Final Report

Today I continued the report. Its been hard remembering to continue progress on the report with all the technical work I still have left to do. Along with the interim report, there is around 3000-4000 words now complete of the report. I plan to have the draft report sent off by the end of week, early next week at the latest. Hopefully this version will contain at least 8000 words.

Im not struglling at all with material to write about in the report, hence why I have left it late to really get started. I have spent so much time on my project that I could write forever about it! Its more like I have the report in my mind and I just have to write it down rather than create it from scratch.

Progress on Car 2

The exterior for the second car is nearing completion. It needs a few more things added, a few smoothing issues sorted and of course to be textured.

And so Easter begins...

After the rush that was the end of Spring term and a week of rest, its time to resume the project. Work last term wasnt great. The modules that ran where very hard and time consuming. I now have 6 weeks to get this done and im ready for the challenge!

I thought it was about time to start the website. Im using Dreamweaver and ill be writing the site in XHTML. The first thing that I have done is create a logo for my fictional car company. It is shown below (JET is my initials). The logo was created using Photoshop and the metalic effect was obtained from this tutorial.

There is a strange problem with the logo however. The outer circl of the logo is not perfect, despite holding the shift key (which the photoshop manual says creates a perfect circle). Its looking ok though, so ill press on with the site before worrying about minor details.

End of Term Approaches

It is now wednesday of week 9, I have 2 deadlines due in next week and I have to work a lot to get these finished. Therefore the project is on hold until the easter break begins. I managed to get another car done after my last post which was good and I have negotiated with my supervisor that he is happy to recieve my draft report throughtout easter. I will aim to have it to him by the end of the second week.

Time to finish the cars!

Ive decided that this week I will complete all the cars that I need for the showroom. It may take a lot of all nighters, but it needs to get done! Its been a lot more difficult than I expected balancing my project with the other course modules. The 3D web applications course is essentially a less detailed version of my final project.

If I can get these cars done by the end of the week, I can take some pressure off myself. It also means that I will have finished half the work for the 3D web apps course.
