Week 5 went pretty well. Things have been a bit crazy personal life-wise, but overall it's going good. Week 5 was mid-terms. The only class I had an actual mid-term in was 3D Animation - more about that in a minute.
Intro to Business is going well. There is one chick in that class that I have an issue with, but she's fairly stupid so - nothing to worry about. Woe be it to her if we ever meet face-to-face and she tries any of this trifling shit on me, however. I'm getting 100%'s on my assignments and discussions and quizzes and my A is firm in that class - yay!
E-Commerce: things here are going well too. Again, 100%'s and a good, solid A. It's deadly dull, but some of the discussions are nice and someone in one of my real-life classes is in there, so it's nice to know someone else.
Drawing Design and Art Theory: very much the Typography of this quarter. Ugh. As you can see from my earlier entry, my drawing skillz are not so great. I'm working on it, however. This class I really need to put forth some more effort in. I don't know what my grade is, but I don't think it's good. I don't have the guts to ask the instructor. I'm going to make a good, concentrated effort to perform better in this class for the rest of the quarter and really get my grade up as high as I can. This class, I admit, I haven't been doing my best, hardest work in - I'm going to remedy that.
3D Animation - got an A+ on my mid-term and I'm one of the people the other students ask for help and stuff. It's pretty damn cool. Again, good solid A in this class and it's my favorite this quarter. I love watching these things come into being. Right now we're still focusing on the different tools of model building, but will be moving forward into animation soon. I'm excited! And construction is already underway on the final project. Should be pretty cool.
Okay, as I said above, we've been working on modeling items and using modifiers to modify shapes and objects. So....one of our first assignments was to modify some objects using 3 modifiers on each and place them in a scene. I introduce, my futuristic highway, complete with car, tree, volcano, park and buildings:
My submission for our Spline Project: a cup, a lamp, a chess piece (yes it's a chess piece!), a bolt, a wine bottle, a nameplate, and a table:
My submission for the Logo Project - which is pretty much exactly what it sounds like - superimposing/incorporating text and a tagline onto objects:
Our latest Week 5 Skillz Test, which was a waving flag using NURBS, a screwdriver, and a chair with lathed legs:
My practical Mid-Term assignment, which was to create a traffic cone, a mailbox, a table with funky legs, and a spaceship:
And finally, our last project, which is half-done. We've started in on boolean and compound objects. I have a pillar and mallet here - I have to complete the claw-foot hammer and dagger still.
So....that's what's going on in the world of Introduction to 3D Arts & Animation. This is the way we learn! Do you feel educated now? Good! :)
As always, more to come later. Until then....PEACE!
