So here it is, a Bridge.
Its on some new modeling tools and modifiers.

Assignment 3
Hi all,
This is the third assignment. I'm uploading 3 images of lab apparatus. You have to model it. The various angles are provided in the same image to help you further. Hint: They can be used as background image for getting the accuracy in modelling. You can cut the images as per your requirements. The assignment motivation:
Search for relevant images on the net for any doubts.
Submission deadline: 3 days (Monday night at 10pm)
All the best.

Hint: They can be used as background image for getting the accuracy in modelling. You can cut the images as per your requirements. The assignment motivation:
- Precision in modelling
- Exactness of the materials and textures (the numbering and scale printed on the flasks is optional, but you can try to get it)
- Correct lighting
- YOU DO NOT HAVE TO CREATE LIQUID IN THE FLASKS.
Search for relevant images on the net for any doubts.
Submission deadline: 3 days (Monday night at 10pm)
All the best.

Assignment 2 (evaluation )
Okay glad to see so many of you submitting your assignments..
here is the feedback ..
Ashyay : Model is not set to "Set Smooth" . No titles to the render images. Texture not mapped propery , try sphere instead of cylinder in map to option of textures.
Chirag : Lighting is good. Colors are OK. The bonds r made to be hollow. We need solid bonds.
Karthik: Change the center of the whole setup when rotating so rotation is uniform. Work more on material.
Mandar : the bonds are too thick. Make them thinner. Improve on materials and lighting. Lazy modelling , the bonds are not symmetrical and do not seem to be originatin from the center of the atoms.
Nitin : Good job. better render shots and camera angles.
Prajakta : the bonds are too thin , need to work on lighting and materials. Overall ok..not bad at all.
Shruti: Fantastic Materials. Goodwork.
Supriya : Unneccessary subdivisions in the models. Way too many vertices used for sphere and unneccessary render levels. Try making the model lighter with less subdivisions and less sub subsurf levels. Not a bad effort.
Vineet : Good Job. follow guidelines , name your rendered images , color code atoms etc.
Overall everybody failed to follow the guidelines.. Always name your files properly also make sure the atoms are color coded and there is a legend provided.
Goodwork guys , another assignment will be put up soon by SIR ..keep checking this space. Also one can click on "follow blog" link on the top left of the page.

Glass lighting..continued!
I then removed the bowl, and worked with the glass and the cubes...Here are some more samples:

Some examples of lighting the 'Glass' objects
After the workshop was over I was trying some lighting options, and I chose glass bowl with ice cubes as my topic. Here are some examples...from the trials to the finals!

Next Assignment
This is the second assignment. Your performance in this assignment is again going to be used as a judging factor for your eligibility to attend the advanced course.
The assignment is to model any THREE molecules of your choice. You can easily find images on the net which can be used as a reference for designing the molecule. You must maintain its chemical structure, ie if its tetrahedral you must make the same.
We want all the molecules to be unique. So once you have decided on the molecules you are going to model, you must comment on this blog entry and let everyone know the ones you have selected so that two people do not make the same molecule. I repeat, it is very important you first post which molecules you are going to model and then start modelling!
The complexity of the molecule that you choose to model will earn you some extra brownie points, more complex the molecule, better the chances of you being eligible to attend the workshop. But guys do not loose focus and try not modelling molecules that are way to complex and you won't be able to model them correctly hence making the whole process of modelling it redundant as it cannot be used later.
If someone chooses to actually go ahead and make an animation of a chemical reaction using these molecules, nothing like it, but modelling the three molecules accurately must be given top priority.
Some important points- do not make the bonds and the atoms a single object, as later on when we are going to use them to show animated reactions, it might become a stumbling block. Also materials may be used to show atoms of two different elements. At least colour coding must be done to signify two different atoms. If not this then try putting text on them. What method you choose is up to you as long as two atoms can be distinguished.
I am uploading a rendered image of a molecule I had modelled some time back. Notice how the tetrahedron structure has been maintained, ie 60 degrees between the 4 bonds. For guys who arn't quite fluent with chemical terms, the spheres are the atoms and the cylinders are the bonds. The whole thing is a molecule.
Hope this helps. Alright guys thats about it. You have two days time to submit this, i.e. Wednesday midnight. Blend files and rendered images to be mailed to:
catchgokul@gmail.com
You can CC it to Sameer sir also if you like. Best of luck with this, and get modelling!!
