[ BLOCKS FTW ]

BLOCKS!

Ok, so i've done my assignment on the blocks O.O!!! (SHOCKED)

Some screen shots below :D

Picture-ri-fic

OMG I FINISHED IT -TEARS- ;__;

Lookie it's a block with a semi circle cut out :D

That basic triangle that hated me so much

-----------------------------------

In this assignment learned to make race track blocks O: (ITS WOODEN)

So as usual we have our basic controls and all learned from the lil robot - Noir :) Yes she has a partner called Noah, he's at the top (as in the top post O.o) LOL.

SO this time we learned the Bevel Tool. This basically enables the user to make a smooth looking shape (: There's also another method that has been taught to us in class which is much more effective, i might say.

So here's how it goes:

And so basically when you smooth the shape, it retains it's shape but still becomes rounded. While the Bevel Tool just shapes the edge, although after you smooth the shape it looks more even, but it doesn't really work as well with the custom random shapes we're gonna make...

Next I learned to use Mesh ~ Booleans ~ Difference and Mesh ~ Booleans ~ Union

Difference basically allows you to cut a shape from another while union does the opposite.

Reflection

Well, learned a lot!! but there's more coming :D gonna master Maya with the time i have... although i do meet problems some times =.= but i'll overcome it soon :D

I noticed while doing my lastest assignment "My Gundam" that i can't really do different well @.@ some how it takes away the whole shape... hmm. I'll work on it though!!!

Cheers,
Elixian :D
