House+Extras

9-22-09 Josh Today we continued work on our house in Blender. Some of us are already done. You can add extra items to your house environment to make it come to life. If your house is not complete, go to rcampus.com, and go to the Comp Animation class page, then go to shared docs and open up the house tutorial. One idea is a road; you can make a road by inserting a plane and stretching it out on the x-axis. Then make the road a new material and change the color to black. You could also add a mailbox. Go into edit mode and insert a cube, deselect all the vertices with the A-key, use box mode with B-key and select the bottom vertices. Then extrude them with the E-key and resize them to the size of a mailbox post. Then extrude them again but drag them down this time, now you have a mailbox. You can go back to object mode and place it in front of you house.
