Computer Aided Design II

This course focuses on intermediate principles and techniques for the design, visualization and presentation of product designs such as consumer products, environments, and furniture amongst others.
Building on the content and assignments from the DR2005 Computer Aided Design I course, you will go through a series of assignments with increasing complexity and variety to bring your modeling and presentation skills to an intermediate level.

Advanced Surface Modeling:
Intermediate level three-dimensional NURBS (Non-Uniform Rational B-Spline) surface modeling, with emphasis on curve and surface continuity.

Sub-division Modeling:
Introduction to Sub-division modeling principles and techniques.

Animation:
Introduction to keyframe animation of three-dimensional computer models.

Parametric Modeling workflow and documentation:
Introduction to integrated workflow for associative parts, assembly and drawings creation using parametric modeling programs.

Class assignments:
You will produce a series of increasingly complex assignments and develop your understanding of intermediate and advanced computer-aided design principles and techniques, through lectures, tutorials, class exercises and peer/instructor feedback sessions.
