This week I have started sketching out the model that I am going to do for the molecule Acetyl Coenzyme A or also know as Acetyl-CoA. This model that I am going to be making is a scale model so the focus on this project is not to have complex new shapes and modifiers in an animation but rather pay attention to the details of the shapes and making sure they are accurate to real life, so I will have to have accurate atom sizes for each of the atoms, accurate bond angles, and bond lengths. This will take extensive research and this is why I am spending lots of time planning out how this model will look on paper so the transition from paper to 3Ds Max is seamless and easy. I am using my AP Chemistry teacher to help me make sure the drawing of Acetyl-CoA is accurate and helping me visualize how the atom looks so I can model it in 3Ds Max. The problems I faced this week was the making of the drawing of Acetyl-CoA which has a formula of C22H38N7O17P3S and not knowing about how organic compounds are written I had to learn about the locations of Carbons and Hydrogen and that how carbons in organic compounds want to make 4 bounds so you fill in Hydrogen for all carbons that don't have 4 bounds already. Next Weeks Goals:
-Finish the drawing and have it approved -Re-draw approved drawing -Model atoms with accurate atomic radii
