Hey guys! I made a new animation through a really cool 3D modeling program called SketchUp. I’ve been using it for years (4 to be exact) and I love it. Not only is it free, but its pretty advanced. Its made by Google, so you know its awesome. (see http://www.sketchup.com for download) Ok, now that I’m done with my SketchUp rant, let me tell you about My (almost) Dream House. In a perfect world, it would be a tad bigger and my property a little larger. I would have fence surrounding the property, not just the house (it was getting frisky and lagging). Also, it would be beach side, but ya know… Anyways, I can’t take credit for everything. I downloaded the trees and the fences and the fountain and stuff, but the house was my idea and my craftsmanship. I hope you love it as much as I do!

Hey Guys!!! Long time no see hahaha ok I’m done. In SketchUp today, I made a chair! Ya. Not too impressive, but I love it. I used a variety of tools to edit the legs of the chair, such as the Ruler, Rectangle tool, and the Follow Me tool. It was kinda hard! I put differents masks on the pieces, and I struggled getting the pattern to line up, so I improvised with dark gray. Also, I put a little design on the side of the chair. I love it! 

Hey Guys! I recently made a new Animation that I call Cat in the Hat. It’s about a cat that is walking around on a windy day and his hat blows away! Follow him on his  adventure to retrieve it!  I struggled a little bit in Keynote, the software we used, simply because it was a major transition from Illustrator to Keynote. The tools are very different and the abilities are different.  Thanks for your time, and i hope you like my little clip!
