I am Sarah Papajohn for the group, The Independent Women. Christina and Lucy are the two other people in my group. When my group was in the cave we decided to make a neighborhood. So far we have the beginning of a blue house. Making shapes and changing colors are very easy to do. It is also pretty easy to control the program and work with it. I encountered problems in not very much, I'm just worried we won't get very much done because we work so slow. I was wondering if the spotlight will always show or if you can get rid of it. Next week I hope to accomplish making a few more houses or at least finishing the one we started.

Last Tuesday at the CAVE we continued making our virtual house. Sarah, Lucy, and I made a roof, gave it texture and started grouping everything together. We also deleted the spotlight, made a window, and created a door. Next week, since we only have two more sessions left, wešre going to finish grouping and then clone the house a few times. After wešre done cloning, wešre going to make each house unique by changing itšs colors
Ųand textures. The last week we have at the CAVE we will fine tune everything and maybe clone another house if itšs possible. I really wish we had more time, because then we could turn our plans for a few houses into plans for a large neighborhood.

Windows are all white or other light color
Doors are all wood

Cave Visit #2
I am in the group Independent Woman. The 2 other people in my group are Lucy Barnes and Christina Byrne. Last Tuesday when we were at the cave we made the roof, windows, and door. We also got rid of our spotlight and grouped the house together into one piece. Next week I hope that we accomplish finishing our first house and clone a bunch of other houses. Then we will need to change the colors of the houses nd make it look more like a nieighborhood. I hope we can get all this stuff done next week.

CAVE VISIT #2 by Lucy Barnes

My group includes me, Lucenda Barnes and two other people...Christina Byrne and Sarah Papajohn.
Our second visit to the caves was better, for me in particular, because I didn't get a chance to use the wand to create the shapes on our first on but this time I did.
I had a pretty good time limit and got a lot done. btw we are building a house and maybe a few other things.

What we are trying to do is make one house...then duplicate it to start our neighborhood then maybe if we have enough time blocks, make other things, but I doubt that. We'll see what happens in the end.
We have 2 more trips to the cave to finish our project. In that period of time we have to figure out all the textures we want and colors and lighting which will probably take a while with three people with so many different ideas. I'm sure we'll be able to do it!

Altogether we are doing good now and hopefully our village will turn out great.
