Midterm Project Living Room

This was a really fun project and the only issue I had was that I had missed the day that we learned how to do the window cut outs so when it came time to actually cut out the walls I didn't know how. Other than that it was fun learning to make tables, table cloths, a flower, vase, and a working lamp. The moulding was a bit difficult but once you know how to do it it was quite simple.

Animated Shapes

  Once I decided to use the Logo our instructor had us recreate for an earlier class for the Squash & Stretch this project went pretty smoothly.

Richard Cole Animated Robot

Since using the robot that I threw together on the first day of class this was actually very easy to do. If I had realized I was going to be using this robot for this kind of project when I made it I would have created more joints so I wouldn't have so much clipping. In total for the animation itself and the camera pan toward the end it took me approximately two hours. If I knew the program better it probably would have been less.
