3D printing PInterest

Today we started a new project in class all about 3D printing. We had to sketch ideas on paper and take up two pages. (I'll upload that picture later.) Then we had to create a Pinterest account (I all ready have one!) and create a new board with ideas for our projects (this is my board). We had to have a minimum of 20 pins, but in all honesty, because I love Pinterest so much, i will be adding more pins. I want my idea to be something functional that i can wear or use or out around my house (like a lamp shade type thing) instead of being something sitting in a corner collecting dust.

Dang Sphere Shadow

Once again in class we worked on our sphere. I had to ask for a lot of help and I still as confused as ever, but somethings are coming into light. But the shadow is still buffing me but at least i have the gradient down. If I could just get the shadow that will make me very happy.

Sphere Day 2

Once again in class we continued working on our photo realistic shadow. I just made a couple of small adjustments in the color layer, added a background color, and tried with the shadow and the ambient shadow. These two shadows took me most of the class and this was the happiest I have been with these two shadows. I need to look on the website to see what else i still have to do but I think I am coming to a close on this sphere.

Sphere

Going off of what we did last class we had to now paint a photo realistic sphere which was harder than doing the rectangular blending from last time. We had to set up many layers and use the paint tool and eraser tool for this. I asked some questions and realized i need to ask more because this is super hard and confusing at some points.

Blending Black to White

Today in class we had to do some technical stuff with blending from black to white. We mainly used this to get us prepared for paint in photoshop. It was really hard to get the blending started but it was easy once I got use to it. I think I got this skill down for lack of better words but ya. I think it turned out okay.

Mickey Running Gif

This is a super exciting day for me. Why? BECAUSE I GOT THIS GIF WORKING! I finished cutting out my Mickey and then with some playing around and some research I got Mickey running! I am really excited for this because it took me a long time to cut it out and I wasn't so sure on how the animation part was going to work out. But it did work out and i am so happy it did!!

Mickey Running

We started a new project in class today and it looks pretty cool. We have to make a moving/animated gif from a template. The catch- we have to do it by ourselves with no instruction. I am pretty scared about that but there are some websites that i can look at to help me. I just need to finish cutting out the background and then figure out and play around with how to make these 8 pictures animated in Photoshop.
