1. Review a selection of students 'Electroliquid Aggregation' quotes:

“Why still speak of the real and the virtual, the material and immaterial? Here these categories are not in opposition, or in some metaphysical disagreement, but more in an electroliquid aggregation, enforcing each other, as in a two part adhesive.”

Lars Spuybroek, [1998] Motor Geometry, Architectural Design, Vol 68 No 5/6, p5

2. Review a selection of students posts that reflect on a slide from last weeks 'Black Box' lecture. Pay special attention to the relationship between the chosen slide and how it relates to a component of the students work. In this post check proper grammar and spelling.

3. In 6x6 squares draw a series of 36 custom textures that represent the entire range from dark to light.

Note: throughout the class pairs of students will be critiquing each others images from their Crysis Wars maps and discussing how the ramp is, or could, demonstrate a distinctive and significant approach to bringing the clients together.

1.
Apply a light, a medium and a dark texture to particularly significant rectangular prisms within your set of 9 (to do this you will have to reconstruct the chosen prisms as individual 'components' in SketchUp ... remembering that each component can have only one texture).

Note: Remember to set the 'component axes' of all components to the same point in SketchUp (do this when you create each component); this will greatly speed up realignment when in the Sandbox2 editor. In the Sandbox2 editor hit the 'select and move' button (number 1 on the keyboard) select your object then go Modify > Align/Snap > Align to Object ... then select the object you want to align the first object to. They will snap together perfectly.

2. Continue to develop the landform through to final resolution.

3. Use 'Fraps' to capture five images from your Crysis Wars environment and upload them to your blog. We should be able to see your custom textures in at least 3 of the images. Write short comments (36 words max!) under 3 of the images to indicate how they relate to your "ElectroLiquid Aggregation" quote.

4. Upload your Crysis Wars Levels and Objects folders to your FileFront (or similar) user page and provide a link to them from your blog.

5. Upload your final version of the 9 rectangular prisms to Google Warehouse and provide a link to it from your blog.
