Lessons 1-7 complete! (Yay!)

Hey everyone! this is my ART-Class Blog!
so the past week I've been learning this program- 3DS MAX, and I have finished the first 7 lessons! (yay) 



So here was lesson one- we learned how to make a cube! It was pretty easy, but we also learned a bunch of interface stuff.





Lesson two was a bit more complicated. we learned to extrude! and I made a fox-face shape! (instead of a boring heart like we were told to)

 


In lesson three: we learned to place image-planes into our workspace. This was a useful skill to learn, but was still quite easy to accomplish







Now, in lesson 4, things started to get a little more complicated. 
we started to learn how to make splines, and connect them together. soon, we would be creating 3-dimensional objects!






 Lesson 5 was a bit more complex. We tarted dividing up our shape into pieces so that an object could more easily be formed from it.



 Lesson 6: A 3-d shape was made! oddly, the tutorial-man had more issues than I did! my shape formed out perfectly, so I did not need to fill in any holes, which was nice.






In lesson 7, I had to create a whole new object! I think it went well. one issue I had was that the top on my 3-d spline looked like an open book, and I could not figure out a way to fix it without restarting (pulling at the vertices changes the shape too much, and it would not let me adjust the spline handles. On a whim, I tried making a fully surfaced shape, and the shape formed perfectly anyway! it was amazing. the splines looked odd still, but the shape was fine.



In my next post, I will discuss my adventures with lesson eight! And possibly a few other lessons too. Cya till then!
