Last Blog (#10 for Week 11)...

Use this time to make up any or all of the blogs you may have missed. Remember that the blogs as a whole count as 20% of your final grade.

If you have kept up with all the blogs (Jamie), then you are done and only need to worry about finishing your final project.

Thanks for an interesting class,

Off you go.

Blog # 9 for Week 10...

Choose a topic concerning lighting that particularly interests you and post a blog about it. Come to class prepared to discuss it. Everyone should preview what each other posts, so that they can read up on the topics and have intelligent discourse.

Thanks, Off you go.

P.S. Going back and commenting on blogs you missed would be a good way to get back some of that 20%.

Blog # 8 for Week 9...

Lighting Calculations.

In your Winchip text or in texts from the Ai library or from the Internet, etc. do some research on lighting calculations and post your discoveries on the blog. Ashley Bell is doing some research into the particulars of lighting for the NCIDQ and we will compare this information when we receive it.
