22.01 digital relief

Use form•Z to begin digitally “modeling” the first physical (analog) relief model. Your revised and layered encoding file (saved as Illustrator 8) is the basis for this model. Construct the formZ model according to the actual height and thickness measurements of the physical relief.

Many of the forms of the physical models are somewhat idiosyncratic, thus requiring each student to discover and share techniques for constructing these forms. Start with the primary forms and structure of the relief, working your way toward constructing the more complex forms. The model has to be entirely solid modeling, not just surface modeling.

Be prepared to show the progress of the model on your computer screen.
