Group Presentation 4Remuneration:  (Group Name: Black)

Grade: P-

This week’s presentation is about remuneration, relating the compensation received by the employee, which is quite interesting topic. But after this presentation, I had to say this presentation disappoint me a bit.

 

 CLARITY OF THE ORAL PRESENTATION _

I think overall, I think this group prepare a lot of information for this presentation,

But they didn’t present it well during the presentation. Some of the group members

Just read out the information from the slides, which can’t help me understand the concept

Easily.

 

 

 

CLARITY OF THE WRITTEN PRESENTATION_

As I mentioned above, this group prepared too much information. Therefore, the font is very small in  the slides and I cannot read it properly. Also, there are too much text put in one slide and it makes me hard to understand where each part of the text should belong to.

 

 

DISTINCTIVENESS AND SPECIFICITY OF THE EXAMPLES_

I would say this presentation is not very impressive, but some examples is used to demonstrate the methods of compensation pay to the employee, which is good.

                                                                                                                                

 

REFERENCING _

Yes, referencing is used for the images.

 

THE CONCEPTUAL CONTEXT_

The conceptual context is overall a bit confusing for me. But some of the conceptual is successfully explained.

 

 

 

THE STILL IMAGES_

Not many pictures are used in this presentation; I would like to recommend them to put more images in their future presentation to enhance the ideas.

Group Presentation 4: Conflict (Group Name:)

Grade: CR

In this week, both of the group presents a very detailed presentation of conflicts.  I think both of the group delivers very clear theories of different conflicts that might encounter in the work.  In general, I think the first presentation is better than second one, but they both have pros and cons.

 

First, they both written very detailed in the presentation, but the second group have too many test in the slides and make me can’t not catch up with the slides while they are doing the presentation. And other than this, both of the groups used different images to convey their ideas which is very good, helps me to enhance the concept in a visual way. Also, both of the groups are used referencing below the images which is quite good. But I have noticed that in their presentation, they uses samples and ideas through other sources rather than create by their own. I think both of the group should reference the ideas as well, not only the images.

 

In terms of using examples, I think one of the groups did quite good, they also use their situation in emphasis how conflicts happen and how it can be solved.  They use of flowgraph and also their models to show us how each other’s work could not satisfy by the member within the group and this might happen.

week9

In this week, there are some problems encoutered when i export my wall sturcture to cryengine3. After i had fnished the model with the correct size, i tried to export it to crysis, but it fails. There might be two reasons cause this problem:

1. Too many polygons in my models
2.There is a surface  is not closed surface

 

 

 

 

 

                                               This is the wood stucutre had sucessfully export to cryengine

To solove this problem: I had tried to edit my model in 3DS max and end up finding the when it export it back to sketchup, it makes more polygons than before. So i redo the model again and finally success.



Also, i have start my 2nd part mission, i had 2 objective to achieve in this project:


1. Create a interface in cryengine3 and allow to show the Australian standard with different lanuage
2. Create a on-click event and also some interactive object in the sistuation Engine.

 

 

 

 Due to the busy modelling session this week, i just had start research and have a littly trial on my computer.

Group presentation3: Intellectual property (Group Name: Interactive architectural &Geriambiance)

 GRADES: C

In this week, my group and the other group both did the presentation on Intellectual property. I think both of the group did quite well to let the class know more about the  IP, to let them understand how to protect the mental fruit in a wise way.

 

In my group, I think we did quite success in passing the idea of different types of intellectual properties to the fellows.  First, I think we use a lot of real examples during the presentation, and each of them with an image to support our idea, such as the use of SANNA’s rabbit chair as an example of a registered design. And we also reference properly on the bottom of each images that we used.

But on the other hand, there is something that we didn't do well, we focus too much on explaining the types of the intellectual property, but we didn't mention too much on how to protect our project and link it back to the topic we chosen to study on.

 

Group: Geriambiance

I think overall that group did quite well, they also explain quite well and they also did the topic that we didn't mention in deep, so they have mention the issue about licensing and other stuff. Also, in their presentation, they have highlighted how IP can relate to their projects and how their project can be protect by different types of IP.

They have using referencing at the very last page of their presentation, but I saw quite lot of the referencing are just drop down website and it is not been reference properly.

And also one of the thing I think the group can improve in their next presentation. During the presentation, each of the person have in charge with around three topics to present, I think by the end of the presentation, it will be a huge amount of knowledge will give to the audience, but it might be hard for the audience to fully understand all of the concepts. Maybe next time each of them can choose a specific topic and explain them in deep, I think it might be easier for audience to understand the concept rather than just listening and resulting in knowning 80% of the presentation.

Group presentation2: Communication (Group Name: Shades of dark)

 

In today’s presentation, the group showed us information about communication in group work.  This presentation helped me to understand how the communication will affect the result of a project, with different communication methods; every group will have a different outcome.

First, the group have emphasis the oral presentation very clear and concise. At the beginning of the presentation, the group had showed us the information about responsibilities in the group, so leadership is the most important issue. One of the communication method is introduced, like a hirerachy management method, there will be a leader and others will be the team members. Each of the team members will allocate some work to do and when they finish it, they can communicate with the leader and see if the work is been correctly done.

