We will be having a Student Rep meeting at 4pm in the Forum space; if you have any questions or concerns let your student rep know about them before this time.

1. Divide the pages of your notebook in half. Draw a horizon line in the upper and lower halves. Use a single screen if using an iPhone, iPad or similar.

2. Draw a series of 6 two point perspectives exploring the space bounding opportunities that exist between three "H-Shaped" prisms in space. The proportions of the H-shaped prisms should be different in each of your 6 drawings. Use carefully hatched lines to highlight one set of surfaces that exist in parallel planes.

3. For each of the 6 drawings above draw 2 more two point perspectives. The supplementary perspectives will show the H-Shaped prisms and their relationships in space from a different point of view. Use carefully hatched lines to highlight one set of surfaces that exist in parallel planes.

4. Under each perspective drawing write a word that connects with your relationship to the prisms (e.g. above you, at eye level, below you) and also alludes to a relationship with power. Use the same set of words from week one.

5. While you a drawing your tutor will engage you in small group discussions regarding your news articles and design opportunities for bridging your valleys.

Note: throughout the class students will be constructing examples of these perspectives using Sketchup and importing them into CryENGINE3. Or demonstrating techniques for modifying the terrain in CryENGINE3.

Complete by the beginning of the next tutorial.

1.
Complete the animated tutorial below on how to create a moving entity in CryENGINE3. You can also find it on YouTube here: http://youtu.be/YVmVwSLy7NU

2. Upload 2 images to your blog that are taken from the first person point of view as you ride the elevator. Think carefully about how your perspective changes as you ride the elevator ... and try to capture that difference in your still images.

Note: make sure you save the CryENGINE3 environment as you go along as it will be a part of your EXP3 submission. Use v1, v2, v3 to denote successive versions (note: saving over the top of your files won't help you when the last one you saved becomes corrupt!).
