For this iteration I was able to accomplish my goal in making the tools look more realistic with a metallic finish on them. Although by the time we are discussing this I still haven’t pushed it into the 3D environment I am working on that in the next couple of days. I was able to show Dr.G the models and get some feed back from him about them and I am changing some of the shadings to make it more to what they are expecting.
I spent my 24 hrs modeling more of the tools to make them look more realistic, that took about 4 hrs to make them look more detailed. Then it took me another 4 hrs to get the shading right of the metallic look, although I could have done it in less time some of the textures kept making my computer lag and tool longer. I spent time researching how to make the model move so it makes it more appealing to the student, I took about 3hrs to research and then another 2 hrs to try it on a different file. I sent the file over to Dr.G to get his feedback and in the mean time I took the time to research about modeling the tooth that was sent to me, which took about 2hrs for that. I went looking for programs to model the tooth so that we can have a multi layer tooth and that took about 1hr. The other 4hrs I spent time talking with Dr. G and a company that will be helping with 3D printing as well as taking the input about the tools. I started working on the updates on the tools for 1hr but the next 3hrs I will be working on in the next couple of days.
