting is important in each of these projects.  Study sun paths + building orientation for this.
• 1 - 11" x 17" (landscape) page per rendering.  Each Diagram could either be on 1 page, all 3 on 1, or 2 per page if Bonuses were done, etc. depending on your diagrams' scale and type. 
• IMPORTANT!!: YOU MUST work on the building that was initially assigned to you UNLESS you have traded with someone else and I have been informed of said trade by both parties.  A 30% reduction in the grade will be placed per assignment that is done incorrectly.  Assignments 3 + 4 + 5 shall all be of the same building.  If you did the wrong building for Assignment No. 2, do not make the same mistake for No. 4 + 5 + 6 as you will lose credit for each of those!  Ask me if you are not certain as to which building is yours.  

4: Post JPEG on Blog (top-right corner : New Post - Insert JPEG - Publish Post!) ONLY if you have any questions pertaining to the assignment.  You do NOT need to post on the blog for this assignment.

5: Turn in the Assignments with the Class Portfolio.

CAD plans CAD elevations (so that you may see my layers)

PDF plan (1 of 4) 

* Note: I have added the North arrow in the plan.  If you do not have it for this assignment, please do so for the Midterm / Final

CAD elevations (so that you may see my layers)

PDF elevations (front elevation repeated x 4 with dimensions for elevations.  Your versions do NOT have to be exact, but this should be helpful if you need it; You may also fit multiple elevations per sheet if they fit as I did here or have one per sheet.  Either method is correct so long as you label each elevation)

Umbrella House

anyone with plans, elevations and sections of the umbrella house it would be greatly appreciated!

If theres a link you can post the link where I could find the photos too
