Utah teapot
The Utah teapot was a part of computer science. It has became a stander reference item in 3D objects to test graphics.
It covers many bases like curves, shadows, and reflections.
Visual Python
We learned how to create objects in visual python. Making a square is as simply as "box()".
Alice
Alice is a program that helps people to learn the basics of moving and programing 3d models to do things.
Movement
To start I just made the character do some movements.
Sketch Up
Sketch up is a free program to let people design houses with a 3d model. It let's you draw the shapes and areas for a house.
I didn't find makeing a house to interesting so I to try and make a starship in the program. I get the basics for the thrusters done.
Done with half
And done
Orbit
On Thursday we made a 3d graphic of the sun and earth. to get the Earth to move, we used trigonometry to have it move in a circle.
Using sine and cosine we made the it go in a circle around the sun
Vectors
on friday we learned how to use vectors to create moving projectiles. We started with making a ball bounce and fall to gravity.
To make it more realistic, I added a air resistance to slow down the x movement.
