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.

Someone can answer better I’m sure, but here’s my take:
1) there is a dropdown with the material you have created. here you can rename/alter and use to assign to any object. I haven’t figured out if you can select multiple objects and assign the same material.
2) not sure what you mean here. my guess is the world tab where you can assign a global color to the view
3) once you move a newly created object the controls to add/lower segments goes away. you have to add these options before moving or transforming the object.
Hope these are accurate and help. Like your image above.
It is super hard to not be able to mesh with the vertices, after a few scenes not going the way I wanted I decided to just go simple. and now posting I notice things modeled here are skewed. but 11 pm here and I need some sleep. So here is my lighthouse on an island.

On this scene the hardest was to create the headkercief from primitives, that is several toruses on each other. The leafs of the palm are stretched cones.
Regarding my experience in Blender – in theory having around 3 years experience as watched a lot of tutorials, but in practice rarely doing anything. Maybe this class will help to inspirate, you guys are very creative
