Light Design & Rendering, Part 1 (Oct 27) PDF Print E-mail

This will be a multi-part assignment in which you design and render a table or floor lamp. The first step will be to sketch out your design in traditional media, creating orthographics that can then be scanned in as Sketch Pictures in SolidWorks. Next, create a model (SolidWorks part) of your design using the tools we have learned so far. Think about the materials used to make your lamp (metals, woods, plastics, translucent materials, etc.) To make the rendering process easier in the next part of this project, try to design your SolidWorks part so that each body is made from only one material. Ensure that your lamp model is at a scale that would make sense in the real world.

The next part of this project will be to create PhotoWorks renderings of your lamp, but it's not necessary to do this just yet.

Part 1 Due: Oct 27 (for class presentation of model)
