Yesterday I worked more on the face

of the human I am making in blender. I am following along with a linkedin video course.

I started with a plane and put in all the features of the face. Eyes mouth, nose, etc in the front view and then I used the side view to pull the vertices to make the face 3D.

I thought oh, no my face will not look good. I won’t be able to pull out the vertices to the right spots. The face I made does look human.

Its a different way of modeling a face than the learning blender book had. In the book He started with a cube, smoothed the vertices, and added vertices by using loop cuts and the knife cut tool.

I think I like making vehicles in blender more than I like making characters.

About two years ago I read a book called Remember it

by Nelson Dellis and I had also read remember it several years before that when it first came out.

I had wanted to try the techniques in the book. I did try the technique to remember names and a shopping list for maybe a week but, then stopped.

The second time I read Remember it I made a PAO for a deck of cards and the numbers 0-99.

And I have tried to go through the cards and memorize my pao for the deck of cards. Its fun all I need to do is keep working at it. And who knows maybe one day I will be able to remember the order of a deck of cards. That would be cool.

So this year I hope to memorize my pao for a deck of cards and be able to remember the order of a deck of cards. And also start memorizing my pao for the numbers 0-99.

I will see what happens.

Today I worked on a character in blender

Instead of following along with learning blender I decided to watch a character modeling video tutorial. Since the model I tried to make following the book looked so bad. At least the face did since that is as far as I got

I figure it will be easier to follow along with a video.

I watched a video about screenless computers

To me the computer in the video is something like the starfleet insignia that the characters in startrek use as a communicator.

Before I watched the video I was not sure what the computer would look like. But, how cool would it be to have a computer like that now instead of having to use a phone. I think pretty neat.

I would rather use a computer like the one in the video than a phone or wearing glasses for a computer I can use while I am walking around.

Screenless computing looks pretty exciting to me.

Yesterday I started working on a human face so I could

follow along with Learning blender. I am trying to make a different face than the author. I don’t think the face I am working on looks that good but, I have to try to make a human character.

I remember one of the first tutorials I did with blender 2.42 was making a 3D human like character. I tried the tutorial several times but, never got it finished. Sadly. I may have never gotten farther than or even finished the face.

So my human character might not look good but, hopefully I get it finished. I will try.

I am reading Wally Funks race for space

By Sue Nelson and I learned that when Wally was younger so used to put together balsa wood planes.

When I was younger I used to get cheap balsa wood glider kits that I got in a bag and put together. I am pretty sure all the kits had was two pieces and all I had to do to put it together was put the wings through the slit in the fuselage.

I though maybe the kits I got cost a dollar or maybe 2 dollars. I am not sure. I know I flew the gliders however I don’t know how often I flew them or how long the gliders lasted or how many gliders I bought.

All I know is that I used to get glider kits and I flew them. That’s about it.

And I also remember getting rocket kits. I don’t think they were to expensive. Maybe I got one or two. I am not sure how they were powered. I know I flew a rocket kit at least once because I remember a little bit about the flight.

I would place the rocket on the ground. It would fly up in the sky and I think parachute down.

I am not sure if the rocket kits I got were could be used more than once. Maybe they could but, I don’t think I flew a rocket I got in a kit more than once.

I wonder why I quit getting rocket kits and balsa wood gliders. Because I think I had fun using them.

I am reading learning blender 3rd edition

I really want to make a character model in blender. I have read the book before but, never made the model. And so this time I hope to make the model.

Yesterday I started work on the human model. I made the eyes. I always have trouble remembering the parts of the eye.

And then I started work on the rest of the face. I can’t wait to see if I can make a human.

The other day I watched a video about Penny Farthing bicycles

and thought to myself after making a Harley Fat boy in blender it would be easy for me to make a penny farthing bicycle or even a regular bicycle in blender.

So I hope to model a penny farthing bicycle and a regular two wheeled bicycle in blender. Oh, yes and I want to model a Hoppy penny farthing bicycle. Maybe I will model a hoppy penny farthing bicycle instead of regular penny farthing bicycle.

Today day I worked on a motorcycle model

I have been working on the Harley fatboy motorcycle off and on for about 6 months. I am following along with a tutorial. Its fun learning how to make a 3d motorcycle.

Today I added brackets and wheels and rims. I can’t wait to see what it looks like finished. I want to start and finish more of my own projects with blender also.

Cars and motorcycles are things that I want to model. So I hope to start modeling them.
