Reflection for Week 3

For the lab 2,  track modeling exercise, luckily teacher went through a little bit in class. If he did not do that, i think would have encountered a lot of problems. One example was pressing 6 as the shortcut to get the image on the polygon and using shading> X-Tray so that it is easier to see to connect the lines together with the create polygon tool. I tried connecting the lines without using the X tray and it wasn't easy at all. Those were just my main starting problems, the rest was easy to follow. I learnt about the bend tool and the setting of curvatures. I like the part when i extend the polygon and it really looks like a track already.

For the Lab 2, Washboard Modeling exercise, i got familiarize with the align tool already. When selecting two polygons, you have to know which one to select first to be able to align them nicely. I was able to find out myself which to press to get it in line after lots of tries. There were a lot of aligning in this exercise which helped me practice. I also finally understood the use of window > Outliner. In the past few exercise, i just do but i didn't understand the purpose of it till i asked teacher. It is just like the parenting tool in Adobe AFter Effects. This exercise wasn't difficult, it  was manageable. After i created my washboard, it reminded me of the washboard my mum used to use very long ago to wash my shirts.
