Game Of The Day:
http://www.hiddenninjagames.com/flash-arcade-game.php?gameid=250&gamename=Music%20Catch%202


Questions:
- Describe your experience playing the game. Was it boring/addicting/soothing/enjoyable?
- This game is meant to be more of a relaxing experience than a tactical/strategic one. What are some of the traits of the game that make it this way?
- If you could, how would you improve this game?



The first thing we learned last class was how to create more textures by using the "content browser" under "windows" in the top menu. Inside the content browser, we went under "presets" and "cinema4d" to find all our materials. I encourage you to explore and experiment with other things inside the content browser. 


Next, we continued to experiment with multiple animations with textures applied. After that, we leaned how to create a spline with the Bezier and Freehand tools, and add a radius to them (using the Circle or other spline tool) so that we could then use sweep nurbs to convert our splines into 3D objects, such as pipes and any geometry that might need to be long and tube-like. Then, we also experimented with hyper nurbs; we created a simple box, then put it through the process of hyper nurbs to see the difference and how we can create a more complex models by using this option. 



Last but not least, we learned how to cut out geometry using the Knife tool. We must make sure we have our geometry editable and are set to select points, so that when we right click we can knife the object, which offers us the option to add more complexity to a simple piece of geometry.
