Gianni teaches a lot of these elements in 3-D Scene Design Skills. Anne covers the model photographing elements briefly in 2-D. The soldiering portion of 3-D really helped me out with clean looking inorganic elements (primarily made out of metal). It's like Susan says, if it's made out of ____, then make your model out of _____.

Interesting seminar. Wish I could go.

this sounds very exciting. however, it seems as though technology could advance model making as well. in the school of architecture they have 3D printers that carve and cut, much like a cnc router. i think theatre designers should manipulate this technology to make more advances in model making.
