3D Software Tutorials 

TinkerCad is a software I have a decent amount of experience with, but only regarding their circuit building possibilities. It was fun to challenge myself and explore their 3D modeling software, and I found it very user-friendly

For this modular project, I wanted to make something that had an organic feel, but wasn't necessarily representational of anything. I was inspired by the idea of flowers and stems and leaves and caterpillars, and kept that in mind when designing. 

I took the approach of designing something I would want to play with as a child that wouldn't limit a kid's imagination, but would still provide something to provide legitimacy to the play.

The design itself is composed of 5 different linkable components that can be attached in various manners to produce various shapes and creatures. If printed, I would love to mess with paint to make some of these components have more character and to increase the world of play they create.

Blender was a compleatly new software for me. while I have used things like Nomad Sculpt in the past, I had never actally made anything past just messing around with the tools they provide.

I love the various opportunities that Blender offers for creating. I found that there are various tutorials online to help new people create in the software. 

However, there is a massive learning curve to the software. One might even say a learning hill. 

One major thing I learned is that the craft of making the object is the easy part. I had/am having a hard time figuring out how to color my objects and have made a plethora of mistakes in this regard. 

I was most scared to use Fusion 360 but found it to be more intutive of design procedure when compared to  Blender
