Geometric Theory & Fixed Graphics Pipeline!

Aim: Investigate key parts of 3D Modelling theory and application.

Objectives for the day:
*Complete the matching activity.
*Consider the term ‘Geometric Theory’.
*Write a one sentence description for ‘Geometric Theory’.
*Investigate different sections of Geometric Theory.
*Consider criteria for A1T2.
*Think about suitable evidence examples.
*Begin U41A1T2.

Hello.

Over the weekend, I have planned out my upcoming schedules for the week and restarted Chinese school. I also completed U41_A1T1 to be ahead and make use of my study time.

Then coming in this morning, we first had a Photoshop activity where we we had to match terminologies against images. These words were related to geometric theory which we worked on later. I enjoyed this because it was a good way to be aware of what we will learn.

Adam then went back to the criteria and re-emphasised what we need to do in order to achieve it. After we made notes on all the terms in geometric theory, we all had to write its definition in one sentence in our own words. This was challenging but got me thinking. Later onwards, Adam printed a few examples and we discussed as a class which is good and relevant. 

I learnt a lot about geometric theory, from its differences between two similar keywords to what new words are, such as the difference between face and surface and what vertex primitives etc are. My strength for today has been able to focus clearly on what we need to do. As a result, I got through a lot of U41_A1T2. After lunch, we also had an hour to catch up on outstanding work and this has been beneficial, though my weakness would be slight distractions.

Adam also explained another section of the second task which is all about Fixed Graphics Pipeline. Everything is all new and the topic of modelling is so interesting that I was able to understand it quickly, this is also because a lot of words were recognised. 

An inspiration today has been the Internet - a bit bland I know. But thanks to great research and websites, I have been able to get quality information and add it to my bibliography. As a reflection, I believe I am one of the few to have achieved quite a bit. I will work through Tuesday and Wednesday on outstanding work, outstanding Scheme of Assessments to fill in and further my art for my portfolio.
