3d Design and 3d Printing

 
3d printing has been used by industry since the mid 1980's. It is used to print everything from food to guns to human tissue.

Our Makerbot 3D printers work through additive manufacturing. This is accomplished by laying down thin layers of plastic, one on top of the other, to build up a 3d structure.

3D models can be built in 3d software programs or captured with a 3d scanner or digital camera.

Getting your ATC set up for Augmented Reality

 

 

* How to split an image into 6 layers

Step 1 - Open your artist trading card in Photoshop. This will be your background in Artivive.

Step 2 - Duplicate the base layer to create a copy on a second layer. Use the 'eraser tool' and/or the selection tools to delete the aspects of the image that you don't want to see on that plane.

Step 3 - Repeat 'Step 2' until you have six total layers

Step 4 - Save your image as a PSD file

 

Your file can only contain seven layers in total. A background and six other layers.

Creating Artist Trading Card (ATC) in Photohsop.

 
1) create a new 2.5" x 3.5" document at 180 dpi (resolution) ---- File New

2) use "save as" to save the document 8 times as "temp-1.psd", "temp-2.psd", "temp-3.psd".....

3) find images on the internet and save them to your desktop. *Make sure to use the advanced search function to search for "Large" Images only

4) open your images in Photoshop and "Copy" and "Paste" them into your Template file. You should have 3 persons,places, and/or things, 1 texture and 1 layer of color.

5) move and alter your layers ----- Try "erasing", changing the "blend mode" of a layer, "selecting" and "deleting", using "adjustments" and "filters"

6) when finished save the file as a .PSD (These files will need to be "Flattened" to be saved as the final JPEG file.)

 

 

 

Timed trading card production

 You have 10 min to gather the following:

 

- 5 jpgs of landscapes

- 5 jpgs of textures

- 5 jpgs of objects

- 10 jpgs of people or animals 

- each group of images should be saved in a folder labeled with what it is.

 

- three 2.5 x 3.5" artist trading card templates saved as PSDs

Timed Creation

- you have 5 min for the first ATC

- you have 4 min for the second ATC

- you have 3 min for the third ATC

Get your Project 2 laser etched and finish Project 3, artist trading cards.

Assignment 3

ART116 Fall 2021

Artist Trading Cards

description:

For this project you will be creating 'Artist Trading Cards' also known as ATCs. The creation of ATCs by artist comes from a long history of artists trading small samples of their work with other artist or were sold to make a little extra cash. They were very popular with Impressionistic era artists. The cards are generally 2.5" x 3.5" big and are either unique or are created in small editions.

example links:

ATC Wike

ATC collection

 

whats due:

- 8 different Artist Trading Cards, 2.5" x 3.5" in size at 180dpi.

- Each card shows examples of your ability to manipulate images using Photoshop

- Each card should have a total of at least 5 layers. 3 layers of persons, places, and/or things, 1 texture layer and 1 layer of color.

- All your cards files need to be uploaded as flattened 'jpegs' to the Google class assignment album.

 

What should you do?

This is an open project. Be creative, express yourself. Find your style, create something retro-cool, urban chic, surreal abstraction, whatever, just create 8 images you are proud of.

 

 

First due date: Fri Nov 11th end of class

Your 8 images uploaded to the class Google Albums. Label your card files with your first and last name and a number.

Example - joevonstengel-1.jpg, joevonstengel-2.jpg. Save as JPEG file format.

 

Second due date: day of the final

Layout your artist trading cards as 8 ups. Print your two best cards 16 times each. Cut them out and sign them. Have them ready for the final

Day 7 Fri Nov 5th

 

More Biobots

The field of Biobots is relatively new and has a variety of ideologies from animal brains controlling robot bodies, animal bodies being connected to electronics and new lifeforms being designed with new technologies.

Photoshop Day 2

 

Image Resolution

Photoshop is a "bitmap" based image editor. This means images are broken down into tiny squares called pixels. These pixels are measured on the X and Y axis.

When we want to print an image we need to think about the images resolution. Resolution is described by how many pixel there are in one inch.

180 dpi - lowest printing resolution

300 - 600 dpi - professional printing resolution

Resizing images in Photoshop

* Situation: you are applying for a grant or show and the application states that images are required to be1920 pixels on the largest size.

? How can you find out the current size of you image?

? How can you change the size of your image?

Go to Image --- Image Size

From this window you can see the images current size in inches, pixels, mm, or cm. You change the size and/or resolution in this window. You can also lock the proportions to keep your images from looking distorted. 

Saving Files in Photoshop

File Types

PSD - Working File: specific uncompressed file type which contains all the images information

JPEG - Finished File: universal compressed file type

All files in Photoshop need to be "flattened" before they can be saved as a JPEG.

 

 

Useful Tools

• Move Tool

• Clone Stamp

• Colors

• Gradient

• Smudge Tool

• Type Tool

• Vector Tools

 

 

Selection Tools

- making a selection

- cut, copy, paste
