CADHP1 Final Day

CADHP1 Final Day


This is the last day.
The last two days every program that could misbehave... did. Talk about working under pressure.

When I tried to print DWF from AutoCAD there was almost every time some error which I couldn't find and fix. After a couple times I did manage to finish it.

Unfortunately I didn't have enough time to photoshopp my render photos as good as I would want to. I only had time to change one part of the photo and put flower in two of them. I'm very dissapointed with this because I hoped for higest grade.

I wrote report and created a video which I posted on Youtube (you can find it below). Not my longest video but I was running out of time.


To sum up my work:

I started with this referance photo:

This is my presentation photo

2 hour render, res 2400 x 1600

And  renders from 3Ds Max, with a little help of Photoshop (1 hour render, res 1200x800)

Picture 3

After a little more work done in Photoshop:

This is video of my work

I send today:
- report
- 3DsMax file
- DWF file with 12 layouts:
                  - Armchair
                  - bar
                  - bar footrest
                  - table
                  - front desk
                  - char
                  - football table
                  - glass table
                  - leaflets stand
                  - TV
                  - Stand with dimensions
                  - Stand with part list which was created by Data extraction from attributes
- AutoCAD files (besides those which were use to DWF)
                   - canopy
                   - carpet
                   - flower pot
                   - lighting box
                   - wall


It was a long task, but very sitisfying in the end, even without making everything perfect.

CADHP1 Day 14

CADHP1 Day 14             1.10.2015

Animation render was succesfull. One down many more to go.

Today I spent almost 4 hours trying to uninstall Photoshop. I couldn't do it so I turned to my seven years old laptop. It should be retired long time ago. Finally I did managed to install Photoshop but it run so slow that even making alpha mask of an flower was a long task.

In the meantime when I worked on photoshop on one computer I made renders it the 3DsMax. I made 3 render pictures 1200x800, each rendered for 1 hour and one presentation photo 2400x1600 2 hour render.

At this point alomost everything was ready. But between "almost" and "ready" is actually a really big gap. I couldn't zip Max files because render was in use. Couldn't use Photoshop because I had to wait on the pictures. And something went wrong (again) in AutoCAD. When I was using Sheet Set The program didn't always see the connection between files. So once again I had to restart program.

CADHP1 Day 13

CADHP1 Day 13            30.09.2015

I never expected that layouts could take so much time. But if you look at those you understand

I made animation path in Max and put camera_walkthrough. I'll set render so it will be done in the morning.
This will be one of the shortest animation I've ever done but on the other hand it will be rendered :)

CADHP1 Day 12

CADHP1 Day 12               29.09.2015


Max update

I added textures on planes so they will be visible on renders. But when I started to search for them I realized that I have to put them together from multiple different sources. Unfortunately my Photoshop trial ended so I had to focus on learning how to use Gimp. Makings logos wasn't even so hard but I have no idea how to make alpha masks in Gimp.

And more layouts:

CADHP1 Day 11

CADHP1 Day 11            28.09.2015

Today I'm working in 3Ds Max. I've imported my scene using Linked,  considering the fact that my bar whas in the beginning to small. So now if I will see that something is wrong in Max I can just apply changes and reload the whole scene without losing anything.


This is how it looked without any materials (ok, maybe i added one grey generic one, because it's all black when you import a scene)

Then I started to add materials and it looking quite nice.

In the meantime I made to layouts :)

CADHP1 Day 10

CADHP1 Day 10         25.09.2015

Canopy ready:

Second repport sent.

And my scene is ready :)
Took a lot of work. More hours than expected. But I did it.

I started also to work on 2D drawings. I'm making attributes, then blocks and layouts.

CADHP1 Day 9

CADHP1 Day 9         24.09.2015

I dag satt jeg opp sittegruppe og siden det har jeg laget to innlegg med glass. l skapte også holdere for glass så det kan være faktisk mulig å holde den.

Today I set up seating area and next to it i've created two posts with glass. l created also holders for glass so it could be actually possible to hold it.

