Detailed Description
Students explore techniques to produce photo-realistic design
presentation graphics (still and animated) efficiently in multiple
computer media. Students develop advanced strategies for computer
modeling buildings and their environments (both man-made and
organic)
using solids, surfaces, and plug-ins. Students use stock material
libraries, build complex custom materials, and map materials to
their
models. Students create photo-realistic lighting (natural,
artificial, and production), and achieve photo-realistic shading.
Students choose effective camera positions (stills) and motions
(animation), then stitch multiple stills and animations together
into
longer movies, with the addition of titling and transitions.
Students
discuss strategies for performing all activities with efficient time
management and minimized file size. Students develop the ability to
self-teach software emerging and upgraded software packages. While
establishing these general computer modeling skills, students learn
and use industry standard software packages (Autodesk MAX and Adobe
Premiere Pro) to apply learning outcomes. The summative evaluation
is
a photo-realistic building presentation which is used in future
courses and presented at the annual Architectural Open House to
prospective employers.
Program Context
|
Architectural Technology |
Program Coordinator: Ken Snell |
This required course is the
second in a series of three
courses which explore three-
dimensional computer
visualization of buildings.
Focusing on skills required
by the Architectural industry
for the production of
presentation graphics, this
course teaches advanced
Computer Aided Drafting (CAD)
and video post-production
software techniques to create
photo-realistic still images
and animations of proposed
buildings.

Course Critical Performance and Learning Outcomes
|
Critical Performance:
By the end of this course, students will have successfully
demonstrated the ability to create computer generated photorealistic
design presentation building models using Autodesk MAX and movies
using Adobe Premiere Pro comprised of still images and animations of
those building models.
Learning Outcomes
To achieve the critical performance, students will have demonstrated
the ability to:
1. Develop a vocabulary and awareness of Architectural design.
2. Research and procure information and drawings for
architectural projects of merit.
3. Create, edit and use raster images from hardcopy to aid
computer modeling.
4. Create complex architectural computer models, including
buildings and their surrounding environments, apply learning
using Autodesk AutoCad and MAX software.
5. Produce computer rendered still images of architectural
models, apply learning using Autodesk MAX software
6. Create and manipulate light sources (natural, artificial and
production) in an architectural computer model, apply learning
using Autodesk MAX software.
7. Create and apply complex material to an architectural
computer model, apply learning using Autodesk MAX software.
8. Design a storyboard to plan an animation project.
9. Animate computer modeled objects in a scene, apply learning
using Autodesk MAX software.
10. Produce animations of a computer modeled scene.
11. Edit computer rendered stills to improve quality, apply
learning using Adobe Photoshop software.
12. Produce a computer generated movie using post-production
skills to combine stills, animations, titling and music, apply
learning using Adobe Premiere Pro software.

Evaluation Plan
Students demonstrate their learning in the following ways:
|
A. In-Class Exercises & Quizzes - 10%
B. Major Project, including multiple progress submissions -50%
(Modules 1-12)
C. Test 1 - 20% (Modules 3-9)
D. Test 2 - 20% (Modules 9-12)
Regardless of the final total mark, students must obtain at least
50% on the exam/theory/test(s) and 50% on the lab/project
(s)/assignment(s) components of this course in order to obtain a
passing grade in this course.
