Almost finished

So I've gotten all the nubs made, now I'm on the control box. I'm working on the indicators, and the switches and blade will most certainly be done by next class. Texture and material as well. This will be easy as cake soon.

CURSED NUBS

I've got the process of making the nubs down, for sure. I had some troubles extracting the new face, but I got over them. Then, after extruding the nub, I'd duplicate. But when I do, The NUBS ARE SEPARATE. It's excruciatingly annoying, and I hate it. I've restarted 3 times now.

Crankin the Saber

I've got the hilt done. I'm working on whatever hardware it is on the side now. I've beveled all the parts, and the duplicating worked easily. All that really went wrong was the gaps in the parts, that I fixed.

I must be a Jedi....

'Cause I'm making this lightsaber. I've made all the parts I can out of curves, which is the emitter matrix, lens assembly, and the bottom hand grip without the little nubs. I'm beginning the hand grip bumps, but that will come Thursday. I can feel the force with this one.

Apophysis QUIZ!

I was assigned to use Apophysis 7x for a quiz today, and give a general description. In its simplicity, it is also very complex, whereas there aren't any brush  tools or shape creators. It appears as though it's run off of a pixel based format, and using mathematical data, takes these pixels and makes them a really trippy sort of image. It's a very mathematical program, able to produce very intense and crazy images. It can "mutate" your flame to make it easier to manipulate in the editor. It's just a click to adjust the positioning of certain points on the grid. Honestly. I'd use it every day to make crazy "nebulae" or other crazy space phenomenon. To start, create a blank flame. Now, got to the editor, and use your transform. After getting the desired shape, make a new transform, and continue to edit. Repeat as desired. If you feel your image needs some reshaping, go to the mutation box, and click some of the images. The results are rather impressive.

Lightsaber Pictures (research

Here's 16 pictures of Luke Skywalker's lightsaber. I would have more, but a lot of the pictures are the same ones over and over again.

Working with Photoshop...

Today, I was told to make a GIF of the 3 point lighting. I'm to use photoshop, which shouldn't be too hard. But it was. Yet, with some help, I now realize how easy it actually was, and how not smart I actually am. But, I've got a GIF! And it is AWESOME.
