The Evil that is 'Centimetres'

Scale Auto Cad from MM to CM


If you have drawn in cm (which as we know construction is always in Metres or mm) not to worry. As with metres follow the instructions for creating your own scale, but this time instead of writing 1000 (ie 1000mm =1m) and then the scale you desire (1:100 i think) you put in the box 100 (as 100cm = 1M).

Trees

As requested by Robert (FE) and Simon (MA)


An old vid on Brush basics maybe of some help.

CS6 Free Beta Download

Worth a look



A basic tutorial on what features are new (must admit I found a load more in brushes).

With right image the Oil filter works a treat


Garish Original


Oil Filter plus some Image Adjustment (too dull, over did it, but when viewed in full screen a lot better)

Its a matter of deciding the function of the image i.e. stand out or may be a bit more atmospheric on closer inspection. The Oil certainly has more movement and atmosphere.

Helped with the Oil Filter


FE The beginning of Photoshop

Class tutorials


A run through of what went through in class, plus the photo-merge videos from the BA class.

Photoshop Effects (part one)

A place to start


I have put together the videos based on the lesson on Thursday. Also some extra bits and bobs so worth watching to help you along the way.


I have also pulled in a FE vid into the mix, on 'shadows' as requested (Chris).

Assignment One More detail

Detail


More detail for the first assignment.




CD




Power point


As you all performed so well on the practice run (plus a new schedule) I would like you all to produce a Power Point or Keynote (mac) slide show with at least one slide showing your AutoCAD drawing from the layout view saved as a pdf or a screen shot (more if necessary), images of the purposed site for your bench and context images/explanation.


Brief bullet points, picture paints a thousand words, less is more, and convince me!


This will be good for you as its difficult to do, a real challenge,


10 slides max.


AutoCAD Drawing


A dwg file on the CD, with all the layers, layouts and annotation.




Sketch Book


Scan and show images/thoughts as Jpeg images on the disc in a 
in a file called: Sketch book.


This is about the process. 


Printed


A2 to the relevant scale for the size of paper (see videos)
Dimensions, annotation and title block (bench name, name, scale, date etc)

FE Fly through Sketch-up

Have a Go!


What could possibly go wrong! Don't worry if it does not work at first, thus try only 5 scenes to make sure your settings work.

Follow the instructions on the video and all should be crystal and sharp.

As a bonus may be do two or three short scenes (6 or 7 per shot)

It does not take long to set up, just a long time to Render (2-6hours depending on computer age/speed)
