Study Notes
Product Representations
- Different ways to represent a product include sketches, 3D models, technical drawings, and photorealistic renderings.
Mental Model to Sketch Process
- Creating a product representation starts with a mental model.
- Steps include: defining goals, forming a mental representation, choosing the representation method, sketching, and validating.
Sketch Goals
- Sketches should clearly show the product's intended aspects.
- Consider the target audience when creating a sketch.
- Sketches can be for various purposes: concept, function, design, or support.
Projection Taxonomy
- Perspective Projection: Uses a view center, projection plane, and projectors.
- One-point perspective
- Two-point perspective
- Used in photorealistic rendering (e.g., architecture design).
- Parallel Projection: Uses a view direction, projection plane, and parallel projectors.
- Technical drawings often use parallel projection.
- Dimensions are measurable on the drawing.
- Elements with equal length have equal dimensions on the drawing, unlike perspective projections.
- Closer to eye perception
- Orthogonal Projection: A type of parallel projection.
- Further categorized as First Angle Projection and Third Angle Projection.
First Angle Projection
- Imagine viewing the object through the projection plane.
- Principal view is in the middle.
- Left of the principal view shows the object's right side, right of the principal view shows the object's left side (similarly for top and bottom views).
Third Angle Projection
- Imagine printing the object's backside onto the projection plane.
- Principal view is in the middle.
- Left of the principal view shows the actual left side of the object and right of the principal view shows the actual right side (similarly for top and bottom views).
Axonometric Projections
- Axonometric projections: have a vertical edge at the front.
Isometric Projection
- Isometric projection: ratio of all axes (a:b:c) = 1:1:1
- Angles (alpha & beta) = 30 degrees
Dimetric Projection
- Dimetric projection: (a:b:c) ratio = 1:1:0.5
- Angles (alpha & beta) are specific values (42° and 7° respectively).
Trimetric Projection
- Trimetric projection: (a:b:c) ratio is not fixed.
- Angles (alpha & beta) vary between 30° and 45°.
