Must all good things come to an end?

We are the best class EVER. I am so glad I was lucky enough to meet such a neat group of people and have the coolest professor in the world! I'm going to miss all the crazy and hilarious conversations we had. I have so many good memories from this class and I know there won't be another like it! I have learned so much more than I could have imagined and I hope to continue learning more. After finishing this course, I have come to the conclusion that digital media is just plain awesome!!

Second Life Project

After spending the rest of my Second Life $$ on uploading the face template, I was able to create a really creepy digital version of myself. I really enjoyed creating the avatar! The object I built is a giant glowing bow!! It was relatively easy to create though it took a few tries. My second self has awesome pink hair, a tail, the giant bow, a minnie mouse shirt, and SPARKLES!! Who doesn't love sparkles?

Project # 7.2: 3D

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                        

After hours of experimenting with Sketchup, I finally finished my 3D model. I was happy to find a bird shape in the warehouse (which I deleted everything on it so the base shape was the only thing left). With the help of a few tutorials, I was able to get as close as I could to the actual bird. I used circles for all the feathers and created the legs with the push/pull tool. Rotating and positioning the objects was so tedious! In the end, Sketchup decided to delete the model completely. Thankfully I took a few screenshots before  this mishap!
