Idea of the exam • In this file you will find different items • All have a FACTOR from 3 to 15 • Your task is to select one of the items that you would like to model, and then make a 3D version of that object • Your score for the object you make will be your points times the factor • So, if you take a factor 9 object and make it well, you a grade of 4, and your score is 36
What will I be watching for? • I will be watching for solid basic knowledge and an eagerness to try things • Pick the object you think you can finish • Try to get the essence of the object out (the ’toasterness’ of the toaster etc.) since you cannot have three-view images of the objects • Remember: structure, edits, material, render • User RENDERTABLE to produce the JPG file
Remember that… • Sometimes you need to start from a primitive, sometimes an extruded spline offers the best possibilities • Compound objects work for many objects • Remember lofting for splines that need shape • Also remember the lathe for round objects…etc etc etc.
How to submit your work? • I need to see both the .MAX file and a rendered .JPG • Use RENDERTABLE to do the final .JPG • Pack your two files in a ZIP and mail it to me • I will then check them and grade you • If you can send the files today, fine! • If not, you have ONE WEEK until Mar 20.
