Year 2 Final

This year I learned quite a lot about myself and my work. First of all I got to use different animation software, as well as learned more about photoshop. This is important because in order to know how a software works, you need to figure out how each part functions. This became somewhat difficult, as it started to become an overload of information.

When collaborating with others, we worked well together. We each got our own roles to fulfill, and had to do our parts. It got somewhat difficult to do, as I am generally, a quiet person.

Communication helped me this year, by explaining my problems to the teacher. It allowed me to find solutions to my problems. Getting to that point is a hassle though, because I will try to figure out what I did wrong on my own.

Project management was an issue for me this year. When working on some projects, I was really slow. It got to the point where I never finished it. So, I need to learn how to work faster.

Leadership was difficult for me this year. I often got so wrapped up in my problems, that I never took initiative and asked for help. I need to learn how to take initiative.

My greatest strength, would be my ability to pour my effort ant time into a project. My greatest weakness would  have to be my time management. I have gotten better at drawing since last year, and also shading. I would like to improve my skills in 3d animation though.

Im going to take what I have learned and make more improvements to it. In all honesty, I wish I could have done better this year. Im glad I learned what I did, and will move on with this new knowledge into next year.


Enjoy your retirement Mr. Olson!!!

pen

I made a pen in Maya for a school project. I first made a few cylinders and made them phongs. I then made a third cylinder handmade it a phong e. Lastly I made a cone and put it on top. Once I put it all together I made a plane and added lighting to make the resulting image.

Container project

Recently I was working on A project where I made a vase. What I did was use the curve tool to make an outline, and create a shape with it. I changed its bump-map and texture, and made a plane as well. Finally I set up the lighting and rendered an image, and got the result below.
