Intro To The ProjectThe project we were assigned was to create a 3D chess set, in 3Ds Max. We could use any of the techniques we have learned over the past couple of weeks. I myself mainly used the Lathe (creates a 3D object by rotating around an axis) tool to make my chess pieces. And of course, we had to make a 3D chessboard, which was very simple to make, especially if you followed the tutorial provided. The whole project to me about a week to complete. Difficulties I would've finished the project way earlier than when I turned it I, but I was stuck on how to make the Knight chess piece. While working on the Knight, I was following this tutorial that was provided to help us with making the chess piece. I think the problem was that since I was using a different reference image. The model turned out very different from the one in the tutorial. Eventually, I gave up on using the Lathe modifier, and just outlined the image with the line tool and extruded. SourcesSummary

What Catches My EyeThe new "Battle Royale" type game mode in Call Of Duty BO4 is something that has never been incorporated into a Call Of Duty game before. Blackout is what the game mode is called. "Call of Duty’s responsive and forgiving gunplay, nimble movement, and creative but practical equipment fit beautifully into the trendy last man standing format."(IGN). Even though Call Of Duty's "Blackout", battle royale mode, hasn't surpassed other battle royale games, such as Fortnite and Player Unknown's Battle Grounds. It still is a very innovative and creative way to get people to return to playing Call Of Duty. New MechanicsThinking back to Black Ops 3, in multiplayer, there were characters that you could choose also known as "specialist". With these specialists bring their special weapons that you eventually earn throughout the match. Treyarch kept this same concept in making the multiplayer. They have kept some specialist and have taken some out, while also adding new specialist into the game. My specific new item in multiplayer is the grappling gun. Some items are only available with some specialist. The "Tempest" is my opinion, is one of the best specialist weapons to use, especially in multiplayer. The Tempest comes with the "Prophet" specialist, the weapon stuns your enemy long enough for either you or your teammate to eliminate them. Gameplay"SMGs and automatic assault rifles seem to be the unsurprising go-to weapons in Black Ops 4, as automatic weapons with a high rate of fire tend to be popular in Call of Duty. Many of the 14 maps feature tighter corridors that give those rapid-fire automatic weapons the edge"(IGN). I rarely see people use sniper rifles in BO4 especially because of these small and crowded map designs."The ultimate Call of Duty multiplayer experience"(Metacritic). BO4 feels very "real" in terms of actually shooting the weapon you're using. "From assault rifles to sniper rifles, the weapons you fire have a sense of weight and kick that we’ve only seen from a handful of other first-person shooters, and every kill in a match feels earned(digitaltrends).

What Is Lathe? Lathe creates a 3D object by rotating a shape or NURBS curve about an axis. For example, say if I used the line tool, to create a 2D version of half of a wine glass. First, though, you need to make sure that you are doing all of this in the front viewport in the scene. After I have made half of the wine glass, I will convert my line into an editable spline. Then choose the lathe modifier and it will rotate my shape around the y-axis and create the whole 3D wine glass object. The Lathe modifier so far is my favorite modifier. A Romantic Evening While using nothing but the Lathe modifier. I made a whole romantic dinner set, including, 2 candlesticks with candles in each, a plate, a salad bowl, a wine glass, a water glass, a coffee cup and saucer, fork, spoon, knife, napkin, and a table. Some of the most difficult things that I had problems with was making the coffee cup and saucer. I couldn't find a way to make a hole in the handle part of the coffee cup. Then, by the time some of my classmates found a way to do it, there wasn't enough time for me to finish the model. Except for that, creating the romantic scene was very interesting and a great experience for me.
