High-end 3D modeling, computer graphics and apps. Are physical scale models in set design needed anymore?<\/p>\n
The answer is yes. Along other purposes, the tactile model is still the best hands-on tool for scenographer to provide a strong visual presentation of how the design will look like in its real size.<\/p>\n
The Scale Model Course, held at Aalto Studios atelier, introduces the scale model as a scenographer\u2019s tool for the artistic design and visualization process.<\/p>\n
The main focus in the course is in practical work.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe students will learn the basics of scale modeling by hands-on doing. Aalto Studios atelier is a fantastic facility for this kind of course. There\u2019s plenty of space for everyone to work and painting and sawing facilities in the next room\u201d, says the course teacher Sampo Pyh\u00e4l\u00e4<\/strong>.<\/p>\n Even though the students are mainly building the models by hand, the course includes 3D printing. Pyh\u00e4l\u00e4 fixed some old printers at Aalto Studios FabLab and brought them to the atelier. He reminds though that 3D modeling isn\u2019t replacing the physical modeling, rather they are complementary.<\/p>\n \u201c3D modelling works great for getting measurements for example, but doesn\u2019t allow expression the same way as a tactile model does. 3D printing is actually craft itself as it includes many stages that needs to be done by hand\u201d, he says.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" High-end 3D modeling, computer graphics and apps.
