week 1 - exercises

As we said last class, you all should practice the content at home before next lecture. This is the only way you'll fix some of the content and actually learn.

The idea is to take the last topic we worked on, Sequential Transformations, and try to work on the scripts to generate different results. The simple change of parameters and variable values should get you started. Here are some ideas:
  • Include transformations on the Z axis (how to make a cube out of cubes? try adding another nested loop!)
  • Change other attributes, such as rotation and scaling in different ratios
  • Include randomness or overlapping in the repetitions
The possibilites are very vast. And remember to always save the results and your scripts so we all can take a look at them next class. Also, we can make them available in the codes page, so others can have access to them.
