The design is a surface model of the product e.g. Geometric surface modeling in 3D

The design is a 3D model of the product e.g. Solid modeling

The design is an editable 3D model of the product e.g. Parametric modeling

The design is the integrated representation of

all the compositional, analytical and fabrication

representations of the product

Review: 3d graphics software interface

Famous 3ds MAX. Since MS-DOS. Officially announced 3ds MAX at Siggraph 1995

How to use computer software? – GUI (Graphical User Interface)

Menu

Icons / Toolbar

Tabbed (grouped) Icons / Toolbar (Ribbon Interface by Microsoft)

Typing,Clicking,Drag and drop,Key stroke …

How to interact with computer software? – User Interfaces, as of 2012

CLI Command Line Interfaces- Command prompt

GUI Graphical User Interfaces- Windows, Mac

NUI Natural User Interfaces- Touch, motion, voice..

General software we use today

General CG software: for Efficiency and Precisione.g. AutoCAD command line

Why 3d graphics software is very hard to learn?

Ideal interfaces for 3D modeling- 3d laser scanning… (from real world objects)- Image processing (from 2d pictures to 3d model)- Beyond keyboard & mouse:

Tangible devices for manipulating 3d objects in 3d way

Most 3d graphics tools)- Handling 3d objects on 2d screen!- Too complicated 3d modeling on 2d views- Too many icons! (limitation of GUI)- Too complex options, too many function

This gap makes you hard to get 3d graphics!

Example - Another 3d modeling method: Laser Scanning

Laser Scanner

Scanning

Point Cloud

Example - Another 3d modeling method: Image-based geometry reconstruction

Google image search

Actual reason – why 3d graphics software is too hard to learn?

Quiz – do you know these?

Ray tracing, global illumination…

Bump mapping, Phong Shading…

Bezier curve, Spline, NURBS, control point, segments…

UV mapping, UVW

Polygon mesh

Sweeping, lathing

Knowing about camera and lenses – focal distance, aperture, exposure…

Without understanding what are these, learning 3ds MAX is equivalent to “memorizing the order of clicking

buttons among hundreds of icons, in a messy GUI interface”.

If you understand the logic, rather than the order of clicking buttons, you can learn any complicated modern 3d modeling

& rendering software such as Rhino, Maya, Blender, Digital Project, and so on, of course including 3ds MAX.

Review: 3d “Geometric” Modeling

Geometry for making 3d objects

Modeling 3d object:

Creating an object (hard to do, except making primitives)

And Modifying it (very hard to do – modify in 2d geometry)

Creating 3d objects

0 Primitives

A legendary Utah Teapot, developed by Martin Newell

Creating 3d objects

1 Extrusion: extruding a polygon

Creating 3d objects

2 Lathing: revolving a surface

Creating 3d objects

3 Sweeping: sweep a section profile onto a polygon path

Creating 3d objects

4 Others: Skinning, Boolean operation (CSG)…

An Example 3ds MAX Modeling & Representation -

“Geometric Modeling” – no need to be a smart model

Scenario: Workspace design concept developmentusing 3d visualization (3ds MAX)

3ds MAX use scenario in interior architecture design

Define UoD

Retouching in 2d Graphics Tools

(Geometric) Modeling

Material mapping

Rendering

Lights Camera Rendering scenes

Modeling universe (environment) Modeling design elements

2d sketch 3d modeling

Import Modification…

Planes Walls

Sky, outside view Modification…

What’s in your mind? - Roughly sketch it freehand if needed - Plan hierarchy diagram and objects

Photoshop (or others) supports lots of complicated effects- Modify: Level, Color balance, Sharpness, Gaussian blur, etc.- Add: Remapping, Compose, Texts, etc.

Concept & Development

This is a small office for an IT-based design company, a part of a high-rise building

They design Web-based media such as Prezi, Flash, e-contents, etc.

They need to get feedback frequently from users, remotely

Non-structural columns for digital communication! Media Posts!

Columns are connected to the network

They have several built-in touch-pad devices

Designers “post” their design to the Media Posts, and get feedback

Windows are also another type of Media board: Transparent screens

Reference Images

Stage 1: Modeling architectural environment

1 Create a box object: with enough segments in a proper size, e.g. 12m X 20m X 6m

2 Convert it into “Editable Poly”

3 Delete one side wall

4 Other 3 sides should be “Flip”

Stage 2: Photometric Lights

1 Create a Photometric light on the ceiling

2 Copy “instances” using Shift + Move icon

3 Adjust light options: Cylindrical emit, Intensity 50cd, set color, etc.

4 Test render inside for seeing inside brightness

Stage 3: Place a Camera

1 Place a target camera

2 Adjust its location properly

3 Adjust camera options: Focal distance (use wide), Multi-pass effect (depth of field), etc

4 Create a Camera view, test render inside for seeing via camera

Stage 4: Modeling Interior Elements

1 Create interior elements: create a box and copy instances (Columns)

2 Create interior elements: other elements dependent upon Level of Detail you want

3 Import elements: pre-defined furniture and/or cubicle system furniture, etc Copy instances

4 More lights and/or window modeling (still surface is okay in this LoD)

Stage 5: Material Mapping and Rendering

1 Assign one view port to the Camera, and toggle views using Alt + W

2 Assign colors into surface walls and interior elements: white

3 Assign preset materials to some of objects: Arch & Design solid glass to the window parts, floor..

4 Test render and adjust related setup: lights, material, camera lens & depth, etc Get your scene

Lab Exercises 01:

Camera MR Multi-pass effect (+ Caustics)

How to enable MR Caustics:

1. Turn on Caustics in GI tab:

Render setup - Indirect Illumination – GI

2. Turn on target objects “Generate Caustics”:

Object right click – object property

3. Turn on lights’ “Generate Caustics”

Rendering Example

Lab Exercises 02: Rendering HD images & reducing time

- 3ds Max + Vray using Light cache & Irradiance map- 3ds Max + MR using FG map & GI map

very high resolution images rendering for: Studio finals, Competitions, Graduation work, etc.

Reducing rendering time

Rendering consists of 1) calculation, and 2) image generation

calculation can be saved as a file (map file), and reused by another rendering with high resolution

this only takes image generation time, without long calculation time

At this moment, swapping map file can be applicable for avoiding color bleed, etc.

Avoid too detailed mesh models,

Use good mapping sources,

Do not load unnecessary models behind the scene,

Fix geometric errors, etc.

…And?

1920 X 1080 pixel image rendering in a couple of minutes, using Mental Ray in 3ds Max

Low resolution image

Lab Ex 05 – 1: Rendering HD image using Vray & Cache/map files

High resolution image

Lab Ex 05 – 2: Rendering HD image using MR FG/GI map files

Low resolution image

High resolution image

Reducing “Color Bleeding” using saved map files

Sometimes Color Bleeding hinders rendering good images

It can be controlled by replacing with different map files

Reducing “Color Bleeding” using saved map files

If needed, use different mapping colors for both:

1) making map file (with non-color bleeding colors), and

2) HD rendering (with any wanted colors)

Low resolution image

for making non-color bleeding map files (white background)
