A Three Dimensional Modeller for Art and Design Education

Abstract

The original brief for this project was to explore the use of the micro computer for the teaching and promotion of three dimensional understanding in education. Initially it had been intended to adapt existing software, but it soon became apparent that there were no suitable packages for this work. Not only were there very few three dimensional modellers in existence which could meet the resources of education, but these were based on an ancestry of draughting and engineering, presenting often complex and unsympathetic environments for art and design users.
