BC1-1801 Week 1 Homework Submission

Gandalf: Do you wish me a good morning, or mean that it is a good morning whether I want it or not; or that you feel good this morning; or that it is a morning to be good on?

Bilbo: All of them at once.

Crappity crap crap crap. This was indeed an extremely challenging exercise to restrict oneself to merely primitives (that’s an apt terminology for Suzanne. lol). It was very tempting to just press [tab] and fiddle with geometry. Definitely made one think outside the box and use your imagination.

Let’s see… About my experience level. I’ve just started to seriously start learning Blender. Paid for yearly membership to CGCookie and decided to take the bull by the horns. It’s a heckuva lot cheaper than paying for college tuition for any course for that matter. I’ve puttered with Blender prior to Cycles coming out, but never really had nor took the time to delve into it seriously. Now I am.

I’m pretty much starting from the ground up. Have sculpted Melvin a few times now and Retopologized the RoboOrb twice – once with Jonathan and once without. I’m finding the Learning Flows very detailed and helpful toward my quest to learn how to do 3D modeling. This class I’m hoping to use as a supplement toward the Learning Flows. I don’t worry that I may have done some of this before – it all helps. So yeah, I consider myself a beginner.
