Texturing: Box UVs-Finished

The UV Mapping project was difficult. It was hard to import the pictures since I couldn't find it. Then, moving the layout was also hard since it reset itself. I got it done, but it was hard.

Wedge Tool-Finished

The Wedge Tool Mini was easy. You just had to select a face and edge and wedge it. I then increased the divisions and increased the degrees. I then repeated for the larger semi-circle. This mini was extremely easy.


Animation Ball Bounce-Finished

The animation for this project was easy. You just had to set it and you played it. I also adjusted the path of the ball with the Graph Editor. This animation was very simple.

Animation Arm-Finished

This project looked difficult when I first looked through it. However, going precisely to the directions, it was relatively easy. It was difficult in some places, but I just had to read the directions better.

Extrude Along a Path-Finished

I really liked this mini. It was fun to move and make the extrudes interact with each other. It looked really interesting and cool. Moving the extrudes was also was cools.
The Spacecraft Animation was hard. I messed up severly times.The animation was incorrect many times. I had to get help from another classmate to help me fix the problems. However, once I had fixed all the problems, the animation looked very cool.
