MT35101 Class 9 - Virtual Tours and Fishing




Arggghhh!! Second Life is not updated on the class computers! Saving to Word and will need to save in GIMP later.








So we did a little fishing..... (didn't catch anything, but you should have seen the one that got away!)














And shopped for some really high priced condos. The 360 tours were really nice, but I would hope seeing these apartments in person would be a bit more convincing if I was going tospend that kind of money!





































MT35101 Class 8- Shockwave

Playing with Shockwave was a fun class. Adding animations will prove to be key for me when I am creating business presentations that I want to be captivating and a bit entertaining. Got to catch the clients' eyes!

MT35101 Class 7 - Layers

A little introduction to layering in GIMP and a little bit of fun poked at George Bush! Sorry, but I can't help myself. Was able to add textboxes, text, layer images, and modify colors.

MT35101 Class 10 - SketchUp and Camping




This was pretty easy for my first shot at 3D. The tools I used were straight-forward and the simple chair came together, or apart I guess. With some simple manipulations of the push/pull tool. More tools to be used on my house!


Update - I did a little more with the chair and was pretty successful with the house! I used more tools on the house, including textures, colors, and some freehand drawing (tough!). I tried to be pretty detailed.....okay, maybe too detailed. Depth was definitely a problem. Is it possible to make the sun in a fixed position? Here are the links to both files:




Now I tried camping in order to earn some lindens, but I don't have time to sit on a bench for hours. I asked a number of people about earning money but they weren't much help unless I wanted to do something questionable. And I was scared off by some of the ATM machines that indicated you could earn money by answering surveys. As soon as they were looking for a credit card I backed away.
