Now it's . . . 3D MODELS!!! 🤩😱🎉
Embedded Files
Just so you know, we will now be working in a program called sketchUp for Schools. It's like a 3d Program for education.
From left to right: 5 foot cube, 10 foot cube, 15 foot cube, and 20 foot cube.
The first things I made in SketchUp were these cubes! First, you use the rectangle tool to create a square. Then you use the pull tool to pull it up and make it 3D. After that you make more cubes each in bigger and bigger sizes.
Finally, you use the line tool and sign your name!
These are the same cubes, just stacked. You use the move tool to move the cubes along the 'z axis' to move them up. With Casey on top!🙂
🏠 Simple House 🏠
This is my simple house! We used exact measurements and the tape measure tool to make sure it was a good size. Then we made windows, trim, door frame ,etc. The chimney, doorknob, and fancy window were extra. 🎉
Before adding textures to my house, I had to paint it.
It looks really hideous, but it helps later when I use textures. It helps separate different areas so we can differentiate what is being colored with what.
Voila!! MY textured simple house. THis was my simple house before I added A porchlight, and a keypad.
These were my extra things. I have a porchlight, and a number keypad.
This is the photo that I used to make my porchlight.
Starting In Blender
Now, we start using Blender. Blender is like a 3D program for animation. ❤️
This is what our houses look like in Blender.

Then, the best part, at least in my opinion. 🥰
ANIMATION!!!
We animated our house to spin. First just 3 seconds, then 10. To do that we used the timeline and keyframed rotation on the 'z' axis. From 0 degrees, to 360, back to 0.

We extended the time line from 90 (3 seconds) to 300 (10 seconds) and keyframed it back to its original position.
🎉3D Models 🎉
tRUST. tHIS IS THE BEST PART. we USED sKETCHuP TO MAKE OUR 3d MODELS. thEY'RE SORT OF LIKE MODERN ART SCULPTURES. i MADE THREE BECAUSE THE FIRST ONE WAS AN EXPERIMENT, I WASN'T HAPPY WITH THE SECOND, AND THE THIRD... i GUESS IT'S THE BEST I COULD DO IN A SMALL AMOUNT OF TIME.
These are my first two 3D models. The one on the left is the one where I just expirimented with what I could do. The second one, on the right, is based on what I envisioned. I wanted a platform with stairs leading up to it and an arch above it, but I didn't really like the turnout.
The third one I made is the one I animated. I didn't fully like it, but . . . no time. So . . . good enough. I took inspiration from Roman pillars for the pillars. It's also has stairs leading to a platform like I wanted.
This is the back of my model and the best view of the roof.⬅️
This is my entire model from the front- stairs, pillars, roof and all.
A detailed, inside view under the roof. 👍👍
Blender (Again)
Now we used Blender to animate our models and make them spin. Same as our houses, we keyframed by making them spin from 0 degrees, to 360, and back to 0 again. 🔷🔷
TO keyframe, you lock the camera📷 to your view and then move to where you want the camera to be. Then you just click the little diamonds to set the keyframes. 🔷We set our houses to spin one way then back again.
260304 Annabel 10 second (Cycles)0001-0300.mp4This is the regular video! Because a "Cycles Render" is so high quality, it would have taken HOURS to render. Luckily, Mr. Hicks rendered it for me. Btw, a cycles render is the most realistic. It has the best glowing and reflectiveness.
260319 Annabel Woodworth Detail Flight.mp4This is the same video, but with a background. In order to give it a fancier background, we need to use a color key in Adobe Premiere. A Color Key is a way to remove the background of a video and replace it with an After Effects Composition, which a a moving background. It was super fun to make and experiment with all the different ones you could use.
260316 Model Spin with Fractal Noise - Annabel Woodworth.mp4This is the first background that I made. It's also called fractal noise because it moves around. It's originally non-animated, but we keyframe it to
