The complicated/fluid form not necessary is good, but sometimes I found they are suitable for the conditions like NOX did water pavilion in early stage of blob architecture.
Anyone knows why maya is used extensively for modeling fluid form architecture?
by checking their tutorial, I found it could easily build fluid form like my sketch pencil. intuitive. But I guess this isn't all their strength. without using it, I don't really know what it is. Comments here?
Also, Maya can extend architects' design vocabulary, in the meantime, by mastering maya, one can improve his/her imagination on the architecture forms. Many people like me, never found a chance to put a fluid form into a real projects. By checking NOX early deisng like water pavilion, I found it is logical to put several ellipse form together to construct a wave-like environment for people to experience water. So fluid form have its own building and market, I want to prepare myself if the chances knock on my door.
besides, Maya can use its scripts MEL to build some building easily by changing its parameters. like this:
this is not "complicated" modeling, is more eye candy and probably don't even need to take a class for this, just watch the "youtube" tutorials on polygonal modeling in maya (and mental ray for the renderings), and the gnomon tutorials, should be enough if you want to do this.good luck

well, how about zaha's projects? What i want to have is mastering another tool for myself. just like you have additional weapon besides the bullets when you in the war.

any workshop/class to teach rhino or Maya to construct complicated form?
Hi all:
I wonder if there is any class teaching how to model the complicated form? like those we saw from eVolo skyscrapper competition?
I used Rhino somehow to model some form in the office, but not very fancy. Eager to expand into fluid form to rich my vocabulary.
Here is the one I wish I can built:

I am in Chicago by the way.
check out the digital modeling classes at SAIC.
check the rhino/mcneel website--they occasionally do training courses in various cities--http://www.rhino3d.com/training.htm
also, see the grasshopper website for similar workshops--http://www.grasshopper3d.com/
there is one by UIC. Will it be useful?

Share your opinions pls.
