Week 7, Day 1

Today I'll be 3D printing the inner skeleton parts for my project since I couldn't print them over spring break. As parts are being printed I'm making more on TinkerCad so that throughout the week I can print them. Also on purple days I will try to come to the classroom to print the parts.

Week 6, Day 2

Today I'm continuing the design process of the inner skeleton. Since spring break is next week I won't be able to 3D print until we get back so it's like an extra week of designing and measuring. TinkerCad has been such a great help for me to design parts so I look forward to using it more in the future for more of my models.

Week 6, Day 1

For today I am continuing the designing process of the inner skeleton parts of my figure. It's really simple when I use TinkerCad to make the parts. After I'm I can upload them to the 3D printer. I also recently learned how to use it so I'm really excited to use it more.

Week 5, Day 3

Today I will be fixing my blog's pictures for accurate representations of my work. I'm also working on the inner skeleton arm part in TinkerCad so that I can 3D print it in class when I'm ready and to also bring it home so I can work on it. I believe that this project will be awesome!

Week 5, Day 2

Today I will be looking at example connector parts on TinkerCad so that I can have a base on how I want them to be. I've 3D printed an the example so that I know how the original part is. The material used to 3D print the part is hard plastic so it'll work great with the figure.

Week 5, Day 1

This week I'll be work on the 3D modeling process of the inner skeleton for Ki-Droid 99. For the characterization process I will be using a combination of Maya and 3DS Max at home. I have in faith myself during this project making period. Also I've been working and studying the designs of connector parts in TinkerCad that would go great with my figure's design.

Week 4, Day 2

Today I will be learning about 3DS Max along side with the Autodesk program Maya. From what I know about 3DS Max is that its used for character creation like Maya. So I will be watching tutorials on how to use 3DS Max today. (Down below is the reference image, for my project, in Maya)

Week 4, Day 1

Today I will be learning on how to do 3D modeling with Maya instead of Blender. Maya seems like it'll be easier to use from what I've watched on certain YouTube tutorials. This week I will be learning how to make 3D models in Maya for my project. Also at home I've been making a more effiecient reference for Maya.

                                  

Week 3, Day 3

As I work on my project, I'll make sure to remember all the tips I learned to make 3D models. I've decided that for my project, with the help of Mr. Martin, that it'll be better to use Maya and 3DS Max for the 3D modeling process. As I look at these programs, both of them need reference images in order for me to make my model. So I have those prepared and ready to go.

Week 3, Day 2

Today I will be continuing my video watching process. I have a model (down below) of something I created in Blender for practice. Throughout this whole week, I will continue watching videos so I can be better. Also I've been working with a phone scanner to scan my pictures for the design.

Week 3, Day 1

Today I'll be watching and working with video tutorials on how to use Blender. In order for me to make a 3D model of my project I need to use Blender so that I can make more detailed features to my figure. Hopefully, the info I learn will for my project will be very beneficail to future projects.
