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.

Here is the link to the video.

Nurbs Label

You didn't give specifics as to what text size or anything so I went with what made it quicker for me.

Sphere Not

Here are my spheres at segments 6, 12, 48.

robot axis

I can understand the use of parent and children terminology but I think it seems a bit childish I would have simply gone with Folder and sub-folders. As for editable objects I think its very easy to change something from a primitive into an editable object. And last but not least there is alot of icon choosing to change an axis.

Robot

My thoughts when creating this robot was just to get it done quickly and try to make it balanced or even at the same time. The most difficult part for me was actually the rendering and saving. I would round out the corners, make better hands and all together make it look more realistic.

RICHARD COLE, GRA 203

 Hi, my name is Richard Cole. I am currently 35 years old, I'm married, I have 2 children, 2 dogs, and  a cat. I'm currently a Computer Graphics major at AWC in Yuma Arizona.

MY COMPUTER

At home i use an Asus gaming laptop for my school work. The reason I chose an Asus gaming laptop was, almost every bit of research I did for the best computers for computer graphics work said that after a Macbook pro the best computers were gaming computers because they are designed to display heavy graphics without bogging down.

MY PLANS

I currently do not have a set plan for what I'm going to do with my degree once I obtain it, a dream job would be working in either movies or games but I also realize that at my age it's kind of unlikely to happen.

MY EXPERIENCE WITH COMPUTERS

I can't pinpoint exactly when I started using computers but it's been a long time. The programs I have the most experience with are definitely Adobe CC and Microsoft Office. Here is an example of something I did with Photoshop for the Yuma Sunrise Rotary Club.

 FAVORITE ART

I don't know if I have a favorite kind of art, I think for me it depends on the mood I'm in but one of my favorite artists is Frank Miller. I love his work. 

FANTASY VACATION

I don't know if I could actually pick a fantasy vacation spot, anything not Yuma would be extremely nice. If I had to pick I guess I would have to say an Alaskan Cruise.
