Jan Jinda is a 3D modeler who worked for the movie: Dunkirk. She got to model some of the scenes with the warships in them.She uses the same software that we use 3Ds Max. I personally find this aspect inspiring because she modeled something real. If I would ever use modeling in the work place it would be to market a product.I admire the amount of detail it takes to model something like a warship which she did. Although she did this for a movie it made me realize that I could potentially use 3D modeling to pitch a design for a new warship to the U.S Navy or a new style of tank to the Army. By the end of the School year I am going to try and emulate her work by Modeling a U.S Navy aircraft carrier. To do this I will improve on my texturing skills and advanced compound object modeling techniques, and will combine everything I learn through out the year.

Another handy Compound Object tool in the loft tool.The Loft tool lets you create a 3D shape on a line. You draw the 2D shape and then you draw a line. You Select the line and click loft then get shape and click on the shape. You can set a percentage for example if you selected 50 only half of that line will be affected. This is really good for making tools such as screwdrivers and hammers because you can control each segment of the line. So i can get the texture of a screwdriver and have it get thinner and thinner. Or for a hammer where you need different sized circles for the handle and the hammer part.I believe that the Loft tool is a tool I will end up using more frequently.Below is a hammer I modeled with the Loft technique.
So over the last month I have been working in 3Ds Max using splines and compound objects to create 3D objects. One of the tools that I found the most useful was the scatter function. This function allows you to select an object for example a plane then lets you click on an object and it randomly duplicates the object all over the object that you selected prior.This is helpful because it can let you randomly place rocks or trees in a scene. I had to use scatter to make a cactus. I used the Scatter on the needles and the rocks.See below for the Cactus I modeled.
