This assignment while still tedious was much less frustrating then app inventor. As expected at first the shapes were very easy with the PVC pipe and egg but they did get harder as they went on. The main problem that I had with modeling things was when you had to any amount of fine detail on something. Things like the little square on the bottom of the floppy disk and the details on the glasses were particularly hard with the grid system. There were many times where I need something to be about half a block left of right in order to fit perfectly.
At one point while working on the glasses I rand into a problem when I was adjusted a shape that I had heavily edited and as I was trying to change its height and I think tinker cad had a stroke and my entire screen went black. After a couple seconds just my browser window was black, so I closed the window and opened it again thinking that I had lost all my progress but fortunately tinker cad saved most of it and I didn’t have to start completely over. I know we’ve been warned about how terrible the next part is but I’m excited to start working on the next part of 3d modeling.
