3RD Marking Period

In this marking period we are going to use Google Sketch Up to create amazing figures. While using Sketch Up we are going to learn how to use the Rectangular tool, Push/Pull tool, Line tool, Orbit, Tape Measurement, Paint Bucket, Offset, Arc, Dimensions, Standard Views, and Eraser. All those tool make our work easier. The rectangular tool make specific dimensions. The push/pull make your figures 3D. Line tool create lines. The Orbit rotate your figure 360 degrees. The tape measurement make a guide line to the exact measurement that you want. The Paint Bucket paint your figures with different colors by giving you different categories of textures. Offset make a replica of your line or arc, but it can be smaller or bigger. Dimensions give you the exact dimensions of your figure. Standard views give you different prospectives of your creation. To finalize, the only tool that can erase your errors to create a wonderful figure is the ERASER.

23: 3D House

To do this house I use Google sketch Up. To create the base of the house I made a rectangle and I used the push/pull to create the form of the house. Then I did the roof by using the pencil to get the inclination. To create the door I placed another rectangle in the base and then I used the push/pull to push the wall back. I did the same to the window. After having the space for the doors and windows, I   made the frame. To finalize the house I added some detailed such as the fences, car, person, and colors to make it more realistic. 

To create a 3D House I use Adobe Photoshop. 

• First open Adobe Photoshop and create a new file. 
•  Then create a new layer and call it foreground.
•  The foreground layer will be the 3D layer, while the background is going to be the 2D layer. The 2D layer will add the illusion of depth to the image. 
• In the background add the image of your choices and in the foreground add the house or object that is going to be 3D.  
• Now, duplicate the foreground layer and  name the new layer "Red". 
•  Nudge the "Red" layer to the right or to the left.
• Double click on the "Red" layer and uncheck the "G" and "B" channels.
• Do the same thing to the Foreground layer, but this time only uncheck the "R" channel. 

That's it for now stay tune for more reviews!!

25: POWER BUTTON 

To do this power button I use Adobe Photoshop.

• Fist, add gradient to the background.
• Then, create two circles and add different effects to them as we use to do on the First marking period.
• Now that you have the button complete search for a power symbol.
• Add some effect to the symbol.
• create another group and change the color of the power symbol.
• Hide the effect group leaving the other group visible then go to the animation panel “Window > Animation”, the animation panel should appear at the bottom of the canvas, select the little grey arrow on the right hand side then select “Convert To Frame Animation”.
• In the animation window select “Duplicate Frame”, the first frame should have the normal state of the button with the glowing group hidden. On frame two you should have the normal state of the button group hidden and the glowing group visible. Simply use the normal way of hiding and unhiding the layers with the little eye button on the layer.
•  Now select both frames by clicking whilst holding down the “Ctrl Key” on the keyboard, once both frames are selected select the little grey arrow again and select “Tween”.
• When you press OK you will have 5 new layers containing the animation, if you press play you can see the animation in action. At the end of the animation you will notice how it jumps back to the beginning. To make the animation seamless select all 7 layers.

Showcase Sony console

I created a Showcase using Adobe Photoshop. To do a showcase you need to use the Rectangular Marquee Tool, Rectangle Tool, Elliptical Marquee Tool, and different gradients to make the effects of the lights. To create the base of the showcase, I had use guides lines to create the perfect set for the showcase. Go to View and Rulers to state those guide lines. After you have the 5 rectangles go to Edit- Transform-and-Perspective to adjust the corners of the rectangles in the outside. Perspective made the inside corners to become 3D corners. At this point I added different  Layer Styles to make the showcase 3D alike. To create the illumination I used the Elliptical Marquee Tool, then I change the opacity and I added Gaussian Blur to make it softer.  To finalize, I search for a model for the showcase, After I had 3 different sides or angles of the object I opened then. Now that the images are open I eliminate the background by selecting the image and selecting inverse. Now that I have inverse the selection, I copy and paste the image in the Showcase. If their is any kind of mistake in the image, I use the eraser to eliminate it.
