Week3
Assignment
model (raster, vector, 2D, 3D, render, animate, simulate, ...) a possible final project, and post it.
Hardware and Softwares used
-GIMP
-Inkscape
-AutoCad
-zbrush
-Fusion 360
Outcome
I have a very basic skill on 3D software. I have an experience on 123D and Fusion360.
For this week assignment, I tried to use which I am not familiar with. So I spend more time to study diffrent types of 3D software such as Autocad, Zbrush, and Fusion360.
For 2D software, because I am familiar to illustrator and photoshop, I study on free software GIMP and Inkscape.
2D Software
GIMP
GIMP is free raster graphic editor. I've never heard of it before. After using it, I found out that this is like light version of Photoshop. GIMP is free software and good for image control.
I made a GIF animation
to show the progress images of assignment but it was hard to conrol play and speed. I wanted to play whenever I clicked it, instead infinitly looping, but it plays only once and fails to play again.

Inkscape
Inkscape is like light version of illustrator. It is free. Using Inkscape, I changed raster image to vector image and export to dxf file. It is useful to scan one's drawing and make it to dxf file. I will import this dxf file later for fusion 360.
-import raster imgae.

3D Software
AutoCad
I have heard about CAD lots of times though since I am not fond of numbers, I never tried to use it. However to use machines for making, sketch using precise number is convinient way. First time was hard to draw lines and confused the start point. But as it goes it becomes esay. It is somewhat esier than I thought becuse the way is similay to Fusion 360 sketch.
-Download and Setup the trial version.
-Type the Line command and put start and end points(x,y axis)
-Type Circle command, put 2 or 3 point of x,y axis, or center and radious.
To make 3D, you have to change WCS to UCS, and put thickness.

Zbrush
I have never used Zbrush before. Totally new and very typical interface it has. It reminds me Painter, 2D software which is very typical interface and result work. Zbrush is very fun to do. I want to study more later.

Fusion 360
Fusion 360 was easier to make 3d bodies than Autocad. More sketch is similar to 2D vector software and creat 3D from sketch is more intuitive and easier than AutoCAD. I made an automata box with fusion360.
-Use Mirros, and pattern for sketch and colinear, Mid point constraint to match each other.
-extrude to make 3d bodies.
-Use modify>align to arrange the elements.

Summary
Since I studied visual design, 2D softwares are easy to guess the way to do. But 3D softwares are takes time and everyting is hard and new. Specially it requires precise numbers and does not allow any mistakes. However it was fun to trip new world of software.
