I built my first chair, learned how I could possibly make a spiral staircase as well as continuing up another level in the tower and learning how to modify an objects transparency, flexibility as well as changing the lighting of an object. A lot of higher levels in the tower are still under construction.
After completing the building tutorials I went to a sandbox in the same area and attempted to perfect building a chair, since the one in the tutorials disappeared after a short amount of time and I never had a chance to complete it. After this I have been spending time:
- Modifying the different primitives or objects that come standard with build mode
- Building double- stranded DNA with the rest of the group to try and build something useful using our newly acquired skills
I will explore Genome Island tomorrow to get an idea of what will be possible and what could possibly be improved upon for our island.
