Description

Bartlett Ravine TIN
Bartlett Ravine TIN


This course is intended to provide an in-depth/immersion experience in 3D modeling in design.  While it will cover concepts of 3D modeling in roughly increasing order of complexity, it is intended to be structured more as “just-in-time delivery of things you need to know to do your design project”, that is, the class will be structured for students to work through 3D modeling from an applied perspective supported by theory and principles.  Students will be presented with challenges to resolve as part of the class structure.

 

OBJECTIVES

  1. Gain experience and confidence in 3D modeling of design works.
  2. Understand principles of 3D modeling independent of a particular software product.
  3. Understand advantages/tradeoffs between manual and digital approaches.
  4. Recognize conceptual vs. interface barriers to digital modeling.
  5. Explore modeling utility at various stages of design conceptualization and development.
