Parabolic surfaces, 3D Figures

 On the 3rd of March we learned to create parabolic surface and other 3D figures.


For creating a parabola we built 2 perpendicular axis and marked two spots - Vertex and Focus (which's distance from the vertical axis is twice in comparison with the distance between Vertex and the same axis.)

From the spot F we built concentric circles by offseting for one and the same number.









 Then we drew lines keeping the same distance.Using spline tool and the crossing points of the circles and lines we drew a parabola.
To build a surface with a thickness, we  offseted the curve of parabola and added the edges.

We used Revsurf to build a parabolic surface from the parabolic curve and the axis.
And repeated it twice for the second parabolic line and the edge.
We can enter command Shade for better visualisation.









Using a horizontal axis we can create a different surface. In this case i used 3Drotate to change the position of the figure.

We can use the same technique for creating various shapes. This figure was built from the concentric circles and the Revsurf tool.But in this case I used less than 360 angle.







Using Revolve tool I created cone and a sphere.Extrusion can help to create different prisms and cylinder.

Polyhedrons - How they match

On 31st of March  class we created  different polyhedrons. Each polyhedron has a matching geometrical figure. We tried to find matches for each shape and used several different tools. Dodecahedron Dodecahedron consists of 12 pentagons. So, at first we created pentagons. And using circles and lines we found their meeting point. Then, we 3Drotated them.  After one of them was rotated we used 3Darray.                                                                                                                                                                  ...

Animation with Letters - 3Ds Max

For creating an animation with letters, we went through several steps: creating letters, giving them material, setting lighting and camera, adding sounds. For creating letters MVTA we used Text tool , Extruded them to give volume and using Bevel tool, we changed the edges of the letters and made them more round and soft. We used Material Editor, to create and give the letters desired texture. After finishing designing letters, we moved to animation. After adjusting the frame editor we turned on the Auto button to begin creating movements. We placed the camera on the first position and after moving the time slider on the needed frame, we relocated the camera.The second step in our animation was the R otation of the letters and the final one- moving the light horizontally, from West to the East. Finally we added 2 sounds. In my video , first sound (rain drops) follows the full lenght of the video and the second one (thunder) appears in the moment when the light moves to create an effe...
