Last year we started to learn how to use the 3d modeling program 3d Studio Max and spent about one semester on learning modeling and animating using 3ds Max we made things from simple eyes to complex spaceships that we textured our self then used the spaceship that we had created and animated it several scenes. This year we have started to use 3ds max again but this year we our focusing on rigging characters that we make then skinning them like you were to do if you were making a game. For me the hardest part is learning all of the pieces that I need to know because what we are doing isn't as easy as what we did last year. For example we have a few lessons that help us understand hierarchy and the bone tool. Then with the knowledge from last year we have to rig a model and make a 5 second animation. Lucky for me the idea of how the hierarchy of an object when it is rigged was easy to get but actually rigging the models is where i'm experiencing the most difficulty.

Over the past week we have come up with game ideas and pitched them in class. After we as a class decided which of the games we would want to produce ourselves we were given that task of designing one of the games as a group. The easiest part about the whole process is that we don't have to come up with another idea there is already one in place for us. The hardest part is getting everything done in such a small amount of time especially since this is my first time making a game. While working with my team I was surprised at how organized we were and how effectively we could get something done and if we didn't know what to do I could bounce questions of my teammates. The project in general is a fun and challenging item for us to do and is the first time this year were we have to produce something while working in a group. Currently I have been designing the game board and helping with the cards. I think that the team works well together but there is an underlining level of stress that we all have due to the dead line.
