LESSON

Goals and Prerequisites

Goals:

Students learn how to use photography and free 3D modeling software from Autodesk to create a 3D digital model of their own head or any simple objects at home. Students can take their 3D model further by creating a 2D architectural drawing, just like the drawings that CyArk created for Mount Rushmore. The tutorial document should be opened in Adobe Reader, which can be downloaded for free here.

Prerequisites:

Familiarity navigating new software programs

Instructional Objective(s)

Utilize Autodesk to create 3D digital models and 2D architectural drawings of ordinary objects.

Instructional Resources

Background:
