7. Q & A
NOTES:
Class format:
Class sessions will consist of lecture/demos, workshop exercises and student presentations. The lectures will explain objectives and concepts and the demos will provide simple how-to examples to illustrate concepts. The exercises will require that students try out the skills shown in the demo within a limited time period. Reading and project assignments will reinforce the concepts introduced in class.
The teaching fellows, Seishi Unuma and Scott Passman, will assist the students during class and run a weekly 1 1/2 hr help session.
Fetch file transfer:
Menu Customize > Preferences > Upload > Default non-text format: Raw Data
All graphics files go from Mac to and from UNIX as Raw Data or Binary form.
All HTML files travel as Text or Ascii Text.
Software:
Access to your own computer plus the FormZ software and documentation is highly recommended. While it will be possible to access the software from the Klamath or Millrace labs, it can be difficult. See appendix for ordering FormZ.
Storage:
You need to store and back-up your own files. For this you can send files for storage on your Gladstone or Darkwing account by using Fetch. If you have large storage needs, you can purchase a removeable hard drive, such as the 100 mB Zip Drive ($139 + ~$17/cartridge) or 1GB Jaz Drive ($500 + ~$120/cartridge) All work on the Klamath machines will be deleted, except for that on the CourseDisk: HOME: NYC folder. As the class space is limited, Work in Progress will be deleted as the maximum is reached.
From remote locations on the UO Appletalk net, use the Chooser to pick Appletalk; Zone: CC Klamath Labs, Server: Pigasys, login as "arch96", choose Course Disk - HOME - NYC
Books:
Extensive readings in the Mitchell book, Digital Design Media, and the Goldman book, Architectural Graphics: traditional and digital, are required and the texts are available at the UO bookstore. A third excellent book, Kerlow¹s The Art of Rendering and Animation addresses rendering and animation from a more general view. These books and additional readings will be on reserve in the AAA Library as well.
Software manuals are available in the Klamath lab.
