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.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                               When half of the dodecahedron was built we used 3Dmirror to accomplish it.
  


Icosahedron

Icosahedron can be built inside the dodecahedron, using the centres of the pentagons.

. 


Octahedron

Octahedron is built by 3Dmirroring the pyramid with the square on the base.
Octahedron can be matched with the cube . For this we can use Align command.

We need to scale the object while aligning.

Cube can also be placed in the octahedron

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...

First attempts: "Abstraction" by Davit Kakabadze

Volumes and Surfaces.

On the  21st of April we learned to build different shapes using several commands. Using pline command we drew the shape and extrude d it normally, perpendicularly to the plan. We drew an inclined line towards the plan and extrude d the shape choosing Direction . Then we drew a circle and an inclined curved line (command spline ) and extruded choosing Path . We can make extrusion -choosing taper angle. We built a cylinder by extruding a circle. It was solid. To make it empty inside, we made another cylinder by extruding a smaller circle, fitted it to the first cylinder and substracted .  And decreased the transparency of their layer. Another substraction between cylinders. We can fill the different polygons with the tool region   and use substraction command. After building the "construction" for the new surface, we used the command:  Edgesurf . We can Thicken it. To create a loft   we dr...
