I handed in the website late last night into the hand ins folder but i came to school this morning to find that its not working for some reason. So just trying to fix it now.

Here are few more screen pics of the Wieland Pavilion for my visual diary.

1st: Looking towards the main entrance of the Wieland Pavilion.

2nd: Looking towards the balcony at the other side of the main entrance.

3rd: Overall shot looking towards the main entrance.

One thing that i never got around to update when i blogged about layers during the assignment wee while ago was the naming of the layers.

As the building became more complex, and more things to model, number of layers also started to increase as well. I got to a point where i couldnt pick the right layer without trying one or two first (if im lucky). So i developed a layering system that worked for me. This turned out to be one of the best decision i made during the assignment, which made my modelling much more efficient and less frustrating and less time choosing the right layers. The system was:

Name of the building_the part of the floor (eg: g for ground and 2 for second floor)_part the layer belongs to (eg carpet, floor, walls etc etc)

This layering system is an upgrade version to what i blogged at the start of the project, when there were only few layers. Below is the screen print of my layers in my latest file.

In order to save every file and keep record of everything, without having the world falling through on us if we were to accidently delete our files or whatever!!!! We saved our modelling sessions to two CDs changing between the two every time we saved. This means if we lose one of the CD or become damaged, then we would only lose one modelling session. Plus,  I saved my file onto my USB stick as well.

The better idea would have been if i uploaded every CAD files, after every session onto my resaonate as a blog, however my reasonate account didnt let me upload any of the AutoCAD files for most of the time for some weird reason. Until David Harrison fixed up my problem. he said it wasnt working because my reasonate file thought my CAD files were jpeg format. So that is why i uploaded whole lot of the files at once towards the end.

What i had to hand in AGES ago, i have just finished. the renders of my tutorials using both scaline and light studio. Took me a while, but i thought i'll do this, because if i dont, i fail the paper!!!!

Scanline renderings i found relatviely easier once i got the hang of it. But Light studio renders were more difficult. however, light studio renders look better than scanline in my opinion.

i have added the handrails for the back balcony. They are meant to be cylinder shape, but since those geometry take a long time to render, i have made them rectilinear. But unless i do a real close up shot, you cant really tell much difference.

This was done by combination of "extrude" and "array" tool. Piece of cake!

Here it is. Couldnt finish my renders last night becase of some legal problem with Viz.

I have finished uploading all the files that i couldnt upload in the past, due to some technical difficulties in reasonate, but David has kindly fixed the problem for me and shes all go!!!!
