Arcade Machine review:
In my class we did a project to create an arcade machine, there were more things that I wanted to add such as a joy stick and add an image on the screen, but I managed to add my logo, put buttons and added color to the arcade machine. I used 3ds MAX, to create the screen was the trickiest part, I used inset, turned on soft selection then dragged it out, also joining the 2 shapes was tricky because I made a mistake and the 2 shapes wouldn't join together, they would all join to 1 point so I had to start again.
The positive things about this project is that its 3D and I like doing it and it was fairly easy, the 3ds MAX software is easy to use, creating the button was fast and easy, I was kinda slow working but if i had another chance I think I could complete it, we didn't have enough time because we had a few problems with the internet so we could collect images and get more of an idea of how we want our arcade machine to look like. As it was our 1st project I got more of an idea of how the software works, I also liked the fact that we had to use different softwares.
The negative things about the project is some things like curving the shape made it confusing because some corners were curving and some weren't, also I didn't have much practice with the software, even tho it easy to use, I still kept forgetting the explanation because I wasn't writing any notes down which made it harder to use the software.
For next time i will set myself a target of finishing the work on time and know how to work with this setup properly.
