At the time of my writing this post, I will have spent approximately twelve hours acclimating myself to the User Interface and functionality of the 3D modeling program Blender. Having no previous experience in 3D modeling, the first step - learning the functions of all the buttons and keys - was extremely difficult. The program is incredibly in-depth and contains innumerable functions and abilities, many of which I have yet to discover or use, even with the assistance of the super-helpful ebook tutorial, "Blender 3D: Noob to Pro".
Erica and I met the staff of Clemens Architecture today, with whom we will be working for the next few weeks to learn how 3D modeling is applied and used in architecture and architectural design. Suitably enough, the first exercise of the tutorial was to... wait for it... build a house. Of course, since it was the first tutorial, the house was basic and unextraordinary. And yet, finishing and rendering the image of the 3-dimensional house, was a satisfying feeling.

As I progress in the tutorial, I will be sure to post images of the projects that I finish along the way.
