BBSC 303 Digital Craft Lecture 3 March 14 2006

Topics: RSS feeds; Global Illumination; an expert's view of Archicad

David came in and presented the RSS feeds he has set up, plus the Sage plugin/extension that can be entered into the Firefox (recommended) web browser for subscribing to feeds.

I presented information on the two Global Illumination render options in 3DS Viz that are required tools for rendering the models currently being constructed in the tutorial exercises and are required in the Render assignment as well. These two are Radiosity based photon tracking and Radiance based photon tracking. They each have pros and cons.

Andrew Johnston then presented a personal view of how he would approach the use of Archicad to model buildings for the assigned work in the course.
