Modeling Practical Quiz


Objectives:
To practice applying modeling techniques to creating forms
To demonstrate the ability to use FormZ modeling

You will be given the name of a bicycle part.

Part I: Brainstorming

Working with your partner strategize how you could model the part using FormZ. What operations are needed in what order? What would you need to draw in 2D.

Part II: Make it

Working to scale, create a model of the part which you have been assigned. Give material properties to make it look realistic and render a 60-30 axonometric. Put both the original FormZ model and the PICT image in the Course Disk.
