DrawingIn first semester, I was introduced to a new type of assignment, a drawing assignment. At first I was confused, but only just now do I realize that you actually teased this to us in my freshman year when Mr. Gearhart came in and showed us how to do quick 5 minute sketches. At first, I thought that I did extremely poorly on the sketching assignments, as I had to use these tutorial books which I did not think were effective, but I did them anyways. Still, my drawings, especially the hand sketch, turned out poorly, as I ended up just tracing my hand, which was real lazy and in retrospect I would have done better. But then when I got the go ahead to proceed with out the books, I was thrilled, and so I just started tackling them head on or watching a video. ModelingSo in modeling we began with a refresh of the skills we learned in freshman year, such as the splines, which I struggled with back then, I realized I had mastered them now, thus starting the year on a good note. Then we began to move into our first new objective, compound objects. I then got a love for the terrain compound object, which I used in great success for the Wild West scene. After compound objects, we moved into a less memorable, but equally important parametric modeling unit. I was able to use prior knowledge of chamfers, tapers, etc. to be able to complete the assignments and the big neighborhood project, which I love how it turned out. Later, we moved into simulations, in my opinion the toughest unit of the year, in which I struggled to complete the "Sleepy Sac of Nightmares" as I called it, before I finally completed it and MassFx to round out the year. To sum it up...
