Instructions

Review the Rubric to understand the important details that will be graded.

Use your completed Rendered Room file as the starting point for this exercise.

Follow the in class Demo to organize your Rendered Room Interior model using the following Layer AND Scenes Management

Save your file with a meaningful file name;

Attach your SKP file to this assignment. 

• Submit your file to be graded.

Good luck! 

• *Ceiling should be turned ON in every scene, except your Plan View.

**All Layers should be turned on in your home ISO scene.

• 

LAYER MANAGEMENT

• Prep = Open up the Layers Dialog Box.

DELETE all existing layers that came in with any furniture components you added to your model, and move those elements to the default tag, ‘Untagged.’

• Which list looks organized to you?

ADD the 6 layers below (and try to use only these layers!)

Ceiling

Furniture

People

Walls 

• Concept A (your walls AND anything else you are presenting as Concept A; floor, furniture, lighting)

Concept B (your walls AND anything else you are presenting as Concept A; floor, furniture, lighting)

GROUP all lose geometry

All lose geometry (edges and surfaces) belongs on layer 0/ untagged! …..then in a group

1. ASSIGN all groups to a Layer
2. Is your artwork part of the walls? Nope! Assign to your furniture and accessories.
3. Does the Floor belong on the furniture layer? Nope. Make it its own group and layer, or assign as part of one of your Concept layers (hardwood vs tile?).
4. CONFIRM everything was put into a Group AND assigned to a Layer by Toggling on/off LAYER VISIBILITY 
5. WHEN I GRADE YOUR FILE, I will be turning off every single layer to confirm every single object in your model is assigned to a layer you can turn on and off…. so get into the habit now of turning all your layers OFF to confirm all groups have been assigned to a layer.
6. SCENE MANAGEMENT
   Prep = Open up the Scenes dialog box AND the VIEW ToolbarADD at least these 15 scenes;PERSPECTIVE SCENES

Use the ‘X’ marks the spot to POSITION CAMERA in your room, and

LOOK AROUND to pick an *interior* view (do NOT show any glimpse of grass or sky outside of your room!)

1. Use the ZOOM tool to manually type and change your FIELD OF VIEW to 55 degrees 

FYI -so we feel like we are standing inside the room, the FOV should be above the SKP default 35 degrees, somewhere between 50-65 (typically) for an interior perspective,