Jeg begynte også å jobbe med baldakin. Laget skjelettet ved hjelp Array.

I started also to work on canopy. Made skeleton by using Array.

CADHP1 Day 8

CADHP1 Day 8         23.09.2015

I dag skjønte jeg at stolene som sto ved baren ble for tett sammen. Når setter jeg dem lenger fra hverandre jeg måtte endre baren. Det ser nesten det samme som tidligere. Det er bare lengre og bredere. Og akkurat som jeg var nesten ferdig med endringene AutoCad gjorde noe rart. Programmet ble ikke lagre alle endringer, men bare halvparten av dem. Vet ikke hvordan og hvorfor, men som vanlig å gjøre det samme for andre gang tok mye mindre tid :)

Today I realized that the chairs which stood by the bar were too close together. When I set them further apart I had to change the bar. It looks almost the same as earlier. It's just longer and wider. And just as I was almost done with changes AutoCad did something strange. The program didn't save all changes but only half of them. Don't know how and why, but as usual doing the same thing  for the second time took much less time :)
 

Så jeg gjorde metall fotstøtte for baren og blomsterpotte for resepsjonen..

Then I made metal footrest for the bar and flower pot for the front desk
 

CADHP1 Day 7

CADHP1 Day 7         22.09.2015


 I dag begynne jeg å jobbe på min lenestol med et friskt øye. Hadde noen ideer hvordan å løse mitt problem. Etter litt modellering jeg kommet opp med en stol som så mye bedre enn den forrige.

Today i start to work on my armchair with a fresh eye. Had couple of ideas how to solve my problem. After a bit of modeling I come up with a chair that looked a lot better than the previous one. 

Jeg gjorde avrundinger med å skape form og flytte den gjennom path med Sweep funksjon.

 I made roundings with creating shape and move it through path with Sweep function.

Etter par justeringer min lenestol ser slik ut.

 After couple of adjustments my armchair looks like this.

 Men fortsatt var det noe galt. I baksiden av stolen var et lite gap mellom stolryggen og setet. AutoCad kunne ikke gjøre unionen mellom dem. Det var trolig til mye forskjellig geometri.
Så i mitt siste forsøk på å lage denne retten jeg laget linjer basert på tidligere lenestoler og brukte Loft funksjon og nå lenestolen ser ut som det skal.

But still there was something wrong. In the back side of the chair was a small gap between back of the chair and the seat. AutoCad couldn't make union between them. There was probably to much of different geometry.
So in my final attempt to make this right i made lines based on previous armchairs and used Loft function and now the armchair looks like it should.

CADHP1 Day 6

CADHP1 Day 6         21.09.2015

I dag jobbet jeg videre med objekter i min oppgave. I messestanden min er fire sittegrupper. Det er armstolene og litt glassbord. For å lage et bord var ganske lett oppgave. 

Today I worked on with objects in my task. In my exhibition stand are four seating areas. It's armchair and a little glass table. To create a table was fairly easy task.

Neste, jeg starte å jobbe på en lenestol. Det var ikke så lett. Først lagde jeg lenestol av primitiver men den så ganske galt ut. Sjekk det ut selv :)

Next, I start working on an armchair. It was not so easy. First I made an armchair of primitives but it looked quite wrong. Check it out yourself :)

 
Så regne jeg at jeg må ta en pause fra lenestolen og ta en ny sjanse senere. Jeg har definitivt å tenke hvordan du lager den.
Deretter begynte jeg å jobbe på fotballtabellen. Den har buede overflater som den ekte slik at ballen ikke ville fast i hjørner.
Jeg hadde ikke helt ferdig, men dette er hva jeg har for i dag.

So I figure that I have to take a break from the armchair and take another try later. I definitely have to think how to create it.
So I started to work on the football table. It has curved surfaces like the real one so the ball wouldn't stuck in corners.
I didnt quite finish it but this is what I have for today.

CADHP1 Day 5

CADHP1 Day 5          18.09.2015

Da er tid for å sende min mellomrapport. Jeg sendte dwf file med hele scena og beskrivelse av hva har jeg gjørt.

