Exercise #1:

Visualization of an Exhibition Space

due 2/6 (week 3)

******* Revised due date = 3/5 (week 5) *******

(Refer to the tutorial on my 3dtutorials.michaelorourke.com website for technical guidance on this exercise.)

Select an actual physical room or possible exhibition space. Take measurements of that room.

Using the Maya software, create a 3d polygonal model of this exhibition space. Use the actual dimensions of the physical space you measured. Add some artworks to the space. Include a human figure as a scale reference. Model and texture and light as appropriate. Create at least two software rendered images.

On the due date, hand in a CD or DVD disk with all relevant Maya files organized into a standard Maya project folder. Name your files so that I can find and understand them readily. Print out hardcopy prints of your two rendered images (minimum size = 8"x10" each).
