My model of the George Street Building

For the Cactus model, It will mostly be 'subtracting' objects from the building mass. To do the I will use the 'extrusion cut' feature. The shapes to be 'cut' from the building tend be predominently cubic. It appears that there are many extrustion elements in the model where and extrusion will occur from a surface that has been previously cut. I want to add my own style to it if this is acceptable, and try to create some organic features, so it maybe be different to the original and because of this it will maybe less accurate. The organic surfaces will be difficult because it seems that solidworks tends to work best with cubic shapes.

Tutorial 1: "Lesson 1 - Parts"

In making the tutorial and George Street building models. One thing that stood out to me was the order of Solid works: first select a face or plane, then select the feature and then the drawing tool such as the rectangle tool to draw a box on the chosen surface.

Tutorial 2: "Lofts"

The use of planes, was very different to other softwares. This feature is very practical and logical and why I think it is easier software to pick up. In that it is logical to select the ‘top plane’ we you want to start drawing from the ground up.

Tutorial 3: "Revolves and Sweeps"

Navigating through the interface was frustrating at first, but interesting in that it tends to hide toolbars when they are not in use. I learnt to set up the toolbar by clicking on the toolbar tab before each tutorial which meant I could understand better what was happening.

EXP1: FINAL FOUND MACHINIMA

I think my Found Machinima also supports my hypothesis. It is visually more discrete than my Custom Machinima. In this video it shows a series of short film clip explosions, showing the Domino Effect as the sequence being first the; ignition of fire, then a force causing the objects to push, pull (lift) then the explosion ceases (the fall), leaving the objects in different positions to there original placement and total deconstruction.
