Independent Projects: Your Choice

I apologize for being out this week.  I am hoping to be back Thursday, but there's a possibility that I will not be back until Monday.  That being said, I am giving you a choice of projects this week.

Your options:

• Use Sculptris to make some holiday models
• Halloween could be a ghost or bat or monster or pumpkin or something.
• Christmas could be a Christmas tree or ornaments or snow man, for example.
• Easter could be a bunny or chick or Easter eggs or whatever.
• A birthday could be a cake or a wrapped present
• Use Sculptris to make a Jellico Blue Devil bust. (Download Head)
• Add a flat base to the bottom so it could be an actual statue or bust
• Pay attention to details (wrinkles, veins, hair, etc.)
• Use Sculptris to make a famous person model. (Download Head)
• Find some good source pictures on the Internet to model from
• Use Sculptris to make a pendant model. 
• Create some sort of model that you [or someone you know] would wear as a pendant -- but make sure to include a loop for a chain to go through.

I will look at the completed models and may bring in a 3D printer to print out some of the good designs.  Maybe we can get you started as a model designer on Thingiverse.

• Use Sweet Home 3D to create your dream house.
• Use Sweet Home 3D to create a business you would like to own.
• Use Sweet Home 3D to create a Zombie Survival Bunker.

When finished... update your Portfolio Blog by putting pictures and a write-up about what you made.  I will be grading the rest of this course on class participation and your Portfolio Blog.  If you don't have a blog (or don't put your finished assignments on your blog) you will NOT get credit for the assignments.

Make Sure you have a finished Sea Creature.  When we get to Bryce, we will need that model.

Finally:  If you finish your project, start another one.  There's no reason to waste lab time when you could be making something.  Let's say you make a cool ghost model for Halloween -- make him a friend.  Maybe you make a cool pumpkin -- so make one with a carved out face.  You make a Christmas ornament -- make a set of them.  Be creative.  Be a maker.
