It was a rough week. Lots of software glitches, and problems with my model. Professor was awesome, and made it to the end of the week with a half way decent project, and after some reworking a decent grade.

Practice object: Two practice objects this week. Some typo’s in the instruction and the lack of a tutorial (at all) resulted in this taking 30 hours to complete, when it should have taken an hour total for both objects. I really am not happy with this class. So the first major hurdle which was understanding […]
