3D Modeling

This elective course was spread out over two semesters and focused on learning new techniques of rendering and modeling. First semester was more practical and based on sharpening our Revit and Photoshop skills. Second semester was more experimental in that we worked with modeling in Rhino and rendering in 3ds Max. To parallel this, in Revit we modeled furniture designed by someone else, while in Rhino we designed our own. It was a great learning experience to design off the wall furniture and experiment with bold colors and materials.

Through all of my education, I regard this skill set as most useful. Not only did I learn programs that are the future of Architecture and Interior Design but it provided me with the ability to accurately present my ideas.

The first chair shown is my own design created in Rhino. I titled it "Arctic Chair" based on the fact that I was influenced by the breaking apart of ice. It was featured on the IU Interior Design website.
