Hello, you all may know me by Bryan. Others know me by my nickname which we will not talk about, Let me talk to you about something, So do me a favor and sit back relax maybe grab an snack and enjoy because this will be my final post about the year and im also going to be talking about how this year went in general. Okay so first, i really thought this class was going to be easy but it really is not, i remember mr.b telling me how this class is harder than taking 5 AP classes, At that time, I didn't believe him at all. BUT NOW, Oh yeah i believe him. my first assignment in this class i didn't even complete it, I only did half of it and that was it. For me it was super hard to do any work here, The first software we ever used was Adobe Photoshop, That software was pretty easy to use in the middle of using it but when i first opened it i was like "what the heck is this?" but now i use that software like a piece of cake. during my time of using that software i did several assignments that were pretty easy, right now i probably don't remember all the specific techniques i used for that special project but if you give me time im pretty sure i could complete it. Another software we used in the beginning of the year was Adobe Illustrator. Im not even gonna talk about that software because it was the exact same as Photoshop, Well at least for me. Another software i had used during this course was Adobe Animator. i kinda don't like that software that much because it was super hard to use for me, The different techniques it had were just complex for me to use. The software itself was hard to use it was literally confusing for me. During unit 4 we used 2 different software's that were probably the most easiest software's to use, Which were Adobe After Effects and Adobe Premier. Those software's were so easy to use. During that unit i had already had experience with video and audio editing because i had already before editing soccer videos to my preference. But of course i haven't used neither of those software's before until unit 4 came around. So basically unit 4 for me was the easiest unit in the whole entire year. Now were getting into unit 5, The last unit of the year for this class. The software we had used was 3DS Max which in the beginning it was hard to use and really difficult to navigate on the software. we had basically started the 3D modeling stuff so this was the software we used for it. during the middle of the unit, this software was pretty easy now because i already knew how to navigate myself around and use all the different techniques mr.b had provided for us. making the models were pretty cool and the way i did mine were super nice and i loved how they turned out. This year has gone super fast and im going to miss these software's and this class. This class in specific had taught me a lot about computers and how to use them. All the different software's we used in this class were pretty easy to use when i got the hang of them. All the different techniques i learned from every single software were awesome and i love it. Thank you MR.B for making this year and especially this class really awesome to be in. - I will miss this class alot
- I learned a whole lot about computers and the softwares we used. - Learned different techniques about each software we used. -I had an amazing time in this class.

My experience with 3ds max is going pretty well so far. I've had crazy experiences with 3ds max. I've done a bunch of projects which i will include in the picture down below. 3ds max has been super easy so far, The most best project that i have done on 3ds max was a spaceship. That spaceship was super detailed and was super fun to build and add the details. To be honest im going to add the picture of it down below. Other items that i have done was a futuristic planet, Ill also add a picture of it below. I've done a flower and i did it with different primitives, i added little details to make it look more realistic. All the primitives that i have used are pretty simple to use. what i had to do was make the shape a editable poly, Add the primitive and do the tweaks that i have to do to make the shape into i need too. There's this tool that i used for both projects which is called Extrude. Basically what it does is you pick a block of the shape to edit with and then pull out the extrude. Basically what i did for the futuristic planet, i chose different blocks to edit with and make the buildings. Another tool that used for both projects is the tool inset, basically what i did is choose a block like the extrude tool and then drag in, this tool does not pull out the block it brings the block inwards. Summary- 3ds Max is easy to use - You use primitives for projects - Extrude tool is easy to use - Inset tool is even easier to use So this week in my class, We worked with 3ds Max. It was great, Me and my class made different figures using 3ds max. One of them was a snowman. it was pretty hard in the beginning but getting used to the interface, it became really easy to use. Also for me it was really easy because i teached myself how to use the software. Other classmates of mine used videos mr.b provided us by for me i used myself and also my brain lol. But overall of the software, it was pretty easy for me i used every method i knew from teaching myself. Basically exactly what i like from the software is that, First off the name of it is awesome it sounds nice as heck. The interface when you open up the software isn't hard to use or get use to at all. If you want to make a shape it is not hard at all , all you do is click, click, drag and let go. Not hard at all right? Another reason why i like 3ds max, is that you can actually create anything you need with just a couple of clicks, You want to build a snowman just like me? Just use spheres and squares, You want to build a house? Just place blocks and a cone for the roof. Want to build a Stick man figure? Make a sphere as the head and long rectangles as the body and legs. You see, 3ds max is so easy to use once you get the hang of it. Some things that i have struggled with in 