DVC - Rendering Internal AS91066

 In DVC we had started our rendering internal. The internal requires us to render our bottle using colors to communicate what material is our bottle and many other things. This bottle was based off our initial design at the start of the year which we had to include a filtration system as well.

AS91066

What did you like?

I like coloring in my bottle and using colors to communicate what kind of bottle it is. This means telling the viewer what kind of material the bottle is made out of, and stuff like if it's transparent or not.

What didn't you like?

I didn't like how my bottle was designed as it made the rendering process hard. This was also my first time rendering as well so that didn't help. how shadows worked are complicated as well.

How do you like it? Is there any feedback?

I found the process kind of fun but it was annoying as I didn't know what looked good or not. I also didn't know what shadows are supposed to work as well.

Next time we could learn some rendering skills before doing our rendering internal.

The greenhouse effect is a process where the radiation from the sun gets trapped inside in a atmosphere making it warmer. 

Effects of global warming - More diseases as the temperature will get warmer allowing tropical animals to live longer, different weather patterns such as cyclones may happen more commonly, ice might spread as Antarctica will melt, and many more.

What is the solution to climate change - Preventing the burning of fossil fuels, transportation also causes greenhouse gases, preventing the cutting of trees, and lots more can be done.

Today at English, we looked at a video on a girl who talked about climate change and how people are relying on children to do something about climate change. This girl was Greta Thunberg and nothing really interested me since I don't really know anything about climate change other than change in temperature.

The Presenter suggested the point of view on how Greta Thunberg is idiot.
