Subject: Steam Locomotive Boiler Engine - assignment #1

Hi Maya 088 students,

    http://www.cs.uni.edu/~jacobson/maya/train/train090909.html

       is linked to from our class web page:

    http://www.cs.uni.edu/~jacobson/m/

    We covered quite a bit of the material today in class, but the next two 
classes will give you more in depth treatment of the Polygonal Modeling
assignment.

    Friday we are in StudioIT 2 lab, as usual.  ITT 136 every FRIDAY!

    The assignment is due one week from Friday, so we have 3 more class
meetings before it is due.

    Read over the assignment very carefully!  It REQUIRES certain changes
       from the textbook's material - mainly 36 polygonal cylinders for the
       bolts instead of 20 polygonal spheres for the bolts on each welding
       plate of the locomotive boiler engine.

    Read chapter four - Beginning Polygonal Modeling

    The two main examples in chapter four are:

             Putting the Tools to Use: Making a Simple Hand
             Modeling Complex Objects: The Classic Steam Locomotive

    Friday we are in StudioIT 2 lab, as usual.  ITT 136 every FRIDAY!

    Reminder: One week from today we have QUIZ ONE.
