Meshing Assignments
Meshing Assignment 01
DUE DATE: OCTOBER 08, 2007 - Please post your files to the Design ReForm Web site. Post them in the “Meshing Fall 2007″ section of the forum.
ASSIGNMENT: Create a parametric model of a small scale architectural Element (i.e. Furniture, Curtain wall Connection)
REQUIREMENTS: Please do not focus on the precision of the model but rather focus your attention to adding parameters to the design elements of the object that you chose to model. Simple examples can include the bend in an ant chair as well as the radius on the legs, the height or the chair. These are simple yet i feel these parameters will work well to understand the benefits and complexities of parametric modeling.
PRESENTATION: Each student is to post their model (max of maya) on the DesignReForm web site in the “Meshing Fall 2007″ section of the forum
Meshing Assignment 02
DUE DATE: OCTOBER 21, 2007 - Please post your files to the Design ReForm Web site. Post them in the Parametric model section of the forum. if you chose make make a model, please post photos.
ASSIGNMENT: A parametric design model. The scale can range from an architectural component to a building envelope. This can either be a
continuation of the first assignment or a new project. The Idea is that you create a model of a design element that would require changes during the design process and instead of re-modeling one would be able to use the benefits of parametric modeling to quickly iterate through design versions.
REQUIREMENTS: (1) Create a system that can produce at least 4 version of your design idea. (2) Models must contain a minimum of 2 referenced or instanced systems (not just simple propagation but referenced systems). (3) Model must contain a minimum of 2 systems with relationships to other geometry in the model, or driven with wire parameters.
PRESENTATION: Each student is to prepare a PDF presentation explain their respective systems. The presentation must contain a Text description, Images, and diagrams explaining the relationships within the system.
