Rebecca's Blog: Final #3

This is a set of screenshots showing my class working on building a house together in Cloud Party Time. 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.

Here I am just getting started. I offered to build the porch, not realizing how tedious it would be. I'm taking long blocks of wood and rotating them beside one of the walls of the house:

This is me in the midst of rotating one of the long blocks. Since we were building on a slight hill, it made it slightly challenging to build the porch, but it just meant that some of the blocks of wood were slightly sunken into the ground.

Here's another image of me rotating wood to build the porch. I'm surrounded by my construction cloud classmates as we're all hard at work.

Oh, imagine that yet another image of me rotating wood. I didn't realize until later that it was possible to copy objects so I could have saved a ton of time! D'oh! Some of my classmates are helping out and adding details to make the porch prettier.

Here's a shot of the side of the house. After building the porch, I added some metal balls and glass tubes for the fun of it.

Taking a look at the porch from another angle. Right around then, my classmates and I decided to add on to it, but most of us found that we had reached maximum capacity for the number of objects that we could build. In this shot you can also see the name of stranger Jesse Thompson who came over and walked around our house. Creeper. He also stood around and watched our building process. He was probably one of the people who helped to build the amazing pool, soccer field, and mini golf arena nearby.

A few of us are standing back and admiring the house. My favorite part about this image is that it looks like the gargoyle in the right is playing soccer.
