What do the students do?:

As a school, the students (in Architecture classes) have mainly been creating various building projects ranging from hotels, homes and communities. While in the design process they commonly do preliminary renderings to get a feel for what they are designing. From renders they can see how daylight and internal light is being utilized, how to take advantage of views, and avoid possible poor locations for aspects of of the building. When it comes time for presentations, video walkthroughs and high quality renders are used to show off their final designs.

Introduction

This is my first blog and I am going to be posting my advancement with the ultimate goal of creating a render farm for the ACE Academy. So far I have been working with Autodesk, ZGF Architects, and Northwest IT Services to try and smooth over the planing of the setup. So far the planing stage has progressed to matching up potential components for the system and making sure the software will work. Step two will be to find a way to collect what we will need.
