11-20-15

I didn't do much today (11-20-25) because I was at the IB Induction ceremony. I tried to work on the lighting, but something weird happened and I got really confused and wanted to start over. (When I tried to render the object with the light, it wouldn't render it in the perspective of the camera) Also, I didn't like my shape that much...

Lighting

The lighting assignment is a tough one... I don't think I'm doing it right. I'll work on it later and see what I can do.

Working on the Project

Today I revised my MYP Personal Project Criteria. I didn't have to rewrite the whole thing, just revise. I also explored in mMaya a little bit. Sorry, today was uneventful.

Monochrome (Pig) Kiss

I'm not sure about the title of this post, I might change it... This is a model of the swine flu molecule and after playing around with the rendering for a while, I decided to make it monochrome. I might add to this post but class is ending and I have to go.

"Sparkling Juice" Glass

Today we used the EP curve to create a "sparkling juice" (wine) glass. I could have finished a lot earlier and had time to blog this during class had Maya not crashed... I suppose it's been a while since Maya crashed on me and I forgot that I needed to save periodically. That's quite an important lesson to learn I suppose. Anyway, here's the project:

What I Did Last Class (1-6-15)

I didn't get to blog last Friday; I had to leave early to escort some 8th graders to Ms. Wills's class. I got a little bit of work done on my new spaceship, but not as much as I would have liked. for the majority of the class, Jaylah and I let some of the 8th graders play around with Mudbox. I would have liked for one of them to want to explore Maya do that I could answer some of their questions and not feel completely worthless, but both of the kids were more interested in Mudbox... At the very end of class, we made glass sculptures with EP curves, which was really cool. Here's the one I made:

Booleans: The Sequel

Here's the other booleans assignment. I know that this isn't perfect, but I don't have time to fix the geometry and bevel it. Hopefully, I will fix that soon. I have yet to finish yesterday's assignment and finish my new spaceship.
