LC2011 (Design and communication graphics) - do NOT post images of exam material

mc_teo

I wish I had found this thread sooner, could of saved me a lot of trouble.

Did everyone else like stick to their first satnav closely. I tried to maintain as much accuracy as I could (using a vernier calipers for the measurements).

What did yous use to render your photorealistics? I made a custom texture and bump-map for my part B, but only took a few photorealistics of it, then used some standard one to ensure combatibility.

Did any of your add any animation to your? Probably no marks going for it, but I added some animations to the Part B.

I was lucky that some of my best friends, (about 5 in class) are very good at the Solidworks. Our teacher said he's going to look into getting us some certification for proficiency in it, for CV if nothing else. Ill attach some of my photorealistics below. They are high enough resolution so Ill save your bandwidth and have them as attachments. I don't have the ones that I included in my project, so these ones will have to do.

I have some of my concept if anyone wants a gawk?


EDIT: also, hi Sharleen, i think we might have a mutual friend called Robert? do we?

Did nothing in 5th year and spent every class this year on the project, this not good news for us then?

That is very very bad, we've yet to start part C but I think we've done almost everything from part A and B, are you sure you haven't done anything???

I've been revising for the last few days, getting annoyed with Interpenetration though. I understand it all but it just takes so long...

RHunce

Holy sh!t ye have nothing done? Don't expect to cover a two year course in 4 months :O

We've everything covered now. So the next four months is just revision, we got very lucky with our teacher though, he's very good. We'd never tell him that though :pac:

You need to know the oblique plane inside out for part a and b, traces, line of intersection, cut solids. Pupils have rarely attemped and when attempted have made an utter bags of that question the past few years and it will stay on the paper until pupils learn it or more to the point teachers start teaching it. Oblique plane, Conic Sections, Perspective and Axonometric Projections, Interpenetration of surfaces . see link

Ian K,

That's seriously worrying, can you get your hands on a notes book or somebody's folder from a previous year? You really need to get started now, there's a lot of stuff to do!

ride-the-spiral

Got mine on thursday, bit apprehensive, I've been doing questions over the last while. I hope to get an A on the parts we've done.

@Cookier

I really like your idea. On what did you base it?

I'm going to take a wild stab in the dark and say:

The Birds Nest Stadium



and The Samuel Beckett Bridge?



So I suppose cookier based it on architecture or structures or something?

Did you not include these pictures in your output 7?

Does anyone know if we will actually be able to see what we got in these projects????

enaeknala1

This was my new concept lads, the back is a solar panel, anti slip grip thing etc...

If you go to review your papers/project after the results you can view what marks you got for each output

Is there any way of getting projects back once they've been marked?
From what I hear we don't get them back.

No, you won't get back. So unless you kept a copy...

How did you all find your mocks?

Very tough, but only had about two weeks of drawing this year for the exam (no drawing done since 5th Year). I got 54% (D1). Missed a couple of classes right before the mock as well with mock Art practicals. Hoping for an A1 in June... Now that I think of it I'm not so sure how likely that is! Expecting full marks for the project though. :pac:

ditto, hadnt any drawing done because of the project, only really started again two weeks before our mock exam. got a b2 so was pleased enough with that taking into account the lack of drawing. I'll be pushing for a high a1 hopefully.

How can you get the solutions for exam questions on the internet? examinations.ie only give a breakdown of the marking scheme. I want the final drawing

ride-the-spiral

Its at the end of the marking scheme, after all the written parts.
