Courses - Autumn 2012


 

Courses in Autumn Term consist of 12 independent one day courses starting in Week 3. All MS-Lab courses take place either on a Monday or Saturday up until Week 9 of the Autumn Term. A precise Calendar is shown in the following pages, and online on the AA Media Studies website (www.aa-mediastudies.net). Courses will cover applications focusing on imaging and visualisation, 3D modeling, automated computation, CAD and CAM operations, and physical simulation. The following applications will be on offer for the Autumn Term: major programs from the Adobe Suite, AutoCAD, Microstation, Rhino, Grasshopper for Rhino, VRay for Rhino, 3D Studio Max, and Maya.

  • Chris Dunn
  • Monday 8th Oct

  • 10am - 5pm

This workshop course serves as a general introduction to the basics of drafting and modeling in Autodesk AutoCAD. Students will learn the fundamentals of producing CAD drawings, along with basic import/export standards.

  • Christina Doumpioti
  • Saturday 13th Oct

  • 10am - 5pm

This workshop course will introduce students to general image processing in Photoshop, along with workflow integration with the Adobe Suite. Students need not have previous Photoshop experience to follow with course exercises.

  • Andres Harris
  • Saturday 20th Oct

  • 10am - 5pm

This workshop course will introduce students to NURBS-based modeling in Rhinoceros 3D (Rhino). Inherent in the course instruction, will be in understanding how to interact with 3D digital space for architectural projects.

  • Andres Harris
  • Saturday 27th Oct

  • 10am - 5pm

This workshop course serves as a general introduction to the basics of drafting and modeling in Bentley Microstation. Students will learn the fundamentals of producing CAD drawings, along with basic import/export standards.

  • Christina Doumpioti
  • Saturday 3rd Nov

  • 10am - 5pm

This workshop course will introduce students to NURBS-based modeling in Rhinoceros 3D (Rhino). Inherent in the course instruction, will be in understanding how to interact with 3D digital space for architectural projects.

  • Joshua Newman
  • Monday 5th Nov

  • 10am - 5pm

This workshop course will introduce students to modeling and animation in Autodesk 3D Studio Max. Inherent in the course instruction, will be in understanding how to interact with 3D digital space for architectural projects.

  • Ran Ankory
  • Saturday 10th Nov

  • 12pm - 6pm

This workshop course will introduce students to modeling and animation in Autodesk Maya. Inherent in the course instruction, will be in understanding how to interact with 3D digital space for architectural projects.

  • Joshua Newman
  • Monday 19th Nov

  • 10am - 5pm

This workshop course will provide instruction in rendering and animation techniques within Autodesk 3D Studio Max. Students need only to have a basic working understanding of 3D Studio Max.

  • Ran Ankory
  • Saturday 17th Nov

  • 10am - 5pm

This workshop course will extend lessons from Maya 1 (offered earlier in the term) onto advanced topics using integrated engines and interoperability within advanced design pipelines.

  • Edgar Payan Pacheco
  • Saturday 24th Nov

  • 10am - 5pm

This workshop course will introduce students to the process of rendering with VRay within Rhino. Students will use a base set of geometry, or may use their own, to learn techniques in concepts such as applying materials, lights, and global rendering configurations.

  • Vincent Nowak
  • Saturday 1st Dec

  • 10am - 5pm

By looking at BIM (Building Information Modelling) standards of modeling and workflow, this course looks at a young but rapidly growing alternative to the design process using a more integrated approach to maintain consistency throughout various stages of the design process.
