Hey guys
Great output of work today. Great to see you guys really grasping the basics now and getting more into thinking about your designs and concepts!!
Russell has posted on his blog about downloading the UNSW model. View this post <here>.
If you don't yet have a copy of Artisan for Sketchup you can get that <here>. Artisan will give you a 15 day evaluation version which is perfect because experiment two is due in thirteen days! If you already have started your evaluation period make sure you do any artisan work before it expires or you can check to see if the computer labs have Artisan installed (worst case borrow a friends laptop!)
You'll want to be able to post high resolution screen shots from Lumion, if you are only getting low res images try downloading and installing FRAPS which you can find <here>. FRAPS will run in the background and allows you to assign a hotkey that will take a screenshot whilst you are working and save it to a designated folder.
For next week: begin to develop your light rail stop from one of your drawings in todays class in Sketchup and Lumion. Have a think about scale (big is okay, small is okay, but you should have a reason behind either choice and it should most definitely be intentional!). Post your two Lumion images as well as the sketch image from your Moleskine to your blog before next studio. I'd recommend getting the UNSW context in sooner rather than later. Have a play with the paraphernalia of Lumion (people, trees, buses (perhaps a tram??), etc.) as well as different lighting conditions - these will provide context to your model that will help "sell" your design, but keep in mind you aren't marked directly on their usage.
Finally, rewrite the concepts relating to your chosen axonometrics so that the new piece of writing forms an "Electroliquid Aggregation".
As always, if in doubt refer to the course outline and the weekly tasks. I will periodically be looking through your blogs through the week to offer comments/guidance where I can but it makes sense that if you post the night before next studio than my comments wont be of much use to you... If you have an urgent question, comment on one of my posts so that blogger sends me an email.
Looking forward to seeing what you guys have for next studio!
Cheers
Chris
