What I Learned Wednesday

Ok, ok, I know it's "technically" not Wednesday anymore (I meant to post this yesterday). So I LOVE going to school and learning new things everyday!!! I am so excited for my visual media class because we're learning about how to edit/ write and manipulate HTML and CSS. I'm pretty sure since I'm so stoked about this, I am officially a nerd! Wow, what an interesting feeling. Any-who, our current project is designing a web page and turning/ submitting it by Monday. So that is easily a weekend activity I'll be enjoying for sure! The other thing that I am WAY excited about is my BIM class (building information modeling) we use a program called REVIT that allows us to model buildings in 3D. We are getting close to the end of the course and our final project is a rendered walk through of the buildings we have been modeling. SO I have (what my teacher calls) my first piece of PROOF! I am so excited that it actually worked. I'm going to post my little walk through clip at the bottom. Now this is just a preliminary walk through of just the wire frame of the model. I have yet to put all of the detail components in it yet. So if it looks funky, at the beginning, don't worry, I'm fully aware of it and in the works of getting it to perfection. I'll keep posting updates of my progress and finally my final walk through movie! Yay!!! I'm so so so so so.... EXCITED!!!

-enjoy!

 This is an exterior view of my building I am rendering. It has some of the earth in place (it's not quite where it needs to be just yet) but it's cook how you can see the foundation walls underneath it. 

 

 

So this is just a quick screen capture of what I'm looking at in REVIT before I render anything.

This is an example (test run) of how well my model will render in the end. The lighting is kinda funny because we're looking directly at a cross section of the building, so the sun light is just pouring in and casting shadows. But since my building doesn't have a gaping hole in it, it will render more "normal" looking at the end. During the walk through this will be shown on the right side. My camera angel isn't great, so you don't get a good view at this display case.

So this is just a quick hidden frame walkthrough to give me an idea of what my camera is pointing at. Below is a VERY short clip of what it would look like if it were rendered completely. To get 30 sec. of rendered walk through takes about a day for my computer to do!
