6th Week - A Step Backwards And A Step Forwards

This week in Max, I was reminded of one of the most important rule of working with anything on the computer, Save often and make Backups. At the beginning of this week I was presented with the lovely error message of corrupted file meaning that I had lost my work from last week. Thankfully, I was able to take my experience from last week and remake the face a little faster. This allowed me to make more progress in the face such as adding in the nose, mouth, and ears. 

5th Week - Modeling

This week in Max, I started my first project which will be centered around improving my modeling skills. I chose to make a model of a person because the human form has a rather complex shape to it is somewhat challenging to make. The head was my starting point for this week as I am expecting the most difficulty with this aspect of the character, seeing as I have never modeled out an entire face. I set up some reference images from the famous Joan of Arc tutorial and made it to a semi complete face with the majority of the head complete.

4th Week - Garden

This week in max I finished my design of the outdoor learning environment. It features a nice large stage, that takes the shape of a cougar paw, with plenty of seating for any event. There are also several areas that can be used by individual classes to sit and work together. I feel that this design brings a nice balance of space for group and individual work which will make it perfect for any class.
The majority of the objects in the scene were made by starting with a outline that was then modified to give it
 a three dimensional shape.

3rd Week - Rough Draft

This week in Max, I made a basic layout of my outdoor learning environment with splines. The cougar paw is where a stage can be placed, with the main stage being set in the palm. Several rows of seating  can be placed in each of the toes of the paw. The circle are an idea for a spot where separate groups can work which allows for plenty of space where more than one full class of students can come to sit and work. Some nice planter boxes surrounding the circles filled with different plants would be a nice touch and a few trees in the area would be nice to have.
