Let’s do some Sculpting in Blender to Make a Drippy Wax Candle
  • Control + R: will remesh the object (remeshing helps keep your quads looking good and not stretched – you can remesh anytime you think your geometry looks stretched
  • Vocab – Voxels: A voxel is a three-dimensional (3D) pixel that represents a value on a regular grid in a 3D space
  • Holding Shift: Holding shift while sculpting smooths the surface of the mesh by decreasing the difference between creases and valleys
  • Simple Deform Modifier – for bending the candle wick
  • Subdivision Surface Modifier – for adding extra geometry
  • Proportional Editing for a more organic look when moving the mesh around

11:50 – 12:25 Web Hosting –

Yesterday we talked briefly (and a short video) on what a DNS or Domain Name Server is. And, now that you know a little more about what lies behind a Domain Name. Let’s investigate how to purchase a domain name from a few reputable providers.

  1. GoDaddy
  2. NameCheap
  3. BlueHost
  4. NetworkSolutions
how an http becomes an https using SSL

Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) is an encryption security protocol that is used to secure an internet connection by encrypting data sent between a website and a browser. This is an especially important item to have if you are taking methods of payment or passing sensitive data. I think all sites should pony up for an SSL certificate. It makes your site a little more legit.

Web Host – or a web hosting service provider, is a business that stores your website information on their special computers or servers (to put it in basic terms). In most cases a web host will also provide a domain name to you as well. There are other additional options that a web host may provide like subdomains, business emails

Use this form to enter your a couple domain names you might be interested in, plus their cost.
