Dice Champs

how to play dice champs:

1. get a dice (or two)

2. find a friend

3. pick how you want to play (add, plus, add 0's)

4. whoever says the number first gets a 

point 

what I mean is: you quickly add up the numbers or add a 0 or 1 or anything you chose and then quickly say the number (depending on what number you chose)

still doesn't make sense? Well, you can choose adding, subtracting or doubling.

Here I am playing with Connor.

Fern Flat Pottery

On Thursday, Totara class visited the pottery place called Fern Flat in Peria. There we made pottery and watched Rod and Margy (owners) make some. First we made a pig, then whatever we wanted; I made a Fox (of course) and Rod said that he'd fire it in the kiln for me! I'll have to go pick it up from his  workshop sometime. I can't wait! Dunno why, but I was kinda sad when he said we had to destroy everything. Not because I spent quite a while on it, but because I've grown quite attached to Foxes. I feel sad if anything bad happens to one. I just love them! Y'know when you get a pet and you just love it so much you don't want it to ever die or leave you? That's how I feel! BUT I'M IN NEW ZEALAND SO I CAN'T HAVE ONE!!! I should probably stop talking about Foxes now. Anyway... WOW! most of this is just about a Fox. Sorry. Rod made a bowl with a pottery wheel and Margy made a Fantail from a mould. Honestly, this was prolly one of the most satisfying  thing I've ever watched. A pottery wheel, spinning in circles. Round and round and round. Then he dropped it.

Well, that's it. Hope you all enjoyed this. See you next time... BYE!!

Creations on blender

4/5/20 For my passion project, i’ve created two scenes and a extrusion (sort of a 3D effect)


(these are the building blocks for an animation)

Usually, an animation could take days, weeks, months, or even years. And because I’m mostly teaching myself, it will take a LOT longer. So i’ve created two scenes and an extrusion tutorial for you.

My project will show you in stages how I have created my scenes and extruded using the newest version of Blender (animation software that I use) https://www.blender.org

First, you will need a rig (character) It will have to have all these controls you see on this image. You can import or make a rig. Import by hitting the File button in the corner and search for “Open” hit it and find the file.




To extrude, hit the select box button




And select the arm mesh





Then hit tab





It should then look like this





Select the square you want to extrude and hit “E” and extrude to your needs





If you want it to be square, select the edges





After you’ve done this, find this little menu by going into the top right corner and go down slowly until you get a drag icon





Drag out and you should see this menu.





Then select Mean Crease and set it to 1





When your done doing this to all the edges, it should look like this





This is pretty basic

For the head, it can be different. depending on how the rig it set up, it can sometimes go round.

First, select the head mesh





Simply tap it and it should highlight blue. Then hit tab and the heads outer layer should look like the arm did.


Then delete all the empty squares. To do this, select what you want to delete and hit “X” and a little menu should come. Hit the button that says “faces” then the squares should disappear. Then, select
