Final Exam Merry Christmas and Have a Happy New Year

Today, I finished my final exam for this class. I had to make a christmas greeting card using some old projects such as, the couch, lego men, and the logging truck. I first, added the lego men and the couch. I colored one couch red and green and the other green and red. I shrunk down the lego men and had them sit on the couch. I then made the gifts from a cube and extruded certain areas and colored that green and the rest red. I then made the snowman out of spheres and colored them white. I then added the buttons, eyes, and mouth that are all black. I then added the carrot nose using a cone and coloring it orange. I then made the hat by using a disc and a cylinder, coloring them black and put it on top of the snowman. I then made the gifts bigger and put them on the logging truck. Then, I made the christmas tree using a cone and coloring it green and adding colored spheres as ornaments. I then added the star, adding a glowing white on top of the tree and put the smaller gifts around the tree. Then, I added two planes and put a picture of Santa Claus on one and the birth of Jesus on another one. Finally, I added text saying Merry Christmas on the right, Seasons Greetings on the left, and happy Holidays in the front, I then rendered it on global illumination and turned it in. Thank you guys, for being patient unfortunately, this is the last post that I will post this entire year. So please be patient and wait until next year please, I promise that I will post more completed projects in my senior year in Multimedia Production. And Have a Safe and Merry Christmas, and good bye until next year. Bye. 

Car Tire and Chair

This week, I completed this car tire and chair. Sorry for the wait, my teacher Mr. Clausen is not here, so I had to make these under a substitute. Anyways, here are my projects. The image at the very top, is the car tire. I had to first make a cylinder and add segments and make it the shape of a tire. I then edited it and and had the two faces selected. I then used extrude, extrude inner, and bevel to make the faces smooth and look like a tire. I tried to do the next step and make the tire treads, but the program was outdated, so I did not so the step, instead I just added a black color to it, added a floor and two lights, rendered it and turned it in. Instead, it is a lego car tire, because it is smooth and lego is the largest tire manufacturer in the world. The next project that I did, was the chair that I sit in class. I made the actual chair part first, by tracing the shape and using a bezeir spline and an extrude nurbs. Then, I added the hole cut out in the chair for ventilation by tracing it with a bezeir spline and using an extrude nurbs I then used a boole, to, to make the hole. I then gave it a red color. I then made the legs, by using cylinders. 2 at the bottom of the chair to support the legs. I then made the legs by also using cylinders, but instead, I added a bend at the top to curve them and angled the legs. I then added the feet by using cylinders. I shrunk down a cylinder, to make the pegs to hold the feet and made the shell for the foot, out of a cylinder, shrunk down and had the height shrunken too. I then deleted the bottom of the shell and finally, added the actual foot out of a cylinder that was shrunken in the height and made the the caps smooth and put it under the shell. Finally, I added a chrome to the legs, pins, and shell and colored the feet a plastic white. I only made half of the legs, so I added the other half using a symmetry. And added a floor, and a light, rendered it and turned it in. Tomorrow, I have to take my final exam. Thank you, so much for waiting and please be patient for future posts.

Grandfather clock

Today, I completed my grandfather clock. First, I made the body out of 2 cubes. I made the top part with a spline and used an extrude nurb. Then I made the main body out of a cube. I then traced the part for the stuff that makes the clock work go inside and used a boole to cut out part of the cube. I then made the clock face out of a cube and added a clock face texture. I then made the counterweights out of cylinders. I then made the hooks by making them with a spline and using an extrude nurbs and putting them on the cylinders. I then made the pendulum out of a cube and a disc and made the cube long enough. I then made the chain out of connecting tubes. And made chain for the chain for the counterweights to hang and extra chain behind to make the counterweights work. I then gave the body a black wood texture and painted all the inards a chrome yellow or a gold color. I then added a floor and painted the floor pink and added a light and rendered it. Thank you all for viewing my blog and being patient. I do not know what the next project that I will do, but I will start learning how to animate, because most of the people in my class cannot even handle building, so I will start animating tomorrow, bye.

ball bearings, pens, and robotphone

Sorry, about the wait, but here are the projects that I made two weeks ago before thanksgiving break. But here they are. First, are the ball bearings. I had to use cubes, a tapir, and an array to make the teeth. I then created the part where the ball bearings go around that are made out of tubes. Then I smoothed them out inside to allow the ball bearings fit. I then created the ball bearings out of spheres and used an array. I then made the other part for the ball bearings to go around. I then painted the ball bearings with chrome and painted the tubes and teeth a chrome black and finally added an array light. I then made the pens. I did not get much to work with, but a chart for the cooridinates for all the parts to go. The pen is made out of circles connected with loft nurbs. And the tip is made out of a capsule. I then painted the chrome part chrome and the grip black. I then gave each pen it's own chrome color of the rainbow and black and white. I then laid out planes the same size and added pen art and comic art to each one and added an array light. I finally made the robot phone. I used the old ipod that I made for the robot phone. I began by creating the dial buttons out of cubes and painted them black and added the numbers and symbols. I the created the arms and legs. The arms are made out of cubes and spheres as joints so I can animate it. I then made the legs out of cubes and spheres and the feet are shrunken down ipods. I then made the hands by using the lego man's body as the main part for the hand. And the fingers are the same as the arms and the thumb is a shrunken down arm. I then painted the cubes and body a chrome red and the spheres chrome. I then posed the figure looking like, it is about to fight and copied that one and rotated it to make the two of them look like they are about to fight. Thank you for waiting. I was going to post yesterday, but I had to finish the grandfather clock, but here it is, in the next blog post.