3ds max is that at first i did not get the software at all. I Did not know to navigate through the interface. At first i didn't know what i was doing with the software, I also thought i wouldn't get nowhere with how i'm using the software but little did i know i was gonna be a pro user hahaha. Just kidding but for real that was my struggle with the software itself. I am kinda ready for the 3d models were gonna make in the future let me start with the pros about it. i am pretty excited about the models because i'm gonna be able to learn new and new methods that i could use in even future models, Also because i will be way more comfortable with the interface and it will seem like a piece of cake when i use the software in even future models. Now with the cons. Basically the models will definitely be way harder than the ones before, And we will need to use more shapes and harder methods to do them models, We will eventually make more than 1 model in one single project. I'm guessing we will all have to do at least 3 in 1 project. But it all depends in mr.b to give us a break and not let us do 3 projects in one. Summary- 3ds Max is easy to use
- Get used to the software pretty fast - You can make different buildings in the software - CLICK, CLICK, DRAG, RELEASE hey, today i am going to talk about my experience with 3 different types of software, Those 3 software are Adobe after affects, Adobe Animate, and last Adobe Premier which we are working on right now and will be for the next month. Let's talk about adobe after affects first. Adobe after affects is a software that let's you create videos or slideshows of pictures and have affects in them. for example if you want to have a video with different types of effects, you add them by clicking on the effects section and add them from there. You could also add music to your project, doesn't matter what it is. Okay now lets talk about Adobe Animate, Basically adobe animate is kinda the same thing as adobe after affects but instead of you adding the affects and all that you animate and do tweens. and after you animate it's all the same and you could also add music to your project if you wanted to. Final software we are going to talk about is Adobe premier. Adobe premier is basically kinda the same thing as after affects but you can't add the affects after affects has. So basically you can add music and add different clips and pictures. and all 3 of the softwares have different mechanisms even though they sound and look the same. they're not, everything about each software is different and you could do so many different types of things with all 3. Thank you reading my experience with Adobe after affects, animate, and premier. Have a wonderful day and goodbye.
Okay so let me just start off with this, People think Photoshop is only used for changing people's face and all that bull crap, But that's not the case here. Photoshop is also used to Add/Remove stuff you want.For example say I had a really bad pimple on my face I want to remove bad because it will ruin my reputation, So if i want to remove it there's this tool on Photoshop that allows you to Remove stuff you want to.So i remove my pimple and we're all Happy.So today i will talk to you about all the good and bad things about Photoshop, So stay Tuned. Starting off with the good things i should say..Photoshop allows you to do Anything to a photo, No matter what it is, ANYTHING..When i say anything that means literally anything.Over the past Few weeks I've learned so much about the software that i know it from the back of my head.Once you get the hang of the software you'll Ace any Project you need to do.But Also, the Computer requirements for this software is pretty good, It doesn't really ask for much..First of All of course..You NEED a Computer of any type, As long as it has these hardware,Intel Core 2 or AMD Athlon, A 64 Bit Processor,2 GHz or Faster Processor, Microsoft 10,8.1,or the lowest 7, And Either 2GB or more of RAM but they recommend 8 GB. Now, To the bad things about Photoshop.Photoshop costs about $700 in USD, Photoshop is pretty Expensive for people. Gaming companies or other companies that use Software like Photoshop have a Monthly Subscription that is about $19.99 Each month. Summary
So Elements & Principles of Design.First of all let me tell you the difference between them 2, Elements of Design is Color, Shape, Form, Line, Space, Texture, And Value.On the other hand Principles of Design is Balance, Contrast, Emphasis, Movement, Pattern, Rhythm, And unity/variety.Elements and Principles of Design are 2 Totally different words, And have different Elements.In the picture you see above from the game "Super Mario World", This game uses both Elements and Principles of Design.First, Elements of Design, The game uses color, Matter of fact the game uses too much color.The game also uses shape as you can see above it has blocks, Which are squares and the Background uses Triangles, Same with Mario himself, He's made up of Squares.The game uses Line by the brick, Well there's lines everywhere in the picture.Also the game uses Space, How spaced out the blocks are.Texture, The question mark block uses the texture like it's made up of Metal Box. Balance, How Mario is balanced with the objects.Contrast, The blue in the sky.Emphasis, The detailing into the bushes in the background.Movement, How the enemy moves and also how Mario moves.Pattern, The pattern of the blocks.Rhythm, How smooth the game runs.Last one, Variety, The game uses a VARIETY of blocks and Background images.That's how "Super Mario World" uses Both Elements and Principles of Design. Fortnite also uses Elements and Principles of Design. color is everywhere in the game, Such as Trees, Guns, Even their Characters.Shape is all over the game as well, Like the buildings and all that.Line, The straight-ness of the Buildings and how straight the buildings are.Space, How spaced out everything is in the game.Texture, The Texture in the Brick.Balance, Everything is Balanced in the game.Contrast, The different values of Color.Emphasis, The different sizes in the objects.

