Just in case…
The two previous post are written according to my opinion ONLY, should it actually offend someone (I do not know how), I apologize first hand. Thank you for understanding!!! ^_^
3D V.S Programming!!!
As an Interactive Media student, I deal with programming and 3D’s a lot. To me, learning both of them are quite different. For programming, it is almost similar to solving a mathematics question. “How to I solve this?”,”Are there any other methods to solve this?” and question like that came to mind. For 3D, it is more of …well, more of how people imagine things. It may look good on some, but bad on others. This actually part of learning as well.(from the previous post) People look at things differently, so they learn differently. For example, I find 3D, easy and programming, hard, however, my friends would say otherwise.
Thinking outside of a 3D mindset!!!^_^
There is an article regarding of the title above by Pete Bandstra. I can tell you this, it sure has gotten MY attention.
The general idea is about multitasking, and if you ask me how I actually feel about multitasking, I will say: “There is no such thing”.
You are probably asking me why. Let me ask you this then: “Why is it that some students just miss what the teacher is talking about when they are using their phone/laptop during class?” or “Why do some people often forgot their customer’s order when they are cooking other customer’s dishes?”
This is often the result of multitasking.
I should know, since I encounter these situation a lot,and one situation being my mother. My mother is also another person who likes to multitask a lot, which is why she tends to forget whatever we told her. (*sigh*)
To me, I can’t multitask. At all. It will actually give me a headache if I multitask, so I always focus on one thing at a time. To add on, I do not think multitasking will actually accomplish anything. It MAY give you the sense that you have done a lot of things, when in fact, you have done little.
Of course, you might tell me there have been people who are able to multitask like: listening to MP3, doing homework, watching television,using laptop, etc. I assure you, they can’t. If they are listening to MP3, they can’t focus on their work, if they are doing their work, they can’t listen to audio stuff.
You may not believe me, but, could you actually remember what you have listen while you were doing your, let’s say, mathematics homework. Because your brain is busy solving the problem, it actually ignore the music coming from your ears.(Speaking from experience here).
Anyways, enough about multitasking. In this article, there is a statement “Learning is actually a very complex operation for an individual “, and I agree this statement 100%!!!. Learning is different for each and every one of us, some people learn slow, while others are fast learners.Thus, it is rather a ‘complex operation’ as the statements states. People, I believe, are constantly changing their ways to learn better. I,myself, seems to change the way I learn, even when it is not noticeable. I do not know how I have change, but I know I have change the way. (Sounds contradicting huh?) The only prove that I have is the result I have obtained from tests, exams, as well as how I handle with difficulties.
The last paragraph of the article:
“The students for today’s industry have to have talent and the personality to fit in with the team. As a professional artist, communication is important and the ability to communicate well with other team members is an ongoing struggle. It is well noted that a businesses success rides completely on communication and this area is no different. The ability to effectively write an email, give and take constructive criticism, articulate a solution to a problem, and in some situations talk with a client are foundational skills necessary for success.”
There is no doubt on it. These are some of the skills that is a ‘must have’. We are, after all, human beings, and humans love to talk. Communication is one skill that is almost a necessity like food and water.(In my opinion) It is the bridge that will bring you success or failure in whatever you do.
So, in conclusion, to be able for the younger generation to be able to have a better education and prepare them for the outside world, teachers, lecturers, professors, etc, should first be able to work out the students work attitude. From there, they will be able to improve on the students’ learning ability, be it work or to communicate.
Washboard!!!
Let us return to the past!!! Here’s an ancient (not really) washing machine!!!:
And in color!!!:
Haha, this is another simple object to do. It is just made up of five polygonal cube!!! Can you belieeeevvveeee that!! This is just by changing its width, height and depth, along with bevel, extrude as well as align tools of course!!!
The only frustrating part it that when using the align tool is that…I can’t find the align icons…sometimes……ok maybe most of the time…*sigh* Don’t look at me like that. I really can’t find it sometimes, no matter how much I rotate around the object…
@\ _ /@ (Does this looked like an angry face?)
Train…Tracks!!!
Train is coming, train is coming, train is comingggggggggggg!!!! And I present to you, train…..tracks!!!!!!!(Haha got trick did you not?):
and in color!!:
It has the same procedure as the bucket, it needs to to be drawn by curves with the aid of an image. However, instead of revolving it, it is extruded out.
Hahahaha.
This is quite simple to do. All you need to do is extrude the curve that you have drawn and change its shape by using deformers. You could do change it like this:
or this: 
Bulb + Vase!!!…or at least it was suppose to be a bulb ^_^”’
I tried to add a bulb to the vase I made before….did not go so well haha…..*Ahem* Anyway, here’s the finished product:
…Took quite some time to get this shape T_T. It keep giving me weird shapes when I tried to revolve it T_T!!!
Like this:
or this:
and even this!!!:
(ohh looks like a flower!!! Should remember how to do this for future references ^_^).
It seems it is affected by how you draw your curve.(Must taking note *scribble*)
Vase!!!
After the bucket, comes the vase!!! Here it is!!!:
This is quite similar to the bucket, making use of a tool called revolve. I find this quite interesting as you are able to create objects, such as the vase shown above, by just creating a curve and revolve it.
Here’s what the vase looked like before revolving it:
Sugoi desu you ne? (Amazing isn’t it?)^_^
Bucket!!!
Oh Ho!!! This time I am doing a bucket. It is going to be difficult as it is not the same as the train blocks that I have made eariler, which are just made up of shapes. Here’s the finished version!!:
and of course in color!!!:
This had been that hardest to do so far. I cannot tell you enough how long I actually took to do this…I particularly going crazy doing this bucket!!! And for some reason, I managed to redo the handle for more than four times!!! Imagine that. @_@
You are asking ‘why’ perhaps? You see, I was trying to link the connector,
with the curve that was supposed to be handle.
But wherever I tried to extrude, it keep giving me weird shapes!!! In the end I was able to solve this problem by rotating the curve ,that was to be the shape of the handle(The one highlight in green in the picture above), straight towards the curve. (It is facing away from the curve in the picture above)
Just Some Practice 2 ^_^!!!
Just playing around with Extrude tool…..SOOOOO….
Meet Fol!!!:
Description:
Fol is a machine that follows you everywhere and giving you information that’s around your surroundings!!!
Isn’t He …er….She….er………………..Isn’t Fol COOL!!??
Just Some Practice ^_^!!!
Here’s some gears using the Extrude tool!!!:
And here’s two of them!!!:
This is by selecting the faces of the polygon that you want to extrude and than pressing the extrude tool.
