At the end of the class we had a show and tell and each kid would stand up in front of their creation and tell us about what they made and their diet etc.Īll The kids awesome creations they showed during show and tell. The class was going great but then some laptops were dying due to low battery so I ran next door again to get some battery chargers, luckily sculptris saves things even during a sudden shut down. My example I used again for the primary kids. Since kids have a short attention span, I thought it would be a good idea to show them how to add texture to their models and paint them, but to my surprise some kids had already worked it out on their own.Īll the kids were enjoying the program except one who didn’t seem that interested and looked depressed so I tried to cheer him up, I tried asking him if he had a favorite show or cartoon or anything that he liked to get him into the creative mood but it proved noneffective and there was nothing I could do, but I think eventually he did start to come around. Instead of instructing them on the computer I walked around and helped each kid and borrowed the computer again when there was something I needed to show the class. I tried to show them how to model something easy like a face but the kids were too busy making their own creations and since one of the kids had no computer and was watching his friend use the program I let him take over the computer I was using. ![]() The children wanted to learn how to model a dragon like the one I showed but I told them it would be too advanced and that we should start simple. But I only had to show them the basics of it such as the push and pull tool and they picked up the rest really fast on their own, Most of the time they didn’t really watch me but when I showed them my example I made of a dragon they all were instantly watching and asking questions. I was worried about how challenging it would be to teach primary kids between the age of 6-10 years old, since I’d need to simplify my lesson a lot from the thorough plan I had when I taught the seniors sculptris. Before we knew it the room was flooded with kids, I started to get ready to teach but the kids were already into the program and having fun exploring it. Dan helped me gather the laptops from next door and set them up in preparation for our big class as we were told we’d have up to eight to nine students. Since Dan didn’t know how to use the program, I arrived early to give him a quick lesson on the tools in Sculptris before the kids arrived. I agreed since I had never taught the primary kids before and I was happy to help out, I wasn’t sure what to expect but I was excited to teach the primary kids. ![]() I’m happy with how my first completed 3D face turned out (though I feel I could make it creepier).Dan’s lesson plan couldn’t go through today due to software problems, so on the night before our visit, I was asked to teach the primary kids Sculptris. Eyes can smile or not smile along with the mouth when they don’t it is a chilling expression. I really wanted to focus on a confusing, frightening expression, and I would like to have eyes included, but this way it doesn’t allow to eyes to show expression at all. The face is very exaggerated, as the Joker’s is in comic books, and I left the eyes blank. ![]() I was never great at sculpting, so I thought I’d find this really difficult, but once it was running smoothly, I stopped worrying about doing too many little details in case it crashed, and just sculpted whatever I wanted to on the face, down to the hair and teeth. I came back into college to use Sculptris again the next Wednesday and in the other room it worked well! I made a Plasticine, Joker-like face in Tony’s the other week, so I did that again, but with a lot more time put in digitally. Smoothing adds poly’s to your model, so there is a reduce tool brush which lowers the polys to keep the model even, and stop risking Sculptris crashing, which kept happening to me in lesson. You begin with a sphere shape, which you can use the tools to morph into anything you want. The other week in Tony’s lesson he introduced us to the software called Sculptris which is a simpler version of Mudbox.
