Project 2: Reverse Engineered Object (Week 4: Axo Drawing & Presentation)

Assignment: BLOG POST: REVERSE ENGINEERED OBJECT: Axonometric Drawing & Presentation Format

Assigned: February 26, 2024

Due: Sunday, March 3 @ 11:59pm (Midnight!)



Deliverables: 
One blog post including: 
  • 2-3 updated up-close HQ renders of object exploded and together
  • 2 annotated axonometric drawings (jpeg/ong, and odf)
  • one slide presentation of project overview including high quality, well-lit photograph of the object

Assignment Description:

Give your audience a 'how to' manual for putting the object back together!

After completing the high quality renders, we will create diagrammatic axonometric drawings of our objects. As well as put together one slide presentation showcasing the entire project, each week should be equal to one slide in the presentation. Please link the slides on a blog post. You may also take the opportunity this week to continue any revisions of your 3D models and high quality renders for the final presentation.

Assignment Requirements:

DIAGRAM/ DRAWING

1.) Create a new viewport using parallel axo view.

2.) Arrange your exploded objects such that they are all evenly distributed in axonometric, parallel view. From here begin to label your drawing as explained to someone putting it back together.

  • Add dash lines for where the objects meet (the direction of the screws) - think IKEA manuals.
  • Add measurements
  • Include annotations (labels and dimensions) for either symbols in your legend, or on the drawing itself

3). Use the make 2D command to extract exploded isometric view drawings of your objects and their annotations. Use the layers to help you separate line weights, OR option to use technical viewport and 'capture to file'.

4.) Create a new layout with A2 dimensions (420 x 594 mm). Your choice to use landscape or portrait. Here you can create your legend, labels, title, add your name, and give a small description of the item/project.

5.) Print your drawing in jpeg or png and pdf to compare. Upload both on a blog post

RENDERS

Extract at least two new renders using the following tutorial with updated lighting, materials and environment.

PRESENTATION

6.) Brand your story! Put together a slide presentation telling the story of your entire project. No screenshots, or process details in here. Think pitching this as a sales item or for a user to disassemble and reassemble. Include at least one high quality photograph of the object together, and one dismantled, 1-2 HQ renders of your object, and 1 axonometric assembly with annotated instructions. Be consistent with fonts, sizing and legibility across your presentation, and remember: every colour has a purpose! Look up inspiration and find an aesthetic that works for you.

6.) Create a new blog post and include every slide from your presentation. See this blog post as a final presentation of your project! Think about the storytelling aspect if someone was to open your post or presentation without any context to your project. How would they understand your purpose?
