Lab 4: Modeling with Realistic Materials
Due: 11:00 AM, Wednesday, March 5, 2008


This lab involves two tasks. The first is due at the end of your lab meeting, while the second will continue through next week's lab meetings as we approach the first in-class exam.

A Marble

Before you leave your lab meeting, develop and submit a model of a marble. Come up with an appropriate material (or materials) for your marble and use it to create a spherical marble with diameter 100, centered at the origin.

Please make sure your name is included both in the name of the file you use and in the object names in your model. For example, if your name is Grace Hopper, you might name your marble object GHopperMarble and your model file GHopperMarble.scm.

Submit your model by e-mail to jteresco@mtholyoke.edu.

A Realistic Model

For this week and next, your task is to develop a realistic model. Use everything we have learned, in particular colors and materials, to develop an object or objects that looks as realistic as possible. Develop at least two new materials for use in your model. Be sure to place your object in an appropriate setting when your generate your final images.

Submit this part of the lab in the usual manner - upload your best images to your wiki page under a new section, and include a paragraph or two describing your model. Also, submit your model file by e-mail to jteresco@mtholyoke.edu.
