Lights are annoying, the placement can be difficult and also the choosing of which light to use. After practicing with them I feel more comfortable and I found the shadow on button that makes my shadows look more pleasing. Working with different renders is sometimes annoying because I forget which one to use for a specific light and sometimes when choosing the wrong renderer I get a black screen which scared me at first but then later on learned it was because I did not have the right render. After I saw that the lights looked awesome and that it worked lol. Overall lights are cool to mess around with and see how it affects your scene and the mood it creates.

The amount of stress that this one assignment has caused and how badly it has hurt my grade has really made me think do I want to keep doing this art until my senior year. The last assignment I haven't even finished because I have no clue what to do after redoing it for 3 times the pressure sure is on and is making stress for no reason. My grade went from a 92 to a 85 and now the next assignment is about 3 to 4 hours long and I'm not ready for this. But I will keep pushing the task must be completed and I can do it I just have to see it in a different perspective.
Summary:
Well after seeing the assignment I decided to go for it thinking it was going to be easy. But after 2 hours I started to realize that this was not going to be easy and instead would be quite difficult. After working on it I had messed up really bad so I decided to reset the whole thing and start from scratch. After that I ran into the problem of having a messed up UVW unwrap which caused a lot trouble but for now I will keep going and see how it goes. By far this assignment has started to push my limits. The videos are a bit dated and make it hard to find the tools used in the videos because the program has changed so much and everything is not in the same place.
Summary:
Thanksgiving is around the corner and I still have a lot work to do. I feel really over whelmed and tired, school has been a little stressful because I have been getting a lot of work from each class. During this week everyday I felt so tired for no reason and I notice school was taking a lot out of me mentally. But 3D modeling though has been okay I am at 50% of my neighbor hood project I have the street and plane and 7 houses because the other 3 need to be different and unique. Out of all the projects this one seems hard but is not. But then again it kind of is, for thanksgiving I will be playing video games and trying to relax while I have the chance of no work over break. That's why I have been working my self to finish an assignment before break. But overall I need to manage my time more wisely and being careful on distractions. Like my phone I deleted all social media except entertainment like YouTube, Netflix and etc. So my distractions stops and I can focus on my work and keep being productive.
Summary:
Well 3D modeling has been fun and was a bit stressful because it get's involved with my life after school and makes it harder for me to relax because when it's big projects I have to use time out side of school and work on those projects instead of having fun or relaxing. But the mechs were fun to make and taking photos of different parts of town was cool. But one thing I will focus on more is seeing what thing needs my most attention and what can hold on. The rest is just about having a schedule and keeping up with work and using my school time wisely. I miss school but it's fine I have found a way through online school. Never the less I miss my friends and socializing with other people. But if there is one thing I have learned through this pandemic is being alone is not bad.
Summary:
It's a close weekend, school begins this Monday which is crazy for me. I never thought I'll be living through a pandemic, but what can be done other than adapt to new changes. This year or at least for the first nine weeks we will be having online school. It's a bit weird but I'll manage with it. But I am excited about this year's DDA ll this year we're gonna learn more in depth about 3D modeling and understand it more. I wish we were at school to see the new computers but home will have to do. I'm ready to learn new techniques and become a better digital artist because I suck at drawing. I'll update on how online school is going.
Summary:
These new techniques might be beginner-friendly because I am still pretty new at 3D modeling. So the first new modifier I learned was spherify which helps smooth out the edges of a pre-done object which has a somewhat sphere shape. Then our second modifier was turbo smooth that smooths out the object you want to smooth down. For example, I used these tools to make a soccer ball and made it look like one by using these tools. So overall these tools can be used most of the time to make cool things except spherify is a modifier to make something more spherical and ball shaped.
Summary:
The skill being explored at the end of June was a more in-depth look at the modifier list and seeing what the other tools do and seeing how it can help me in future projects. For example, the tool mirror helps you flip your object in the opposite direction it was facing when you complete editing the object. I created a ramp and I selected the modifier before I created the ramp and as soon as I finished it flipped it. I will be using these ramps to make a 3D model of a small skate park. So I learned a new technique to help me make my pieces more precise with how they look and small details like having the same corners and the same height. Summary:
I only worker on one half and use the modifier and the other half was there.
Google Doc tutorial:https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B0G9qIRLuJExMFd6OXlncmFfcGc/view When I first saw the interface video I was like whoa this app looks very hard to navigate and after watching these videos about how to interfere with the app It was not as bad. Once I finally got to download the app I opened it and I kinda knew where things were. So I started to mess around a bit to see and honestly this app is the funnest to use. You can do anything with just basic shapes and some tools.

Author Hello there, I’m Adonay this is my second year as a GAD student here at Durham School Of The arts. I survived my first year with Mr.B and his fast pace class. Now I have a decent amount of knowledge about a few art programs. And a little bit of an understanding of 3D modeling. But I like anime, I’m a computer person, and I love music. I’m your normal teen with a decent amount of knowldege of computers. I try my best not to give up on something that is hard I try pushing through. I’m pretty tall and I LOVE VIDEO GAMES!!! I’m pretty decent at them. The views and opinions expressed in this blog are solely those of the author and do not represent those of Durham School of the Arts or Durham Public Schools.
