Hey All,
I uploaded the cultural pride analysis into the the Pre-Final Deliverables folder.  Please take a second or two to look and give me feedback so I can make any changes in time

Traces of T[R]D!

Remember this, Tess and Paul? Dan and I found one at the BAC last week! It lives on!

ALSO, I hope everyone has been pushing forward this week. We didn't get any mid-week updates on your progress but we expect to see A LOT of exciting progress tonight. Keep on keeping on, y'all! We're almost done!!

See you tonight, Aviva

V-Ray Help

The lines on my latticework are thin and are rendering as dashed lines in some places, does anyone know how to render these as solid in V-ray?

My output size is 2048x1536

Rhino workshop

I saw this at school and thought I would share.   The school will have a free Rhino workshop on Friday April 27 from 6-9.  

"In this workshop, we will create a massing with a custom facade and represent it with a perspective section and a rendering"

RSVP to workshops@the-bac.edu

I am a noob when it comes to Rhino and D/iva's work session last week was very helpful.   I think this workshop will help me get a firmer grasp of the program, capabilities, tools, and representation.

Drinks at Otherside immediately following.

Reminder!

Hi all!

Just wanted to remind everyone to send us stuff on Wednesday, so we can be updated on your progress and give you some feedback. For those of you that we've required to send work (you know who you are), you have to. :) We want to make sure you're on track and pushing forward!!

Also, Dan and I are working on the deliverables, we will send you something this week! Keep your eyes peeled for a Doodle email for the scheduling of our final review. Please respond to it ASAP so we can secure a room to hold it in!

Thanks!! Aviva

Great Job everyone!

And just attaching some inspiration imagery to keep your juices flowing (from The Architectural League of NY)! Check out that beauty. The end of the semester, Kyle, this will be all you. :)

GSD Photos

So far, I only see Christine and Tess' photos and annotations of the GSD exhibition. Thank you guys! Everyone else, please upload it to the blog! Thanks!

The underground of Boston

Hey guys, I don't know if you remember me telling you, but I went out for breakfast one Saturday morning earlier in the semester at the friendly toast. I got lost trying to find the bathroom down in their basement and happened upon this door. Don't know if it's the same Think Tank, but I thought it was funny anyways.

Rhino help!

I'm trying to map these hexagons to a surface like the one shown in the screenshot.  Anyone know how to do this? All the online tutorials seem to be about grasshoper......
