for my 3rd MK project, I chose to create a 1300s Viking village on a cliff with a boat and an ocean I achieved this by using a multitude of different brushes and strokes. the village includes circular huts, a longhouse, a campfire,and a ship on a beach this is what I based the ship off
and the houses are modeled after abandond viking huts in norway
for my project, I decided to create a campfire scene with someone telling a story about a Viking village but I made it so the village is around them and the story is going on around them. I am doing this in tilt brush and then converting it into unity to add the people to it. but I plan to make many different types of houses and huts I Have 1 hut right now that I have remade 3 times it is a mud hut with a straw roof. I also plan to make a Viking longhouse and a large Viking ship and I will add people rowing and attacking in unity.
for this assignment, we were tasked to make an ornament in a 3D design program and print it. For this design, I made a guitar that is in the shape of a Christmas tree.
The way I did this, was by taking triangles and making them bigger and using a rectangle for the neck then I used thin rectangles for the strings and cylinders for the buttons.
The two reasons I took this class were I liked the teacher when had her last year for global science and I really liked her teaching style. the other reason I took this class was that I really wanted to learn how to 3D print and experiment with VR I really like the freedom in the class but also that there is some structure like the occasional project or blog post. but the rest of the time we work on our personal projects. the project I am working on is a full black panther mask that I am planning to epoxy together and paint. I also want to insert some circuitry into the eyes to make them glow.
This week is Mx. thockers last week as our sub so I am going to print a mask in his honor because he thinks it is really cool the things I need to do to complete the mask are fit it to my head and wait for Riley to be done with the s5 printer with the natural PVA so I can print it smoothly I hope to start printing it Friday before Mrs. Labrecque comes back however it will take 15 days to print and over 200 ft of filament which is a lot and i’m not sure if mrs. labrecque would approve.
