I decided to make a leaf headband from Naruto. I first started off making a line using the control point curve. Then I used sweep one rails to make it look like a headband, with some help from Croke-sensei. Making a recktangle I then split it to make a plate of metal in the center front of the headband. I did the same with a line to make a slash through the leaf symbol, which I made the same way.
9-11-08
Today I started coloring what I made last class using Flamingo. I also added three screws on both sides of the metal plate. I then started making a kunai using an ellipsoid and control points.
9-12-08
The kunai is becoming slightly annoying, so I'm going to work on another part of my project for today. I made a copy of the headband (now I have Itachi's and Sasuke's) then I started drawing a crow, using control points.
9-15-08
Today I finished making the crow using spheres, ellipsoids, and control points, and then I used flamingo to color it. I always use a crow as a symbol for Itachi, and it was remanicent of another project I did last year.
9-17-08
I finished making my two kunai by creating an ellipsoid and then using the control points to make it all pointy. To get the second one I copied and pasted. I also made a snake using spheres / ellipsoids then control points. This represents Sasuke since he learned jutsu from Oro. This means that I've finished!
9-18-08
I started the cinch connector today. Following the tutorial I opened a templette in millimeters. Then I made all of the required circles; I made them the right size, and put them in the right spot to make the proportions look right. After that I lofted them to create the outer shell of the cinch connector.
9-19-08
Today I made the 12 rectangles, extruded, and then trimed them. I also used fillet edge to fillet the base. I made an arch at the end of the cinch connectot, and then used sweep one rails to make the cap.
9-23-08
Following the rest of the tutorial I finished most of the cinch connector today! All I hace to say is tutorials are a lot easier this year than they were last!
9-24-08
I did some slight changes on my first Rhino project, and then finished making my cinch connector by coloring it in today. Hmm... I wonder what I'll do next...
9-25-08
Day spent updating Weebly and thinking of my next idea.
9-29-08
I started making a ring today for my jewlery project. The first idea I had failed since the command needed is a different program.
9-30-08
Following the jewlery tutorial I finished two rings today using the commands array, trim, extruding planar curves, lines, circles, and arches.
10-01-08
Started adding more detail to the rings using curves and then extruding them.
10-03-08
Added jewls to the center of the sun ring and finished it.
10-07-08
Made the rays around the sun by making a line and then piping it. After that I flamingo'd it. I also made a moon for the other ring and put in a gem and flamingo'd it.
10-09-08
I started making the jewlery box by making a well box. Then I used fillet curves to round the edges at the top. After that I famingo'd it using the colors black for the top part and a dark purple for the rest of the box.
10-10-08
I put a mirror in the background and put the box on a surface.
10-14-08
Yeah... my file got corrupt so that means I'm gonna have to start ALL over again... TT - TT
10-16-08
Made another ring using the tutorial again. I added spikes using cones and added my initials to the ring using text. Next I'm gonna try to figure out how to make wings look cool.
10-17-08
I started making the wings using ellipsoids as the feathers, but my work got cut short due to the stupid presentation I was forced to go to.
10-20-08
I worked on the finishing the wings, added a table, and a background, and a box, again.
10-22-08
I flamingo'd everything so I could use bongo to animate my project. I despise bongo. Today I had to quit rhino three times because bongo kept quiting on me or freezing rhino >.<
10-23-08
I finished bongo-ing my ring, and that was about it since it took a while for it to render the animation.
10-24-08
Today was spent updating my website: uploading my latest animation, pictures, ect.
10-28-08
Today I finished updating my website for my big end of the term presentation. I also thought of two new ideas that I might do for my next projects! ^ ^
11-03-08
I spent this class either watching presentaions or doing some quick sketches for my next project.
11-05-08
I did some more in depth drawings for my robot project, and was figuring out what I should have it do.
11-06-08
Word Of The Day: ANIMATIONS
I finished my sketches for my robot.
11-10-08
Today I worked on my robot's head and flamingo'd it. I got the basic shape down. Though I think I still have a lot more to do for this one part.
