Heat Press- 10/9/2025
The Heat Press is probably the thing I'm most proud of, because I had no tutorials to work with, and I had to make this all relying on reference images, and with learning how to use new and certain modifiers. I did have some fun making this, but I did face some challenges. While making the handle bars, I had some problems making the handle bars, because I couldn't get them just like the actual heat press. Other than that, I'm really happy with how it turned out and the grade I received for it(a 100), especially because I was put to the test to see if I could model an object without using tutorials.
Chess Pawn - 9/25/2025
Table Lamp 10/22/2025
I struggled with the chess pawn a lot, because I had to make this out of using splines, retracing over the reference image because I wasn't satisfied with the outcome, and the lathe modifier. I was completely unaware that you cannot go back and extend the spline once you click off of it, and that's why it took me so long to complete this. Overall, I was pretty okay with the outcome and the grade I got, which was an 80, despite experiencing some heavy trouble while tracing the reference image.
The table lamp is probably the project that I struggled with the most, and took me longer than it should have if I'm being honest. This is because I struggled a lot making the lamp because I was required to make it out of splines. Also, I struggled a lot making the lights look like how I wanted to. I tried to use an omni light to make the light shine upward, but I couldn't, so I had to use two spotlights. I was okay with the outcome, and pretty satisfied with the grade I got, which was a 90.

Still Life! 10/30/2025
The Still Life assigment is something I am most proud of, because it displays my texturing, and rendering skills for a beginner. Some challenges I faced while doing this though, was texturizing the bowling ball. For some reason, the bowling ball was mainly blue, and I couldn't figure out how to change it. But after looking back at the video, I redid it and it came out how I waned it to look. A technique I used was something I just mentioned, which was looking back at the reference video, and redoing some stuff with the coloring. The thing I am most proud of in this peice is how it turned out. It looks pretty realistic. My grade was a 93, so I was happy with my outcome.
Simple Textured Tank 11/23/2025
The simple textured tank (which I didn't find simple) is an assignment that I found the most challenging in this quarter. I say this is challenging because I had to find these textures myself. And to add on top of that, I had to go through trial and error a bunch of times. The textures did not apply in the ways I wanted to, but after a long time, I had texturized it to the best of my abilities. I am still proud of this outcome, because even after all the errors and roadblocks, I still got a 95 on this piece.
Indiana Jones Texturing 11/7/2025
The Indiana Jones texturing is something I also had challenges on, but not as much as the simple tank. The challenge I faced was the mapping. I had to reopen the entire Lego minifigure to get the correct type of mapping. The thing I'm most proud of is how it turned out, despite all the challenges. I received a 100 on this piece.
