Ever since I was a little kid I have wanted to go to London, so when I heard we had a chance to make the London Bridge, a car, or a nested dodecahedron, it was a no-brainer to make the London Bridge. It only took me about a day or two and it wasn't that hard since I was just following a tutorial, but it was still fun none the less. I started with one of the towers and created some cylinders to put on the outside. The top of the first tower is just made of two boxes and one of them is just made to look like its sharp on the top. Then you put cones on the tips of the cylinders. I put a cross on top of the cones. After that you go to the bottom of the tower and make another very big cylinder and drag it out to make it fit the entire bottom. After that I created half a cylinder and extrude it out to make the holes in the towers that the cars go through. Then you boolean it and subtract it to make the actual hole. After that you duplicate the tower and move it 850 centimeters to the side. The rest is the more simple part you just created three planes as the bridge, one for the road and two for the walls. The last part is creating the supports on the sides. I used a spline for all of the lines and made the parameters thicker and rounder to make it look like wire. I then duplicated it for all four sides. and attached everything together. Overall I think this assignment was pretty fun and it helped me get a lot better with parametric modeling and I hope we do more things like this in the future.

This week in Game Design II, we have been creating three different types of houses and different other things to create our own neighborhood. We had to create our own lamp posts, fire hydrant, mailbox, trashcan, a sidewalk, a road, and a grass material. This whole process for me took about a week and the hard part was just putting everything together and making the neighborhood look good. Making the houses were pretty fun because we had our own creativity in the designs of our houses and my first house was following a tutorial, my second had giant windows on three of the four sides, and my third one was more of a normal one with some better looking things. Making the lamp post and things were easy to do while using splines and cylinders. The lamp post I made by just using two cylinders, one with a bend modifier, and half an oval as the actual light. I made the trash can with a spline and a lathe modifier. The mailbox I made by using a cylinder and extruding a spline for the actual box. The fire hydrant I made by making the base with a spline and lathe, then the parts on the sides are two cylinders duplicated for both sides. This week for our blog post we were assigned to watch a movie that originated from a video game. Most movies that fit that category were from video games I had never played before like Resident Evil and Mortal Kombat, so one of the only ones I could find was The Angry Birds Movie. The Angry Birds Movie overall wasn't really the worst thing ever to watch but I'm still just confused on why they decided to make it in the first place and why they're deciding to make a second one. Since Angry Birds, the game, is such a simple concept, making a movie about it will definitely have to sway from the original material a little bit. The movie is basically all about the pigs coming to Bird Island and stealing the bird's eggs from the birds and how they have to go save them. In the game you have to save the eggs from the pigs by using a slingshot to hurl yourself at them and basically kamikaze piloting them. In the movie they use a slingshot in one scene to go over the walls of the pig's base and into the building to save the eggs and at the end of the day the good guys win. All in all this movie is just like pointless to me because when this movie came out, the whole Angry Birds phase was already over and gone for like a year and now there's a second one coming out in 2019 and I really don't know what they can even expand on with that one. Excellent Movie: 10/10.
