Week 4 Tasks (To be completed during Studio)

• In consultation with your tutor, choose one of your two developed schemes to take to a high level of resolution for the first Assignment.

• Got to http://www.buildar.co.nz/ to get the BuildAR application, and watch the tutorials. There is a Free Version, which has limited functionality, but will suit your purposes, or there is a Freed Demo of the Pro version, which has some extra features, but is "save" disabled. I suggest the Free Version to start with, but you may like to also try the Demo Pro version fro the added extras.
  

• Play around with 3Ds Max, Sketchup and BuildAR trialing a few different .3ds or .ive models, sections, tranparent, wireframe, animated, etc. considering the best way to display your work in a mixed reality situation.
  

• Capture a minimum of 3 well considered and well framed images of you holding your Augmented Reality models of your chosen habitat (Print Screen, and crop in photoshop) to post to your blog. The three images should show 3 different scales of your model, such as an environment scale (whole site), building scale (standing in your environment looking at main structures) and detail scale (looking close up at interesting aspects of your model).

• Using Google Earth, locate your chosen "Site", and visit the area that you will displaying your model in, thinking about site constraints and opportunities. As you develop your chosen habitat, you will have to think how you are going to display your models in your area.

• You may want to measure up your area, and create a rough site model to work with, and decide on defined boundaries with the students in the sites next to yours
  

• Discuss with your tutor an architect that you are interested in studying, which will be the basis of your research into visual styling for you rposter design.
