  1. Damian O’Brien Lecturer: 3D Modeling & Animation Art, Technology & Everything In Between

  2. Structure Of My Talk About the college & its equipment Teaching 3D & student work Problems solved

  3. About The College COFA is an arts college with schools in Art, Art History & Theory, Art Education and Design Students of any discipline can enroll in 3D It’s the first focused delivery of 3D modeling & animation

  4. Our Equipment & Software 44 B/W G3’s 320MB, 35 iMac’s 7 G3 Media 100’s Lightwave/Photoshop/Illustrator/ Fireworks/Quark/Premiere/Director Dreamweaver/Pagespinner/ ProTools/Pagemaker

  5. Our Equipment & Software Assimilator used to manage labs Access to a wide range of video editing, sound editing, sculpture, Painting & Drawing facilities

  6. Students & Their Interests No previous experience with 3D modeling & animation Wide range of skills, students were majoring in a variety of areas Necessary to develop a method of running the class that would benefit as many as possible

  7. Approach To Class Project Based, encouraging incorporation of other skills Output from the class used in web pages, still images, personal show-reels & product design

  8. Example Of Workflow Work created on G3’s using Lightwave & other equipment Network rendered to G3 server (Storage necessary) Edit on the G3 Media 100’s, encode using Media Cleaner Output to destination device

  9. Network Rendering (AKA thank goodness for Applescript) Creating a render farm using Lightwave on a Mac = #!&*^$ :( Network rendering offers large increases in the productivity of our hardware A procedure of automation needed to be designed

  10. Network Rendering (AKA thank goodness for Applescript) Solved using a combination of Applescript & Keyserver Activated by the global time synchronizer used in labs (Crond) Problem solved, without Applescript it could not happen

  11. Conclusion Fine Arts & Fine Technologies are not mutually exclusive 3D looks to have a very bright future on the Mac When all else fails, build one yourself ;)
