Biospace Omega









This is the last of the Bio-vironment buildings for now. After this, I'm going to start designing other types of structures. However, this one has a lot more detail than any previous attempts, including elevators, ground floor entrances for vehicles, well defined growing spaces, and even a dining area with chair/table sets I uploaded from Sketchup.



I think I've realized why I like Sketchup so much. I have always considered myself an artistic person, I'm creative, and I can picture very pretty things in my head. Alas, putting them down on paper has always been all but impossible for me. Therefore, sketchup offers me a unique opporunity to take something I envision in my mind and bring it to life. I don't need to struggle with a ruler and pencil to draw a 13 foot horizontal line for a building, I can just bust out the line tool, make it turn red and then type 13' and I will have the line I need.
This has allowed me to take on some of the artistic portions of this project, if everything goes well, I can produce models for all the architecture in Oort Cloud, and take that burden off of Meaghan. I also want to start trying to storyboard, but I think I will stick with Sketchup until I can produce wonderful, wonderful things.



I start back at school in just a few weeks, and I've begun to think a lot about my future. I think when people start to take a tally of their lives so far, one of the best things they can do is quantify what they've done well in their life, They can then use that information to sculpt out where they are, and where they think they can go. At the forefront are my skills as a writer, I have always had it in my capacity to craft a clever and unique story, and I've always had a talent for creating a wider world to set that story into.



Just after this however, in my list of things I have done successfully, has been my success in building a network of talented peers. I am fascinated by the talent of my generation. I don't think I have lost track of a single adept person I met during my years in school. I feel like the 18-25 year olds of today are destined to leave their on mark on the world, and I have always felt that I owe it to my peers to leave an impact as well.
