Assignment 1

Part 1: Software
Purchase and install Rhino and Keyshot. Purchasing this software is not optional.

Part 2: Tutorials
Complete the “Pull Toy” and “Flashlight” tutorials from the Rhino 5 user’s guide.

Part 3: Glasses
Working from the brief for Project 1: Glasses, create the following content:

1. Description
Write a brief text description of your design proposal. Your description must include the following content:

• 1 sentence profile of the museum, include the name of the museum, location of the museum, area(s) of focus (for example: contemporary art, civil war history, New England wildlife, etc)
• why your design is appropriate for this context
• 3 descriptive adjectives that characterize the aesthetic qualities of your designs

2. Development Sketches
Sketching is versatile tool for a designer, and is particularly helpful to resolve forms and solve modeling challenges when working with 3D CAD. Use sketching to develop the initial concept and form of your glasses’ design. Sketch on 8.5” x 11” sheets of paper. Scan or take legible photographs of the sketch(es) that guided your modeling. We recommend using Photoshop to clean up this image. Bring your sketches to class next week.

3. Rhino File
Your Rhino file must satisfy the following criteria:

• Each glass must be modeled solely with a single revolve
• Each glass must be a solid
• Place each glass on its own layer and name the layer accordingly
• Place each revolve curve on a sub-layer for each glass and name the layer accordingly
• Any construction geometry worth saving should be placed on a layer(s) with clear, logical naming and organizational strategy
• Align the revolve axis of each glass with the origin’s (0,0,0 point) Z-axis, with the base of the glasses resting on the Top CPlane

Put this file in your personal folder on the Google Drive. Name this file Lastname_Glasses.3dm

4. Rendering
Include 2 Renderings of your glasses:

• Front orthographic view showing all glasses
• Perspective view showing all glasses

Your renderings must satisfy the following criteria:

• horizontally align the glasses so they form a neat row, arranged in the following order (from left to right): wine glass, pint glass, water glass, juice glass
• leave equal spacing between each glass
• save your renderings in JPG format, with a maximum width of 800 pixels

5. Screenshot
Include a screenshot of your revolve curves with the control points turned on. Your screenshot must satisfy the following criteria:

• compose this screenshot in an orthographic view
• explode any joined curves
• horizontally align the revolve curves so they form a neat row, arranged in the following order (from left to right): wine glass, pint glass, water glass, juice glass
• leave equal spacing between each revolve curve
• save your screenshot in JPG format, with a maximum width of 800 pixels

6. Google Doc
Create a google doc that includes all of the content listed above, in the order indicated below:

1. Orthographic Rendering
2. Descriptive Paragraph
3. Perspective Renderings
4. Screenshot of Curves
5. Image(s) of Preliminary Sketch(es)

Save this document in your personal folder on the Google Drive, and copy it to the glasses assignment folder.  To do this use the ‘move to’ option when right clicking on the file, navigate to the Glasses Assignment folder and hold down the option/ctrl key to enable the ‘add here” function.
