In the week 2 class workshops, we were introduced to to edit mode. This was a large test for me since a lot of new things were introduced at once. I quickly started to pick it up and started to become more confident in blender.
For this weeks assignment we had to create a Tie Interceptor from Star Wars. I found this assignment really fun as I got to explore a lot of blender.
Again, I decided to just watch the demonstration instead of following along because I knew I would not be able to keep up. I finished the basic 3D model very quickly and spent the rest of the time that week adding more detail to the model.
I found the animation of this assignment extremely fun. I quickly got the tie fighter animated and decided to add something extra to it. I decided I would make the tie fighter shoot. I did this by simply creating small thin cylinders and joining cones to the end and animating them. I also decided to experiment with HDRIs and found a Space themed HDRI pack online.
