Earbuds Questions Stadel
I thought this tutorial was very interesting, especially since he only used a few tools and commands to make something pretty complex. Throughout this tutorial I did have some questions about what he was doing. It would also be useful to go over exercises with some tools he used that we have not done before.
Questions:
If F3 brings up properties, what do the other F# buttons do? (besides F10 and F11)
I saw what Transform – Array – Polar does, but I don’t understand why those commands do what they do.
Questions on reviewing tools:
Can we go over making a split on an isocurve?
Can we go over Patch? It seems like a helpful tool to review.
Can we also review adjusting trim and join?
On choosing an artist:
Choose an artist from the list below for your upcoming Art Report and Artist Presentation. The artists on this list all utilize CAD in their work. Please consider the following as you make your selection:
– When you find an artist that interests you, it is strongly recommended that you do a preliminary search for information. Before making your selection you’ll want to ensure that you’ll be able to learn a good deal about the artist’s ideas and intentions. In the best case scenario you’ll find multiple resources including the artist’s own writing, interviews, and/or reviews written by critics. If the information is limited you’ll need to make a judgement call on whether you’ll have enough content to create a highly informative 5-minute presentation.
– Since this is a studio art course we’re looking to discuss meaning and the intellectual content of an artist’s work, but not all digital artists are focused on generating this kind of depth in their work. Artists who are entirely commercially or technically focused would not be good selections. Look for an artist who makes work with rich, thoughtful content.
– Remember that you’ll cover the same artist for your first Art Report and Artist Presentation.
– Once you have made your selection please email the artist’s name to EVERYONE in the class, CCing the professor. Each student should choose a different artist and selections will be made on a first-come-first-serve basis.
Guidelines and rubrics for the Art Report and Artist Presentation:
Contemporary artists who use CAD to create their work:
Anish Kapoor (see especially the work he’s done with 3-d printing)
Wim Delvoye (see especially his gothic cathedrals)
Roxy Paine (see especially his sumaks and dendroids)
Frank Stella (see his work with 3d scanning and 3d printing)
Norwood Viviano (see especially Recasting Michigan)
Andrew Scott (See Scott’s blog also)
Horst Kiechle (see esp. his/her paper torso project)
Helen Marten (see esp. her animation projects)
– – –
Bathsheeba (Not a good option for an artist presentation, but makes some technically interesting forms)

TASKS for the semester, etc.
Meetings:
Biweekly. Friday at 3:30 at 7th Street. 2/7, 2/20, 3/6, 3/20, 4/3, 4/17
TASKS for the semester
- Become fluent in 3D printing by creating numerous test prints in the Digital Scholarship Center.
- Start by printing a couple of files downloaded from the Google 3D Warehouse or the Thingaverse.
- Preparing files for 3d printing is complex; watch this helpful video as you’re getting started: http://vimeo.com/80478910.
- Transition to printing from your own 3d scans and from the files I’ve included in this folder as soon as possible: P:\Meiser_Research\private\3D Printing
- Please do some experiments with the dissolveable filament in the DSC. It would be advantageous to be able to use it effectively.
- Do several experiments with various types of 3D scanning.
- Please do a few tests with each of the following: KScan, 123d catch, the Makerbot scanner in the DSC. Instructions for KScan are here: http://digitalsculpture.blogs.bucknell.edu/kscan-3d-directions/
- 3D print some of your best 3d scan results.
- Make notes on the reliability, quality, and limitations of each approach in your blog posts.
- Support Professor Meiser’s Digital Sculpture class by printing their 3D body scans after the students turn their files in on March 26. Please try to have all of these prints finished by April 9.
- Print out the Digital Sculpture students’ projects as needed in the last few weeks of the semester.
BLOG
At the end of each work session please make a blog entry at: http://arst349.blogs.bucknell.edu/ in the Lena category. In each blog entry, please include the following:
- List hours worked and the date (e.g. 6-8pm, February 5)
- A description of what you worked on
- Results (what you learned/accomplished)
- Relevant high quality photo(s)
Notes:
The Coleman 220 computer lab is equipped with Rhino and has good computers. The schedule is posted here: http://digitalsculpture.blogs.bucknell.edu/calendar/
Before each Monday morning, please post hours for the upcoming week on the shared Google Calendar. This will make it possible for Prof. Meiser to drop in to see how things are going when his schedule aligns.

Day One, January 15, 2015
To access the exercise files, go to the digital sculpture folder on Bucknell’s netspace by following this path: click on the start button in the lower left of the screen > computer > projects (\\netspace) > DigitalSculpture > private > exercises > then right click on the 1-15-2015 folder and save to your desktop)
This weekend, when you have finished your reconstruction of the Parthenon, please take a few screenshots of your work from different angles. I suggest using the “snipping tool” to create your screenshots. This can be found by looking in the accessories folder within the computer’s list of programs. To receive credit for your work, please upload your screenshots to the class website by following these instructions:
- Log on to the site by going to: https://digitalsculpture.blogs.bucknell.edu/wp-admin/
- Create a new post by clicking at the top of the page on the “+ New” button
- Once the post screen comes up, check the “research binder” box to the right to put the post in the right category
- Upload photos by clicking on the “upload/insert” button above the text field (remember to click the “insert into post” button while you’re on the upload screen)
- * So that I can give you credit for your work, don’t forget to put your name in the title of the post
Required:
1) External hard drive of at least 250 GB. Since all of your projects will be created digitally, you’re bound to run out of space on the network. I use and recommend Western Digital’s My Passport. If you can afford it, I suggest buying a 500GB or 1TB drive. Here’s a link to the Western Digital hard drives that are available on Amazon.
2) Headphones — please bring these to class so that you’ll be able to watch video tutorials during open work time.
Recommended:
Hours of clicking can be hard on your wrist, and an ergonomic mouse can help prevent tendonitis. Click here to link to the 3M ergonomic mouse that I use. (Note that this is a small version– if you have large hands then you may want to consider purchasing a large version of this mouse) Alternatively, a gaming mouse and wrist rest can also be a good combination. Gaming mice are more responsive than basic mice, and they have built-in adjustments of tracking speed, which can be handy when modeling. This is the setup I just bought for my computer, which I’m quite happy with: Logitech Optical Gaming Mouse G400, and 3M Gel Wrist Rest
Not needed, but good to have:
License of Rhino 5 for your personal PC computer. The cost to a student is $138. Follow this link to learn more. If you have a 64 bit computer then be sure to purchase the 64 bit version of the software.
If you purchase Rhino 5 for your personal computer then, as a student, you can download an educational license of the T-Splines plugin for free. Follow this link to learn more.
Lynda.com has some excellent tutorials on Rhino that could be a useful reference for you during the first month or two of working with the software. A 30-day subscription to Lynda’s site will cost you just $20. Here’s a link: Rhino on Lynda.com
If you do a lot of 3D modeling, it can also be handy to purchase a 3D mouse which can help with navigation of 3D space. I use the Space Navigator by 3Dconnexion. I’m not sure that we’ll be able to hook these up in our lab because there is some basic software that must be installed on the associated computer. Check with me first if you’re thinking about ordering one and I’ll bring mine over to the lab and test it out.
