Assignment 6

Re-render the house (same perspective as last week) but this time apply color and materials. Justify your decisions according to last week's discussion about colors.

Design your breakfast scene, apply materials and render with VRay using 600x1000 frame size. Don't change the default lighting and/or camera setting (this will wait for next week!). Justify your rendering using our readings (2D composition, color, etc).

Assignment 4

Print your two solids using the Formlab machine, bring the prints to class next week.
Switch your design files of the house (.3dm) with your pair, and briefly share your styling intentions. For next week, style the work of your friend based on her/his instructions. Share initial sketches / ideas between you during the week. Render the final results with VRay, using default setting (including a ground plate). Upload only 2 views to the website.
You have $50 budget for Shapeways Nylon12 order. Based on this link, design a moving-parts object with 3 directions of motion, using one of the techniques that we discussed in class. If you choose to design a flexible manifold or a string, please include more than one “atom” design, and include at least 20 atoms. Use your account only for evaluating cost and file quality only (don't order yourself). Share your STL file with me by Friday.

Part 1

This is a painting titled "1814. Campagne de France" by Ernest Meissonier. Painting was completed in 1864.

It is clear that the artist is using diagonal armature. Napoleon in the front and his entourage is forming a diagonal line across the picture. Also, the road underneath is forming a diagonal across the image. The diagonal line is broken by the line of soldiers in the back. This is used, as reading suggests, to prevent the diagonal from gaining momentum.
The image also has other armature element of radiating lines. The lines radiates from the back towards the viewer, and finish with the Napoleon at the head of the column. This as probably used to emphasize Napoleon's importance. The gaze of the viewer unavoidably slides to Napoleon.

The depth of the image is emphasized by the column of horses. The horses appear to be overlapping to create depth, and emphasize the large size of the column.

The artist also carefully chosen the masses. Mainly there is four masses: the sky, road, napoleon, and his entourage. Once again, the masses are structured to give distinction to Napoleon.

This is a National Geographic Photo of the Day. Title is "Winter Morning, Yosemite". Photograph was done by Tony Williams in 2012

The armature in this image is strongly vertical and horizontal. To balance the domination of the vertical texture, the ground, tops of trees, and the lake provides horizontal armature.

The image has three distinct masses with different color and texture. The mountain in the back, the trees in the middle and the snow in the front. The dominating colors of the masses has patterns, light, dark, light, dark. Those masses makes the image more appealing to the yes, because they create strong contrasts, and symmetry.