 

Also, the group also showed us the communication method not only face to face to have a group meeting with the members but also share their work through the internet access. There are different types of internet access they use to work, such as facebook, dropbox and wiki for the internal communication. This make sure each of the team members know the progress of each person and they can edit the work immediately. For the external communication, they introduced to use a existing forum to communicate, such as youtube. The group post some video of their progression and allow their audience to know more about it from a visual effect rather than know it by reading the words on the paper.

 

After this, they also mention the longevity of this project. One of their point catches my attention, they said one of the risk of the project is something like copyright, since it is open access to everyone, it means there will be a chance that someone steal their work and use it. It also reminds me that it is important to protect our work when we are sharing the information to a public.  We need to secure our mental fruit as our priority.

 

Other comments:

There is couple of example shown during the presentation which deepen my understanding in communication both internally and externally. Each of the images is referenced.

Group Presentation 1: Planning (Group Name: 3RD Construct)

Grade: C

Assessment Criteria

 

CLARITY OF THE ORAL PRESENTATION_ Does the oral presentation communicate a clear, concise and appropriately delivered Group Theoretical Position?

 

Overall the presentation is quite clear, each of the member is been taken care of their topic, when different person take turn, we knew a new topic will start. And the use of PowerPoint slides to enhance their topic while talking makes me understand more of the concept.

 

 

CLARITY OF THE WRITTEN PRESENTATION_ Does the Written presentation communicate a clear, concise and appropriately delivered Group Theoretical Position?

The group is clearly define each of the key factors of planning, and as well as the steps of planning. I would say their written presentation is very well prepared, with a lot of information to explain. But due to the heavy amount of text on each of the slides, it kind of makes the audience confused and don't want to continue finish reading all the information that shown on the slide, maybe dot points format could be apply on their next presentation, to make the information more clear.

 

DISTINCTIVENESS AND SPECIFICITY OF THE EXAMPLES_ Are the examples used to elaborate the particular theme of collaboration distinctive and specific?

 

Examples are used during the presentation, and they are quite distinct. The thing  I like the most in this presentation is they show the example of their group, how the well plan for the whole assignment, even one of the member in the group is sick, other people in the group can still do some backup for him/her.

 

 

REFERENCING_ Are all sources of content properly referenced?

 

There is no referencing on each of the picture that they used. But the group said they put the reference on their wiki, but I still think it is a essential to put the reference on the PowerPoint that they show rather than in the wiki.

 

 

THE CONCEPTUAL CONTEXT_ Is it clear that the students have a strong grasp of the conceptual context of their theme of collaboration?

 

Yes, but as I mentioned above, the text on the slides should be reduced. This presentation will help me not only this course but also in the future, it teaches me how to allocate the work in your project,  there will always have a emergency situation that we cannot predict, it is essential that to make a plan B all the time. It also teaches me we should make a schedule at the very beginning of the work and strictly follow it to complete the corresponding part within a certain period of time, prevent from delaying the whole process of the work.

 

 

THE STILL IMAGE_ Do the still images support and extend our understanding of the Group Theoretical Position the students are presenting?

 

Yes,  their images are helping them to support their idea, such as the part that show the manage structure of the group.

WEEK6 PROGRESSION

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

week5

This week I start modeling the stud wall, I make about 80 percent of the structure, and then make the rest of them in 3ds max, and finally I will export it to crysisengine3.

I was not very clear about how to making the structure in Revit, so i decide to give up doing this in revit and trying to make the process easier through using AUTOCAD

For this week, i have start modelling the internal wall structure, but unsuccessfully, i didn't make this right, so the structure is not been construct right. I have tried to put it in 3DS MAX for editing, but it just not convient to work with, and due to the heavy amount of assignment need to due next week, i have just completed my first testing in modelling structure.

 

 

week4

Basicly this week is about researching and calculation. Because I am doing the internal wall frame for the second floor, so I start to search some related information and depends on the standard to make the wood structure.

 

 
 

 

So i have researched these imformation with Ashley Zheng in Australian Standard and BCA, Matthew had give a pdf file of the australian standard and then me and ashley selected the size of the beams and studs togeter

 

                        


So the size of the beams and stud are same with Ashley's, which are the ones below:

1684.2-2010_SUPPLEMENTS(IncA1)              size mmxmm
wall stud - page 15 table 7                45x90
top plates -        table15                45x90
bottom plates -     table 14               45x90
lintels -           table 17               45x90


And also the spacing between the beams are 450mm.



week3

For this week, my task is to make to contour and export it to crisis situation engine. Because I was mess up the units between the software, this task took me quite lot of time.

When I first time attempt to put the contour into crysisengine3, it was like a giant piece that I can’t fit it into the site.

So I have search this online and find out the solution, after a solve it, I start to redo it and successfully to get the right scale for the model.

This is the model that our group use for the project.

In order to get the right scale of model, I export the contour model in .dwg format, and export it as polymesh.



Export the model to AutoCad and adjust the model to the right scale.

  And again export it to 3ds max in order to export to model to sketchup

This is the final result that I came out, with the texture that with 1024*1024 size.

 

                                               This is the texture that I got it for the contour model, but it is too bright, so I adjust the brightness on sketchup

I have created a folder for my each week's work, make it more clear and easy to work with.




So i had go to youtube and see some tutorial about export revit to sketchup, but i think due to the sketchup verson is not the pro version, i was not be able to export it straight away for revit to Sketchup, i have to export it to Autocad first and then to sketchup.
The video below is kind of give me some hint about how to do it :
