Tutorial on Modelling

3DS Max is widely used in spine and patch modeling, character animations, inverse kinematics, rendering, lighting, mesh and many more. Proper texture mapping and appropriate materials should be used to render a realistic effect. 3DS Max is a very powerful material editor that gives your creativity the required edge. With the help of this software package, you can give your reel characters a real touch. Nowadays, many 3DS Max tutorials are available. You can take help of these tutorials to create your 3D rich designs and visualization effects.

Sometimes, the imaginary world is much better than the physical world. The most important part of the 3DS Max is modeling. Only a perfect modeling can derive satisfactory outputs. Tutorials can help you to learn more about the 3D film effects, complex design virtualizations, rich and realistic game characters. The 3DS Max is mainly used by the visual effects artists, design visualization specialists and the game developers. It has a tools-package that assists you to easily create a variety of shapes like cylinder, sphere or box and even helps in sketching the character outline.

Once you master these 3DS Max modeling techniques, it is quite easy to create simple to complex characters or animations. Animation can sound challenging to learn but once you start using the tutorials, you’ll get a quick and good grasp on it. Using this software and its advanced designing tools, you can create very realistic images and computer generated models. The materials used are very important for creating realistic models. For example, while modeling an animal or a person, proper scale is required from multiple angles and this can only be achieved with the help of 3DS Max.

Once you are through with the tutorials, you would be able to develop a model. By altering the shapes and adding some additional features, provide some realism to the selected models. After the realistic model is developed, it needs to be textured to get a good effect. There are more than hundreds of textures available in the 3D models from skins to metals to fabrics. And finally we get down to the lighting effect; this too is very important for the models and should be placed in a natural position to witness the proper effects. Multiple lights could also be used to enhance and stimulate the objects surrounding the model. Thus, with proper approaches, you can achieve beautiful 3DS Max models.

LE MODULOR

Modulor is a anthropometric scale proportions designed by Swiss-born architect Le Corbusier in France (1887-1965). It was developed as a bridge between two incompatible visual scale, the Imperial and metric systems. It is based on the height of an English man with his hand raised. It has been used as a system to express a number of Le Corbusier buildings and then encoded into the two books.

Le Corbusier's developed the Modulor in a long tradition of Vitruvius, Leonardo da Vinci's Vitruvian Man, the work of Leone Battista Alberti, and others try to discover the mathematical proportion in the human body and then to use that knowledge to improve both the appearance and function-art building. This system is based on a human scale, double unit, number of Fibonacci and golden ratio. Le Corbusier described it as "range of harmonious measurements to suit the human scale, universally applicable to architecture and to mechanical things." With the Modulor, Le Corbusier tried to introduce a visual scale measures that will unify the two systems is incompatible systems: Anglo-Saxon foot and inches and metric system of French. Despite his interest in ancient civilization used to measure system associated with the human body: elbow (cubits), fingers (digits), thumb (inches) and others, he was troubled by the metre as a measure that was a forty-millionth part of the meridian of the earth.

Modulor graphic representation the number of people treated with one of the branches were raised, standing next to two sizes uprise, one red siri central figures based on height (1.08m in the original version, 1.13m in the revised version) and then segmented according to Phi, and a blue series figures based on overall height, double the height of the navel (2.16m in the original version, 2.26m in the revised), segmented same. A spiral, the graphically was  developed between red and blue segments, as if to mimic the volume of the human figure.

Lesson 3 & 4 Mind Mapping

Mind mapping, introduced by Tony Buzan. A creative Mind Map is able to stimulate and create interest to the individual and also to the viewer.

Method Creative Thinking: Logical and Associated mind map Technique
-Logical Mind Map
 directly connected to stereotypes.
-Associated Mind Map
 able to generate random words and also how the links between words.
-Logical Mind Maps & Stereotypes
 have to understand what a stereotype is.

Definitions of Stereotype

1. A conventional, formulaic, and oversimplified conception, opinion, or image.
2. One that is regarded as embodying or conforming to a set image or type.
3. Printing. A metal printing plate cast from a matrix molded from a raised printing surface, such as type.

Example: Logical Mind Map

Rules of Logical Mind Mapping

• Always have your SUBJECT in the center of the page.
• Make the subject more dominant.
• Decide on the main categories.
• Try to have different categories.
• Try to use drawing or images to more interesting.
• Idea should be shaped like the roots of a tree.
• It is OK to repeat words or even interlink certain words.

Benefit of Logical Mind Mapping Technique

• It is concise way of listening and categorizing a mass of information.
• The word will help trigger memories and reduce the amount of note taking.
• More interesting.

FORM FOLLOWS FUNCTION & FUNCTIONS FOLLOWS FORM

Form follows function principle that states that the form or the shape that taking should be selected based on function and purpose intended. It is often used in architecture, engineering and industrial design. Statement of function following form is used for graphic design and desktop publishing too. As a designer, design elements that make up the design and page. The objective function of design whether it is a sign for directions or a book that entertains with stories. To practice the rule of function following form, start the design process with the prior information as possible about the purpose of creating your piece.

                                     

Function follows form where the function is not clear unless the building is to tell you what it is. A door on the stage, not so much functional connection between the two spaces, but thenarrative device. This also works for more complex structures such as cities.Organizational logic design of E. Kettelhut 's, Metropolis film immediately understood as an image of class distinctions. This principle, narrative inscription in space structures, such as Norman M. Klein calls "scenario space", space architecture is experienced as a movie script space. Readability of this work in two main ways: building a second life tells us both about how they expect their creator to be used, and how their owners want to be seen by others.

Human Factors in Exhibition Design

The human is the design factor that will relate the composition of the exhibition design. The age, sex and physically profile is one of the influence on exhibition design. There are children, teenager, adult and old people with either male or female. Besides, the eye-sight of the human being which have the low, medium and the high visual of the eye-sight. Moreover, the hearing of human being also is one of the factor. On the other hand, the mobility and the language are the factor of exhibition design which the human able to walk or with wheelchair and the language usage.
