What am I doing?: I am doing a tire model

Why did I choose it?: I choose this modeling because, it looks simple and easy but even though it may be some difficulties. Including, want to know different things and this model may be the right challenge. Also, in order to model a car I need to step- by- step and starting with the tire.

Insert Edge Loops Tool

Changing the settings will make the inserting edge loops in a different kind of way of looking. The new settings tools will provide the necessary for completing the task that we want to create. Such as, Multiple Edges will create all four lines that we want to put, in order to create the vents. Number of edge loops will allow you how many lines do you want to create once. Auto Complete will make only once click on the edge you want it to be and it will create.

Append To Polygon & Split Polygon Tool

The two tools I used to today are Append to Polygon & Split Polygon tools. Today, using the append to polygon tool we did to put the face shield (as the cover). Then using the split polygon tool we did for splitting in 3 sections of the inside shield and split vertically the shield to 8 sections. Doing that..selected vertices and click in move tool choosing the 3 points inside the shield...to make it more 3-D dimensional.

Plan of Action: How will you create it? List skill or technique?

Well I'm trying to create it by starting with a rectangle and from there try to form it. Such as, try to use somewhat the same steps from what we did in the helmet. In somethings I have to change in body size and head size will be little difficult to do. But, mostly will be using the steps that we have been learning and try form it by a rectangle shape.

What?Why?Challenge?--Friendly Dinosaur

What I picked is a dinosaur that is friendly and smiling dinosaur

Why I picked this friendly dinosaur image because, it looks pretty easy and not that difficult as the one we did with the helmet. Also, because it has some type of basic shapes and it looks pretty fun to do this image.

My biggest challenge to create this image would not be putting it in same size but, by doing it exact type of changing volumes and shapes...for example the head to the little arms or the stomach to little big legs. This is may be the challenge to create this friendly dinosaur.

Animation Journal: 3 Things You Learned, 2 Challenges, 1 Resolution

3 Things You Learned:

• To make the re-model more perfect than the old model that we did together in class
• How to use more often Edit and Edit Mesh options such as, select border edge tool, bridge, extrude, and etc.
• Save the work step-by-steps

2 Challenges:

• How to bridge it and make it almost perfect
• Fix the vertices

1 Resolution:

• The vertices to delete some few and select the border edge tool, to keep continuing in the steps and ignore few problems.

How I helped create the Bridge from a fellow student

Fixed the mistake by deleting faces that connected to the bridge that it had problems with (old bridge). The next thing, was to select the border edge tool from the jaw. Only it had 6 lines rather than 5, so select the 6 border edge tool and the rest of the lines that needed to be select. That were the other 3 lines that connected the wall (the side of the helmet). Selecting all these lines, but there was a extra line that was needed to select, so I selected it. The rest was to just go to Edit Mesh and click the little cube of the Bridge. Then just click Bridge rather than Apply and it's done. The settings needed to be the Divisions: 0 and Smoothing Angle: 30.0000
