WEEK 6 FRIDAY

Workshop Session 3: This workshop session will introduce you to surface rebuilding, advanced 3D modelling and basic 3D panelling using panelling tools. It is important that you bring your terrain with you to the session as the work you will be doing will become a part of your module 3.

WORKSHOP

Each workshop is accompanied with workshop note (see M3 appendix). It contains useful information on the software and lists the commands you will learn in the Workshop session. You will also find a folder on LMS called Workshops & Software which contains tutorials that must be completed before workshops and project sample files for use in the workshops.

CHECKLIST

WEEKLY TASKS 1. Apply the techniques learnt in workshop 03 to your terrain. If you followed along in the workshop you should have at least one variation complete. [1h] 2. Create 2 more variations, look at how you can manipulate the grid to create effect, pattern, direction and movement.

Use grid variation techniques learnt in Workshop 3. [3h] 3. Set up an isometric view for each of your 3 variations. Set to rendered mode (White Renders Only) and use -viewcapturetofile to take a high resolution screenshot of each variation. Make sure that background is set to transparent in the -viewcapturetofile settings. Insert the 3 images into your M3 journal. [1.5h] 4. Bring the following equipment to Week 7 Studio 1.

•

WEEKLY TASKS

CHECKLIST

1. Continue exploring model making from Studio 1 by hand crafting small fragments (6 panels) and attaching them together with tabs. It is important to understand how to construct geometry with hand before we move onto modelling custom geometry in Rhino in Workshop 4. Photograph your tests and insert into the M3 journal. [2h] Tip: Test quickly and repeatedly, don’t worry too much about how these look. The idea is to ‘sketch’ model ideas quickly.

2. Watch online tutorial before Workshop 4: Creating Labels & Tabs with Panelling Tools. This can be found on the LMS in the Module 3 folder. [1h] 3. Complete the reading for Week 8 and answer the questions in the M3 Journal.

WORKSHOP

WEEKLY TASKS

CHECKLIST

1. Explore custom 3D panelling on your terrain in conjunction with your variable grid. Again try to achieve patternation, movement and directionality. [1h] 2. Test out a variety of custom panels, remember that you need to have a range from no shorter than 10mm to no higher than 59.4mm. [3h] 3. Test a minimum of 3 examples and once again set up an isometric view in Rhino and take a -viewcapturetofile of each variation. Insert these into your M3 Journal.

4. Choose 1 variation to move onto the final fabrication stage. Unroll your 3D panels, remembering to allow space for tabs. Re-watch the lecture capture from Workshop 4 if you need a reminder on how to unroll your model.

5. Begin fabricating your panellised terrain. This should be a work in progress model aiming towards your final output. Only use the purchased ivory card. [3h] 6. Bring your work in progress model and rhino file to Week 8 Studio 1.

CHECKLIST

1. Complete your physical model with care. [7h] 2. Set up a photo-stage at home or book the fablab photo-stage in groups. [1h] 3. Take photos of your model. Photos should extend to the edges of the page as per the InDesign template. Refer to the examples on Page 10. [1.5h] You are required to present the following photographs:

· 1 x Plan View

· 1 x Oblique ‘Interior’ View 4. Use Photoshop to adjust your photography. It must be black and white. You may need to adjust the contrast and levels to accentuate the effects your are creating. Insert into the Photography template available on the LMS and print at 100% remember to trim off the outside so the image runs to the edge of the page. The photos will be A2 crop (420mm x 420mm).[.5 hours] 5. Complete M3 Journal and upload to TurnItIn. Upload your 2 Photos to your online portfolio along with your 150 word module reflection.

6. Bring photography prints and model to Week 9 Studio 1 for pin-up review.

RHINO 6 WORKSHOP 03 + 04

REBUILDING THE TERRAIN In M3 you are provided with a square of terrain from a larger map. In order to work with this we need to first rebuild the surface.

Use the dupedge command to duplicate the outer edges of the surface into curves. Then move the original surface to the side.

Use the sweep2 command to create a new surface from the curves. Using two parallel curves as rails and the other 2 perpendicular curves and cross sections. Now we have a surface ready to panel.

CREATING A BASIC PANELLING GRID The first step in creating a 3D panelled surface is to create a grid which defines the width and height of each cell.

Use the ptsurfacedomainnumber command to create a 10 x 10 grid on your surface.

Next use the ptoffsetpoints to create a second grid of points offset from your initial points.

Remember that the minimum offsef for M3 is 10mm and the maximum is 59.4mm.

BASIC 3D PANELLING Now that we have a grid we can start to create some basic 3D panels. The most simplest method is to use the ptpanel3d command. This allows you to create basic panels. We recommend avoiding squares/cubes as they are non-developable geometries without modification.

UNROLLING GEOMETRY Rhino is able to unroll geometry with flat faces onto the XY plane which can be used for printing or fabrication methods such as laser cutting.

To Unroll Panels use the ptunrollfaces command. Remember to change the settings to explode=no and group=yes.

To create tabs use the pttabs command. Remember to make your tabs long enough for your to work with.

3D GEOMETRIES ADVANCED Some useful commands for creating advanced geometries for your custom 3d panels. · dupedge · dupborder · controlpointson · offsetsrf · extrudecrv · extrudesrf · cap · patch · booleandifference · booleanunion · fillet · chamfer
