Sculptris

A new 3D modeling program called Sculptris has just been released. The program is in the alpha stage, meaning  its in the very first stage of software testing, but it's still a very powerful tool, and more importantly free! It's very easy to use, especially compared to most 3D software available now, and is operated solely by mouse. Try it out: http://drpetter.se/project_sculpt.html

3A & 3B - Construction Projects

In 3rd grade we have been working on some building and 3d construction. In addition to taking a cursory look at Google Sketchup, we did a project in which students are required to work as groups to build a city on a small cardboard boxtop 'island.'
