not much really changed. i spent most of today tweaking them geometry like in video 5. The geometry is really weird but hopefully i can get the modeling done next class

the phaser looks fairly good. Some errors wont show in the fnial render but would be noticable upon further examination.

Well... my vertexes don't line up. I will have to somehow snap them all together. Since i missed so much class I will take the phaser home and get some good work done there.

KickStarter idea

I know that there are already 3-D printers but this one seems to be small and convenient. A good point was brought up that imagine little kids being able to build their own toys and parts, it could be a game-changer. And its only $75, I think...

Teacup Final Render

I used a wood texture as the "Table" and I think that it looks pretty good. The objects look good as well, I have been devoting most of my time to the phaser.

well... my points won't snap to the grid. Hopefully there is a way to fix that

The phaser is starting to look like an actual phaser. Hopefully I can get it done pretty soon. Next class I can pretty much finish video 2 and probably half of 3. 5 more classes and i should be done. I'm worried about getting an A in this class, hopefullly my effort shows...

well, i got all the work i lost back. It is looking a lot better than the old version. i'm at 18 mins. next class...

5/7/12

well...i had to restart because the two planes didn't line up. I spent the entire period trying to figure out how to align them and set the scene up succesfully. Next class i will get more of the phaser done.

I started working on the Phaser but now it looks like I will have t redo the fish. I spent many class periods trying to make it look better but it just doesn't seem to look good. I was hoping that I could put enough effort to make up for it, but I should probably put the Phaser on hold for now. I'm not very good at the 3-D stuff, and never have been. I prefer programming, it makes more sense I have more fun doing it.
