Blender Modelling Galore + Proposal Data Plan!

Aim: Create a 3D Model and write supporting evidence.

Objectives for Adam:
*Re-call criteria for A3.
*Use Blender.
*Complete U41 A3T1.
*Proof read your work and compress images.
*Submit U41 A3T1.
*Begin U41 A3T2 – creation evidence.
*Complete U35 and submit.

Hello! Over the course of Tuesday and Wednesday, I invested my independent study time into further completion of my university portfolio. I am currently working on my final and last piece before I include the finishing touches. In regards to assignments and resubmissions, I carefully planned out a to do list to split up my working intervals efficiently.

Coming into college, the main objective of today for me is to continue with U41_A3T2. With the head model, I followed the brief simultaneously to help create the specific design I originally had. Whenever I encountered an issue or unknown situation, I searched for tutorials and this has beneficially helped me learn a lot more about the software from other sources - this was my strength to solve issues. On the other hand, my weakness was making a huge mistake of losing a chunk of my progress (I learnt that undo-ing your work in Object Mode reverts your model back to stage 1) but I quickly amended this within minutes.

My main source of inspiration today was these videos - 1 & 2. This is because it has taught me to extrude with other important tips and tricks for Blender. As a result I was able to create a horn on the head model and smooth it to professional standards. See image below of my current creation!

Monster Head 'Harvester' Model.

My next steps for this is to understand the process of sculpting - possibly with texture.

Today I have also received emails from Zoe and Adam. For Zoe's email, I have to amend my Scheme of Assessment quickly and for Adam's email, I have received another resubmission for U41_A2. His marking and turnover is extremely fast and accurate, I am thankful that he spends additional time for us because it keeps us loaded with work without the need to lose the momentum. Moreover, I am also anxious about U41_A1's resubmission because I have not yet achieved any of the criteria, therefore I will invest more time into research and ask Adam before I resubmit.

To reflect half of today with Adam, it has been amazingly productive. He let us get on with work and research which lead to good progress. My goals outside of college is to follow the plan I have made in which organises all my work load.

Blog will be updated after Emily's lesson.


Objectives for Emily:
*Design a table or suitable model for collecting data.
*Finalise your plan to collect data.
*Organise how you will now collect your data.
*Have written your research plan.
*To begin collecting data.

Throughout the lesson spent with Emily, I managed to finalise the proposal/research plan that I will be using to gather qualitative data for my statement "Develop has a diverse range of students." It has been a very progressive and productive session and I am excited to execute my method next week. 

In addition to this, I started to fill in other people's questionnaires and surveys, providing them with data. For my work, I feel like I am on schedule - the only request I would like is for Emily to see and read my proposal plan to double check.