Literally.So over the past couple of weeks we've been using different Techniques to help do certain stuff on Photoshop. We've used different Techniques such as Magic Wand, Brush Tool, Crop Tool, Eraser Tool, and Eyedropper Tool.The tool that i think will be very useful this year is the Magic Wand Tool, That tool will be very useful in selecting things you want to select. With the things you have selected you can do anything to the selected items, For Example color the Selected item or Put Filter on the item you selected. An example i selected was a picture i modified with Magic Wand tool, i Selected a part of the picture and i added color as you can see in the picture. - Photoshop uses different tools - Be able to edit anything -Select what you want -Every tool in the software has it own use Hey, have you ever wanted to create a piece for a video game or movie? Well there's people out there that do it and i am going to tell you how it works and how they create them and also what software they use. I chose to do computer animation because they create different types of objects or even characters from you're favorite video game or movie. They use a variety of software. Some examples of those software are, Auto Desk Maya, Adobe Animate, Blender, and Adobe After Effects. Computer Animation really interest me a lot on how the characters in my favorite video game are made, so i chose this to see how they make them and what software they use to do so. I already have some tools used in Adobe Illustrator and Adobe Photoshop, they are really simple to use but you have to keep practicing in order to master the skill. I even had to practice the skill so much in order to master it. So all it takes is practice in order to complete it. Some examples of the skills that could help me with these animations is probably masking, masking is probably the most hardest thing to master and with practice, it's possible. With me using adobe photoshop i think i have mastered layering, So that could help me in some other software used for this animation. Another skill i have mastered is The pen tool with both adobe photoshop and adobe illustrator. This skill has been the most hardest for me to master, But with all the practicing i had with the bezier game and doing projects on it. It's been pretty easy lately. Those skills could help me with creating animation. Thank you for reading and have a great day. Summary -Animation seems pretty cool -Looks and sounds pretty difficult to make -I have experience with some skills - We will start animation sometime in class https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computer_animation So you guys know about Illustrator, it's this software just like Photoshop but different features. In my time of Digital Design & Animation 1, I've learned different techniques on how to use illustrator, for example the pen tool, the pen tool is like the name a tool that is used to create different shapes and patterns for you to customize. The pen tool is really really useful when you need to create shapes in some type of format for example you just equip the pen tool and click 4 corners and you make a square. Another tool I've learned over illustrator is the mesh tool, the mesh tool is a tool that makes you create your own gradient. You just click on a certain spot in the shape or pattern you created and then you just choose a color for you to do a gradient with and then you have a gradient. Here's an example of me using the pen tool to create a pizza, i used different shapes to create the crust then made triangles and circles to make the pepperoni's as well as the olives, i also added pineapples because pineapple does belong on pizza on i don't care what anyone says. I also added green peppers to the slice of pizza because peppers are also good on pizza too, i made the peppers with long rectangle shapes. Then i just added the color green to them and put them on the pizza. Right now in the class i just finished making a cheese burger with just illustrator, but i don't have the picture of the burger with me. But with the burger i added everything a burger should have.The Bread, the patty's, CHEESE, and lettuce. Also in that project i used the mesh tool to create gradient's to the shapes to make them look more realistic. -Illustrator as the same price as Photoshop -Same mechanics -Pretty much do anything as well -2 main tools used were pen tool & mesh tool So i'm guessing you all know Fortnite by now. Fortnite is a battle royale game that 100 people in a game and you try to get #1 by eliminating all players and try to get to the #1 spot. Fortnite also has seasons. There's been 6 seasons in Fortnite battle royale. But today we're gonna talk about season 5 of Fortnite Battle Royale, season 5 started in July 12, 2018. It lasted for 10 weeks, There was 100 tiers in the Season's Battle Pass. In the first tier of the battle pass, The season gave people 2 skins which are called, "Drift" and "Huntress". The "Huntress" was the least favorite, But the "Drift" was the most popular. The Dirft skin was customizable which during the person playing the game, You could upgrade the skin into different levels. Season 5 was only $10 in-game purchase. The season would contain 100 rewards that you would earn in game, while playing the game itself. The season would have challenges every week for you to complete so it could help you rise tiers in the Battle Pass. The 100 tier of the battle pass reward that the battle pass would give you is the "Ragnarok" which is also customizable ,just like the Drift. So there you go, Fortnite Battle Royale Season 5 only $10 for 100 in-game rewards, i feel like it's pretty cool how you can earn rewards just by playing the game. 100 tiers, 100 rewards. Pretty cool huh?so hope you enjoy this little review of fortnites season 5, and have a wonderful day. -Fortnite is very popular at the moment. -Only $10 for their season Battle Pass. -100 tiers, 100 rewards for each tier. -Really cool skins, to show off. |
