Sadly all my process posts I posted earlier, and my laptop doesn't like downloading fusion, so I suppose this will have to do for a final post. Here is my doofy little monument hanging out at final critique! I didn't realize how big everyone else printed theirs until I put mine next to it. I kinda like how small it is. 

While passing it around, everyone else seemed to comment on how well the sculpting looked while it was scaled down that small. I'm glad the scale covered some of the larger hiccups I had while trying to scult in mesh mixer. I was especially afraid that some of the smaller limbs and the ears would be super fragile, but they hold very well. I have a feeling that it'll stay in place and be a very strange conversation piece on my desk for a long time.

3d Model Assignment 1 - Gatorade Bottle

   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fKbuTo7xH1c Blogger is a bit weird with the formatting of all this stuff, but let's hope it all works correctly. I think maybe the bottle was a bit too easy for a first project, but it was a good start to the medium and one that didn't fully stress me out. I think it came out pretty well.

3D Model Assignment 3 - Monument Recreation

      Thankfully, this strange little horse statue was the only thing I've printed all semester that didn't mess itself up at some point during the process. It's very strong, and the smaller details look much better on the actual printed version than in the 3d modeling program. I think that's probably because of the scale and material smoothing over my more obvious rough spots. The hooves printed very nicely, which makes the entire thing look that much funnier to me. I'm glad that I nixed some of my shoddier sculpted aspects to use the pre-modeled horse legs, ears, and human head. It almost looks like it could be an actual statue. Almost.    The purpose of my idea was mostly to take the power away from these controversial figures in history. So many of these monuments were made of confederate soldiers whose prime purpose was to rip the country apart to keep their slaves. As such, it's no wonder that seeing recreations of their image is uncomfortable

Hey. Well my name's Amy, I'm a digital media student, and I'm somewhat afraid of this class. I've never done anything in the way of 3d design, and my computer is a bit sucky, so I'm not sure how much of it it can even handle. Although despite that, I'm excited to find out just what the class is about and actually learn how to use these cool programs. I don't have a whole lot of hobbies outside of art and drawing, but I am decently interested in the concept of video game design. This school doesn't technically have that as a concentration, but I feel as though classes like this one are a logical lead in to the general area of game design.