Today it's time to send my status report. I sent dwf fime of whole scene and describe what I did so far.


Etter at jeg har sendt rapporten min jeg lagte en TV til scena mi.

After I sent my report I made a Tv to my scene.

CADHP1 Day 4

CADHP1 Day 4      17.09.2015


I dag brukte jeg mesteparten av dagen å prøve å sette alt jeg har laget så langt inn i hovedfilen . Det overrasket meg hvor mye tid det tok.

Today I spent most of the day trying to put everything I've created so far into the main file. It surprised me how much time it took.

Dette er utsikten fra bak baren.

This is the view from behind the bar.

Dette er generelle utsikten på hele scenen.
This is overall view of the whole scene.

CADHP1 Day 3

CADHP1 Day 3      16.09.2015

I dag har jeg ønsket å gjøre mye av modellering. Jeg hadde ikke forventet mye problemer med det, men  jeg var galt. Nesten hele dagen AutoCAD var mindre enn samarbeidsvillig. Jeg måtte modellere bar 4 ganger fordi AutoCAD krasjet, og det var noen feil i .bak filen.
Så nå er jeg virkelig forstår behovet for å ha sikkerhet kopi i annet sted enn harddisken.

Today I wanted to do a lot of modelling. I didn't anticipated much problems with it but boy I was wrong. Almost all day AutoCAD was less than cooperative. I had to model the bar 4 times because AutoCAD crashed and there was some error in .bak file.
So now I really understand the need to have safety copy in other place than hard drive.

Men til slutt gjorde jeg lage baren.
But finally I did create the bar. 

CADHP1 Day 2

CADHP1 Day 2          15.09.2015

I går klarte jeg ikke til å slutte hele scena men i dag klarte jeg det.

Yesterday I didn't finish whole scene but today I managed to do that.

 Nå kunne jeg begynne å fokusere på modellering. Først gjorde jeg frontveggen, resepsjon, bord og da jeg fokuserte på barstol. Den siste var vanskelig, men jeg klarte :)

Now I could start to focus on modelling . First I made front wall, front desk, table and then I focused on bar stool. The last one was tricky one but I managed :) 

CADHP1 Day 1

CADHP1 Day 1      14.09.2015

Da var det tid for eksamen og oppgaven er utlevert. Vi skulle først velge ut tre messestands som skulle sendes inn til godkjenning. På den måten fikk vi valgt litt selv vanskelighetsgrad. Det var ikke enkelt å bestemme seg. Men føler meg greit fornøyd med oppgaven. Nå er målet å lage den så perfekt som mulig og krysse fingrene for at det holder til en høyere karakter.

Now it's time for exam and task was given. First we had to choose three exhibitions stands which we send for approval. This way we could choose level of difficulty ourselves. It wasn't easy to decide but I'm happy with my choice. Now the goal is to make it as perfect as I can and cross my fingers that it will be enough for higher grade.


 Oppgaven / The task:

Denne messestanden fikk jeg i oppgave å modellere i AutoCAD - lage standen, møbler og alt som er på bildet. Så er oppgaven å lage tegninger av ti objekter fra listen jeg la til i forslag til oppgave godkjenningen. De neste delene er å sette opp lys og materialer i 3DS Max og fikses med Photoshop, også en videopresentasjon med en motion path animasjon skulle med.

This is the exhibit stand that I chose to model in AutoCAD - make the stand, furniture and everything that is on picture. The task is to make drawings of ten object from list I added in proposed task approval. Next parts are to sett up lights and materials in 3Ds Max and fixed rendered pictures in Photoshop, then make a video presentation with a motion path animation.

For starten jeg laget et perspektiv rutenett som tillot meg å anslå størrelsen på standen.

For start I made a perspective grid which allowed me to estimate size of the stand.

 

 Da hadde jeg riktig størrelse, jeg jobbet med DVIEW i AutoCAD og kunne lage omtrentlig størreslse av ting i scena min.

When I had right size I worked with DVIEW in AutoCAD and could make the approximate size of things in the scene.
