So, today we covered the basics of Blender, which involved us learning about in detail the user interface. With a vast array of functions available we're still obviously learning by doing, but so far we feel confident in our ability to create basic objects such as cubes, spheres and cones. We also covered the immense amount of different hot keys and shortcuts available to us which will (hopefully) allow us to work much faster when we become proficient with the program. After learning these basics we created a cannon from a simple cylinder and gave it a spherical base (just to add a hint of realism, if you can call our cannon realistic at all). We then proceeded to (or feebly attempt at first) to get the cannon to fire a simple cannon ball. Our results can be seen below in all their pectorial beauty! (Along with some others that show us creating new lights and assigning different colours, extrusion, texturing and smooth shading!)
