So good first class, i think we made some progress today.....thanks for your comments and feedback....
here is the revisions to the assignment due friday at midnight....
all images will be placed on 11x17 pages as pdf's....format these pages, include borders, your name, studio name, date, and labels....this can be presented differently by all...your choice on how you wish to format....
GLOBAL DIAGRAM-Again, this is to convey the overall composition of your physical models...specifically how the different stitch organization determines the surface pattern and form.....
Begin by scanning/photographing the model in plan view, trace each trajectory and indicate using the stitch symbols the composition of your surface....for some, we discussed different ways in which you could convey the stitch organization and the surface curvature in one dwg...ie, flatten/unroll only a part of your model's surface while leaving the rest in its natural state of deflection....photograph/scan multiple views and diagram and trace trajectories....
Be creative and explore the different ways in which to achieve this...montage multiple views, use graphics and symbols....have fun with this dwg....as long as you convey the info necessary, and use some of the basic graphics we discussed, all will be fine....
avoid using text, try to convey all info with graphics/icons/symbols/different linetypes...avoid color if possible, i think it would be interesting if these are all black and white...also, only use the photos/scans for tracing..do not leave them in the dwg....only line work....
this dwg will be formatted on (1) 11x17 sheet
LOCAL SCALE STITCH DIAGRAMS- Refer to the diagrams showed in class, you will need more graphics than i showed to convey the direction of the path, and overlaps of lines....
color is ok if needed here....
you will need a plan and elevation of all the stitches used in your model so that we can produce a catalogue of stitches and stitch relationships/effects.....Remember you can show in one dwg more than one type of stitch....
plan/elevation of chain stitch (by itself or in relation to another type)
plan/elevation of other stitches used(by itself or in relation to another type)
Scale and proportion is equally important....we will use the cartesian coordinates you set up for these diagrams in rhino to plot out the path of your stitches....(similar to the bird flocking we saw)....
(1) 11x17 per stitch....overall (2) 11x17 formatted pages to be submitted
RHINO 3D STITCH-Everyone must at least make an attempt to translate their stitches digitally in rhino...minimum of 2 stitches....more is better....the type of stitch you use is up to you...i would prefer not everyone do chain stitches...mix it up so that we again have a catalogue of 3d stitches to work from for the scripting....
produce renderings of your model....min 2 images formatted to (1) 11x17 page....
In total, you should have (4) 11x17 pdf pages uploaded to course folder friday night...I will be in studio tomorrow, time tbd....email me with any questions, and have fun with the images...especially the global diagram....
see you tomorrow
thanks
