Summit Workshop

Summit Workshop turned out be a great success!

I have attended both sections, Saturday and Sunday, in Mac lab.

Although there were some issues on lagging during the tutorial, it was manageable to get my job done. To teach faculties about what I have learned so far in this class was fun and exciting.

Thank you for the semester!

Google Sketch: Creating a space orbiter

Hi, Everyone!

For this week, I have created a space shuttle orbiter based on 10 training tutorials and what I have learned so far. This space shuttle orbiter is featured with windows, booster, rounded front and wings with colors.I would like you to enjoy learning how I created this space shuttle orbiter which starts from the bottom. On the older posters, there are posts about the tutorial.

This is an Immersive Education course at Boston College (http://immersiveeducation.org)

The program can be downloaded for free at (http://google.sketch.com)

Step 7: the space shuttle orbiter was placed in the middle of universe.

The universe picture was imported and lined with "matching photo".

Step 6: Windows were painted into blue and other parts in grey and black.

Step 5: The edges were painted using "paint bucket". It was colored in black.

Step 4: windows and the edge of wings are created.

Step 3: Boosters were created by using "pull" tool at the end of the cylinder.

Step 2: A triangle was created to intersect the mid point of the cylinder.

Step 1: A cylinder was created and using offset tool, I made a front of a space shuttle.

This view is from the side and up.

Using the skills obtained during the tutorial, I could build a space shuttle orbiter that looks nice. The space shuttle was created as I looked up the photos provided. Although it does not exactly match a real space shuttle, it was fun to create such an object.

Google Sketch Tutorial #7

This tutorial was about importing an image and using a matching photo.

When the photo is imported, it could be set as a background using a matching photo tool.

Then, the shapes could be created along the lines in the picture.

Google Sketch Tutorial #6

Pulling out a surface of an object along the edges could be done by "offset" tool.

When the object is created, draw a line using offset tool. If I press 'option' key and move tool, I could pull it out.

Google Sketch Tutorial #5

Lining two object could be done easily.

There are a square and a rectangle.

If I want to connect those two, I could click the end point of a square and click the end of a rectangle. Then, as the lines are connected, a new surface between those two could be created.

Google Sketch Tutorial #4

This tutorial was about creating two object and cut one of it.

It could be done as I intersect two objects; a hexagonal and a cylinder.

When I intersected a cylinder, an edge of a hexagon could be cut along the intersected line.

Google Sketch Tutorial #3

When I created a box with four rectangular spaces, I could edit the entity info.

Then, through Window -> Layer, I could name one face as "front wall".

Front wall could be appear or disappear by clicking the switch button.
