BabyVac by Team 1 Nearing the end of the school year, finals are bound to come up. For e-Comm, our final was to present a made up product with a pre-assembled team. Our product was the BabyVac (the Baby Mop was already taken), which is basically a portable vacuum attached to a onesie. When the baby crawls around, it cleans your floors (amazing am I right????). Totally original.
Team Work Overall, our group effort was alright; it wasn't good, but it wasn't bad. Distractions would come about every so often, but for the most part, we worked hard to make our presentation funny and well-designed. Next Time... I think that if I were to be put in a group like this again, I hope that I would try to get people more on track rather than just sitting there and watching a couple people in my group slack off. I don't want to have to work as much to get other people's parts done tbh!! Improvements Becca and I spent a lot of time working on the commercial, so I think I know a lot more about Final Cut than I did before (merging clips, etc.). I now also sort of know how to make a sphere in SketchUp, but since it didn't end up in the final animation, that doesn't really matter.
Process First off, I made a giant rectangle that would be the base of my house (I don't remember the dimensions). I rose it up 8 feet, then made a line [hotdog style] on the top of my house and moved it upwards another 8 feet. Then, I made the outlines for all of the windows and doors, spending a lot of time trying to figure out where they would go. To make the frames for all of them, I used the tool 'offset'. Since I was in a hurry to put color on it, that's exactly what I did next. Afterwards, I put in a dog for every window :>. Next, I made the gutters on the sides of the roof and made steps for the doors. Making the back porch, which I did after making the steps, was probably the easiest part of the house to make, however it wasn't needed. Lastly, I downloaded some flower and tree models from the 3D Warehouse and put them in to make them look all pretty like.
Quick Note I was supposed to finish this before the doghouse, but I was so intent on making the chairs look fancy, so it took me longer than I expected (oh well lol). Also, the reason a dog is on the table is because I forgot to put it by the doghouse. :> How It's Made (please don't sue me) I'm sure you could easily figure out how to make the floor, walls, and window, so I won't talk about that. There was a lot of use with the push/pull tool, considering exact measurements were needed. The follow me tool was also used to make the skinnier parts of the chair legs. One other tool that had a significant role in this was the offset tool, used to make the tablecloth. - Brenna (っ• ◡•)っ
This is the doghouse I made in Sketchup. It was surprisingly easy to make, but I guess that's what blueprints are supposed to do. - Brenna (っ• ◡•)っ (PS: There were a couple other projects that I was supposed to finish before this but they aren't done yet; I'll get them done as soon as I can)
