Sketchup House

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.

Bouncing Ball Arcs

Not So Quick Note
I really did not intend for this to take that long...I just wanted it to be holiday themed. Unfortunately, Halloween was almost two months ago so posting this in the middle of December probably has no effect whatsoever.

Process
I started off by typing in my name and changing it from text to a picture. Afterwards, I made some arcs to help me figure out where the pumpkin would be falling/bouncing. Creating the frames of the pumpkin falling/bouncing was pretty easy, but the next step is what took me so dang* long. I wanted to make it look like ghosts were coming out of the pumpkin, and since ghosts are usually portrayed as transparent, I set the color of the brush to black and switched it to 23% opacity so that it would look like the ghosts were fading into the background. I then copied the text layer several times and basically did the same thing, except it was fading in instead of out. Lastly, I made all the frames into layers and went from there.

Also...
All in all, I thought that this was a pretty fun project (because of the ghosts :>) but I'm not proud about it being almost 2 months since I was supposed to turn it in. However, I do feel much better about it considering how it turned out.

Sketchup: Table and Chair

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.

Sketchup Doghouse

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.

(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)

Handwriting Project

To start off, this was made by typing my name and making the text layer into a normal layer. Then I started erasing my name bit by bit, starting from the end. After I was done erasing my entire name, I made the animation using layers as frames, switching the order to make it start from the beginning. This made it look like my name was being handwritten (sorry it's really slow btw).

Name/Personality Video

For this project, we had to surround our name with the personality traits that we chose at the beginning of the year...that's pretty much it. :>

My Personality Type

INFJ

So the other day I found out that my Myer-Briggs personality type is INFJ, not INFP, which made me really angry because now I share my personality type with Adolf Hitler and Osama Bin Laden when I used to share it with people like Johnny Depp and Heath Ledger. At least not all of the people I share it with are terrible; I also share my type with Tilda Swinton, Sufjan Stevens, Al Pacino, Adrien Brody, and Rooney Mara (who is so cute btw so don't you dare trash her). INFJ means that I am introverted, intuitive, feeling, and judging, and I'm sure you already know what all of these means so I don't have to explain it.

On Point?
For the most part yes. I'm almost always recognized as quiet, and it is really easy for me to cry about something small. Everything I can remember about my type is accurate; there is nothing (that I can remember) that I can't relate to. It doesn't really help me to better understand myself, since I already knew all of these things about myself.

Clarification
I don't really know how I can relate my personality type to how I act in a group, in my family, or basically anything else. That's definitely something I can't explain, I don't know why :<. However, somebody misunderstanding me is something that happens often. I have read that my type compliments people so much that it may sound like that person is flirting with everybody, and I worry about that constantly. About me "having issues" with other people? Definitely. I know someone who is a huge extravert, loud and proud. They argue with other people a lot, always thinking that they're in the right, which really bugs me, not just when I'm around them.

What I've Learned
I don't really think I've learned all that much from this, considering I have already learned about a lot of this stuff before we did this. :<

Golden Retriever
We also took the Lion/Otter/Golden Retriever/Beaver test to see which of these animals you are, and I got the golden retriever. It was surprisingly accurate; it said that I am very loyal, I look for security, I have deep relationships with a few close friends, looks for appreciation, wants to be loved by everyone, indecisive, calm, indifferent, and is too soft on other people. That is definitely me ok it's weird.
