MIDTERM EXERCISE

3 Techniques 3 Affordances

For your midterm you will produce three formal diagrams based on three different techniques we covered in class. Each diagram will create three affordances in one form. You will use the tiling technique (based on tutorial 5), an animated form technique (based on tutorial 6) and a blending technique (based on tutorial 7). Each formal diagram should be an original form- not just a retooling of the tutorials. Each formal diagram at a minimum should embody three affordances- shown by using the 3D people.


Even though this is a introductory exercise, you must show control of the technique and an understanding of the formal logic. The majority of your grade will be based on your ability to show strong digital craftsmanship.

Deliverables:

On 3/23/11 you will turn in a CD with 9 rendered images, 3 for each diagram. And the Maya files of the project. You will also be expected to upload the 9 rendered images to the blog.
