Questions lead to new ideas and thoughts on what I can create....

I was on youtube this time... web surfing for some Cinema 4D shorts so I could see what other people have created with the program. I came across Nedy's Dream. In the first few seconds I had questions for my professor. There are so many things that the program is capable of that, unless I sit for hours and play with all the buttons, I would never know about. After watching him float into the planet then (as it would appear) enter into the inside of the planet and it is purple with stuff floating around him. Until this moment I was unaware that you could edit the inside of an object's material. 

After getting a tutorial from my professor (I asked him to show me how to do this) I realized that it is as simple as applying a material and applying to the bottom vs the top of the object. Something that I never had the need to know till now. Things like this excite me when it comes to learning this program. I watch shorts when I have spare time because when I see things happen that I am confused about I write them down and want to come to school and get the tutorial the next day. When I first started using this program I was very intimidated by it and felt like it was going to be impossible to learn. Now that I have played with it and am feeling a little more confident I am constantly wanting to learn more and play more in the program. I have become very interested (and although still intimidated a little) in seeing just how far I can go in this program.

Thanks to my professor Mr. Williams for carrying me through the animation part of this program and keeping my head up when I felt like giving up on it. :)
