ICE CREAM 

In this project i used bump mapping to make the texture of the ice cream to make it look a little more melted rather than crisp and clean. I also used it to make the texture of the waffle cone. After i made all the graphics and the scenes i made every keyframe to make an animation and put it into Adobe After Affects which then made it into movie file. I had troubles with rending out my ice cream because the texture would move at a different pace then everything else which i got semi resolved. This project was one of my favorites because it turned out looking really cool and looking like actual ice cream.

BOUNCING SPHERES 

In this project i created balls bouncing which before we did anything we had to film the actual balls bouncing on a floor. I had to make the balls and then put every key frame in and then like the ice cream put it into Adobe After Affects which then i rendered it out and made it into a movie. On this animation everything turned out correct and made me very pleased. It looks like real balls bouncing on the floor but the tricky part was getting them to bounce at the same blade on the ground.

CUPS 

In this project i learned something new called NURBS which makes and outline of the object and then you hit the revolve tool and it made the object from that outline. I made an outline of each cup and it made it into a cup. I then put curves and textures on the cups and then render the picture out. In the end the cups turned put to look really cool and the textures made them look a lot better than the regular lambert gray. 

SALT SHAKER

The Salt Shaker was the most recent thing i have done i used the curve tool and made it curve it which is much like the NURB tool. The main tool i used was the lofting took which made it into the shape of what you see there. I had to use other tools that i used in the past to make the top of the Salt Shaker like mesh, boolean, difference. I liked this project because it is something i made and something that could actually be used in the real world.
