COMPUTER MODELING

Notes on Modeling and Animation Procedure

Drawings and descriptions were used to create floor plans, sections and elevations in VectorWorks (MiniCAD). These drawings were imported into Strata 3D Pro (StrataStudioPro) and converted into three-dimensional computer models. The 3D models were animated and saved as QuickTime movies. The Sabbattini thunder animation was created with MacroMedia Director.
