Second Life Avatars

Overall, I got this avatar to resemble me the best. It was much patience in creating it but it went smoothly. I had to go in to fix my skin color though and define my face a little more. I went freebie shopping as well for more clothes my style!

 For my dream avatar, I made a creature called the Blind Caterpillar, but I couldn't take it with me to the destination we were in. It was pretty cool since I almost got it to have a huge flashing billboard "The Blind Caterpillar" over it, but that failed miserably at the last minute when trying to alter it. I chose to create this creature because I'm fascinated with butterflies, but I had to include it's origin first. I loved this project!

3D Sculpture Animation

For this project, we were to create a digital representation of a 3D sculpture we made in class. So far I loved my actual 3D sculpture, I wasn't as satisfied with the animated version. This one was a bit difficult even with the tutorials. Some textures wouldn't fit right, some figures didn't scale right and I couldn't create the dripping paint effect like I so badly wanted to. I felt that would've been the best part. Either way, I was at least okay with the outline I created of the figure. That part was okay to handle, but the small details such as the rhinestones were almost impossible so I gave them a fluorescent stone-like texture instead to symbolize its spherical features.
