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.

Has anyone found a longitudinal Section for the house?

Umbrella House Elevations!

If anyone has the elevations for the Umbrella House by Paul Rudolph and would be so kind as to post them on here that would be great. Thanks

Jacobs II "Solar Hemicycle" Question

I was wondering if we have to add the texture of the floor as well? (and landscape?)
-Also are we getting feed-back on previous assignments before the the mid-term

thank you

Layout Template for Midterm / Final

below are the sample pages for both the drawing and rendered formats (with and without the descriptions margins).  Whether or not it is necessary for an assignment to have a description depends on the criteria for said assignment posted on the blog.

below is a page sample with the description layout.

RHINO / PHOTOSHOP RECAP!!

PREVIOUSLY REVIEWED LESSONS:
JULY 13 (SATURDAY):
RHINO SPECIFICS:
Rhino - Basics:
UNITS (be certain that it is in Inches)
LAYERS (Each Material shall have it's own Layer; ie. Win_Glass_Type1, Glass_Type_2, Win_Mullion, Door_Wood, Door_Frame, etc.  The Layers change as the material changes)
PROPERTIES
POLYLINE
JOIN (to join separate Polylines)
GROUP / UNGROUP
EXTRUDE (either as a solid mass or as wall-type extrusions with Offsets; with Cap)
OFFSET
MOVE
COPY
LOFT (after creating a series of planes or ribs)
SCALE (scale object proportionally)
SCALE1D (scale in one direction)
SCALE2D
ZOOM - EXTENTS (Z - E)
ZOOM - SELECTED (Z - S)
CAD to Rhino (save CAD as a 2004 or previous version; open CAD file with Rhino 4.0)
Changing Viewports, utilizing the one that is most relevant to building the model.

Photoshop - Basics:
Open - New - 200 dpi Resolution; 11" x 17" Sheet
PNG Images - Have no background
Smart Objects - Cannot edit unless you Rasterize the image
V - Arrow tool
L - Lasso tool (change Lasso tool to polygonal lasso)
Z - Zoom tool
Layers - The order of Layers is how they are seen; like a collage
Layers Folders - Organize your layers! ie. People folder, trees folder, background folder, etc.
Adjust brightness / darkness in Image Tab
Duplicate images - save the original
Line Tool - to draw

Photoshop - Tips:
Insert images - make sure they are of good quality images
Images inserted - unless they are smart objects, shrinking the image to later make it larger will damage its resolution
Shadows - duplicate the object / change the lightness to black - change the opacity to 50%
Glass - create a colored layer and change its opacity to roughly 15-25%

UPCOMING LESSONS:
JULY 20 (SATURDAY):

Rhino - Modeling:
BOOLEAN - Union - Difference - Split - Intersection
BOOLEANDifference (for openings; ie. windows, doors, open space, wall fenestration, etc.)
ROTATE (2-dimensional plane)
ROTATE3D (3-dimensional plane)
EXPLODE (Polylines to individual lines; Solids to multiple Surfaces)
INSERT - (select a Rhino file to Insert as a block; use this for objects / items that shall repeat: ie. doors, windows, etc.)
Save a Viewport -- Right click Viewport - Set Views - Named Views - Save it and name it what you will


VRay for Rhino Specifics:
Options - Output (change to the quality that best suites your final print size;  it is better to render at a larger quality, when in doubt)
Materials - Adding a Bitmap Texture
Materials - Transparency (whiter = more transparent; blacker = more opaque)
Materials - right click - apply to layer
Materials - have a File set up for all of your Materials)

Rhino - Modeling:
REVOLVE
PIPE (for circular railings, ect)
PROJECT TO CPLANE, PROJECT
SOLID--FILLET--CHAMFER (, FILLET, BLEND)--ADD HANDLE(edit handles)
Viewport Properties--Capture--To File (for Printscreens)
Change Viewport Background

Output -- No Background -- Save as PNG
Material in Vray -- Bump Maps (the same as regular mapping, but in B&W--White = closer.  Black = further)

Photoshop - Tips:
Smartobject as XREFS


JULY 27 (SATURDAY):
Rhino - Modeling:
SHEAR (for a Surface.  use Control Points) 
SWEEP1, SWEEP2
MAKE2D
PLANARSrf
REBUILD
Viewport Camera Settings (50mm, 35mm, 20mm, etc)
EXTRUDE SURFACE
EXTRUDE Along Curve
Control Point Editing - INSERTKnots - INSERTControlPoints
Transparency Mapping - Material PNG (Color) - Material Alpha PNG (Transparency) -- This is useful for Mesh-Type Materials where you would like to see beyond said mesh.
Materials - Import / Export / Package Materials
SUNLIGHT
SUNLIGHT (Part 2)
Interior Lights
Emissive Materials

Assignment No. 2 Plans + Elevation Samples (with Layers)

Please comment if you have any questions

* Note: for Scale: 1/8" = 1'-0", I am using a text size of 12".  Please do this as well.

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

- Rebecca  ( rhend005@fiu.edu )

Malin "Chemosphere" Residence

If someone has the plans sections and elevations please send them to me: pcuad004@fiu.edu
I've looked everywhere.

Thanks,
Priscilla

frank lloyd wright and the solar hemicycle (jacobs ii)

I can't seem to find elevations with scale for this building.
