Deliverables and Homework: Homework 2
Learn Basic Geometric Modeling Techniques (2% of the grade):
Most CAD modeling starts with geometric meshes that become more complex over time. Part of the workflow for efficient modelling involves basic fundamentals. One principles for modeling complex high resolution 3d models is to start with low polygon mesh count and large areas of the model design and then work towards breakdown the larger areas into smaller morer detailed meshes with high polygon count and proper topology. Using Autodesk Maya and/or Inventor design and create a model of a robot using basic geometric polygon meshes. This robot does not have to articulate / move. We will view and discuss your finished models in class.
Please, watch Videos 1 - 5 for this homework. The homework needs to be completed by end of the class on the day the homework is due. We recommend to start working on it before class.
