Building in Cloud Party Time

This is a set of screenshots showing me building a sculpture in Cloud Party Time for Final #2. It is a final exercise from the Immersive Education course that I am taking at Boston College. The course is called Discovering Computer Graphics. For details, visit the immersive BC portal at http://ImmersiveEducation.org/@/bc. 

In order to start my sculpture, I found a relatively quiet place and placed two wooden cylinders on the ground.

I've added a long block to place on top of the cylinders.  I flipped in and then used the move function to get it into position.  It's interesting having to walk all around the structure to make sure that everything's in place.  Definitely not something I had to do in Gimp.

 
Now I'm adding large triangles on either side of the wooden cylinder so I can work more with flipping objects and moving them.  I'm trying to be pretty precise, so I'm also entering numbers at the top under the X, Y, and Z spots so I have more control over the objects.

I've added a tube on top and then placed a couple of balls in there.  Here I am moving one of the balls around.  I really had no reason to add this other than I really wanted to use these materials.  I've apparently built a modern version of Stonehenge.

Now I've added a couple of triangles on one of the sides.  I'm not sure why, but it's looking like a really funky doorway.

 I've added a cannon for some reason.  It's a strange choice as I'm very anti-guns, but I'll just go with it.  Here I am tilting it at an angle so I can rest the wheels on the triangles.

Here's my final product.  I guess it goes to show that sometimes you have no idea what the end result will be until you get there.  I also learned how frustrating it can be to put things together without the ease of being able to use ctrl-z to undo.