11-12-08
I worked more on the head today and started making the body.
11-13-08
Word Of The Day: 311
I worked on making the skeletal part of my robot by creating lines and then piping them.
11-17-08
I finished making the skeletal like features and started working on the armor.
11-18-08
Worked more on the body and outer armor.
11-19-08
For the most part I finished the out armor, and made the paws.
11-21-08
Word Of The Day: Architechture
Today I worked on the tail, which took longer than I origonally thought, and added stuff to the paws.
11-24-08
Today I uploaded pictures onto my website. I also added some more minor touches to my robbot like the weapons. Tomorrow I'll probably work more on the entertainment factor.
11-25-08
I made a tv screen today.
12-01-08
Paragraph.
12-02-08
Started animating and added the background.
12-03-08
Stared animating. I had Croke help me with a lot of it. I'm gonna have to cut out a lot of my ideas so I can attempt to get this done by Friday... TT - TT
12-05-08
Still animating.
12-08-08
Same as above and still getting no where... Can bongo die now?
12-09-08 to 12-15-08
I spent all this time animating and asking Croke for help. On the 15th I FINALLY finished animating my robot project.
12-17-08
I had to render the animation again today since something went wrong or it got deleted. I also spent my time updating my website.
12-18-08
I worked on making the movie for my animation using windows movie maker. I finished most of it, and all I have to do is add audio and music.
12-23-08
I'm almost finished with my movie. I added voice and a song, but next class I have to fix it so that the song and voice will run at the same time. I also want to switch the song since I got the wrong one by accident...oops?
1-05-09
Word Of The Day: Happy New Year
I finished my video.
1-06-09
I had to reload my movie since the file was too big, and I also lost the song. I also thought of a really good idea for my next project. I hope I can do it instead of the stupid (no offense) fire alarm project.
1-12-09
I started my 'fire drill' project. I need to relate my projects so that it interests me, and a fire drill doesn't, so I am going to make Kyuubi's prison, which would use the same command. Today I started making the bars on the gate and the seal. After that I made the different rooms.
1-14-09
Made some more changes to Kyuubi's gate and started working on the sewer part.
1-16-09
Started making the doors and pipes.
1-21-09
Yeah, so I have to do a student directed project so I'm taking a break from my other project and I'm starting to make Stitch from Lilo and Stitch instead of my Demonic Stitch. I got the basic outline for the body done today.
1-22-09
I started working on the hands, legs, and claws and also the antena things he has on his head and back.
1-23-09
I worked on making the claws and plasma guns.
1-27-09
I finished some of the finishing touches on Stitch and added a background and lighting.
1-28-09
Today I made some changes to Naruto's subconscious, and I started making mini Kyuu-chans/
1-29-09
I finished making a Kyuu-chan, and I'm putting on some finishing touches before I start animating like rendering. Though, I'm not sure if I'll be able to bongo what I want to do - it seems rather... complicated.
2-02-09
Added more pipes, trimming, started working on the ladder, and flamingo'd a lot.
2-03-09
Added chakra flames, finished the ladder, added doors, and made it more video game like.
2-04-09
I finished rendering everything, and added some more minor details. Next class I'll be ready to animate, yay!...Not.
2-06-09
Okay, I asked Croke-sensei for some help and I got the walkthrough command, and so I did it. Then I saved and quit so I could work on my other version of this, and the command kept failing, so I went back to my other one to render and the command was no longer working... *slams head against the desk* I hate animating...
2-09-09
Started animating and finished the rendered version.
2-10-09
I attempted to bongo my better version, but I can't figure it out and it's aggravating me to no end. >.<
2-12-09
I figured out how to make the camera move, and have finished it.
2-13-09
I finally finished one of my rendered versions. I got it to work! Though I don't think I'll have enough time to do the others...Kuso!
2-23-09
Working on my movie file, updating my website, rendering the final version.
2-25-09
Pretty much the same as the previous day. I'm almost done with this.
