A few problems have occurred while trying to do this , there are a few twists on the track and the some the track curves off to one side , something I will have to ask andy to take a look at
Wireframe. 



The cart is coming along nicely (ish) even though my peers have done much better cart designs , i am quite proud of this.



Were are into week three of animation and I can safely say that animation is not for me , I just do not get one bit , give me DIV tags and single column website layouts any day of the week , so far into it I hear you ask , not very much , I have design the building and the track (need apply  a sweep modifier for the third time after the first track I designed had disappeared and the second track file was corrupted)  and I am begging to design my cart but I again my struggling to do that as the instructions on the website are not very clear , and I think video walkthroughs instead of screenshot would be 10x more helpful. I think I need to contact Andy on this one.  I am not happy.

So we are on to our last project for the year , which is 3D Animation and to be honest i have heard nothing but dread from my fellow students concerning this project , As task is as follows: Design, build and animate an amusement park, terror, haunted castle/house ride to fit into the Waverley Theatre with 2-3 scare scenes. It seems simple enough, but there is a lot of work required to get the maximum output from this task.

In the first week, we have learn the basics of building the rollercoaster track, the angles and logistics of the Waverley building , to my surprise I managed to quickly pick the skills needed for this and wasn’t too confused by the end of the session . i have already decided on a theme for my ride , it will be ancient Egypt , thje kind of look i am going for can be best explained in the video below.
