Transition in the work force -This artefact was to explore the pre-production stages when working the architectural work force. I had a client who asked me to design a 3D model for them for one of their projects in 3D studio max and they wished to have a test model to be supplied with it as well for their presentation. I was later advised that they had personally created their own test model with the use of Google Sketchup as they have recently been advised by the company. Designing the product on 3D studio max easy and when I had presented the final model the client was happy and when I was presented with their Google Sketchup model it looked basic. Overall the client was able to present four different types of design styles by using blue print design, a test model design with the use of Google Sketchup, a rendered model using 3D studio max and their cardboard model which was their final design. From this artefact I was able to grasp an understanding of how the production stages of how an architectural firm would run, and noticed that though companies will hire out freelancers or 3D design firms to create their final designs for promotional offers they would rather have one of their own agents to create the test model on a simple 3D software like Google Sketchup to save on such things as costs. For my final artefact I will be interviewing two individuals to gain a deeper understanding of the architectural industry and why companies choose to use 3D models to present and promote their designs before being built. One participant will be from a 3D design company and another will be a lecturer of architectural interior design who teaches students the use of 3D software.
