Class 9, Cloud Party Assignment

For this assignment, I created a structure in Cloud Party. Below are the screenshots of the work in progress. 
This is the island I built the structure on.



This is a shot of when I was building the foundation of the structure (a bed and couch).






Below are shots of the final structure from different views. You can tell that the structure remains plausibly in-tact (I use that term loosely) no matter where it is viewed from.





Building structures in Cloud Party varies quite a bit from building them in OSGrid. OSGrid is good for building all types of different structures (for example, the rocket I built in the previous assignment). Cloud Party basically just allows the user to build structures out of pre-existing items (ie. couches, TVs, tables, etc.), where OSGrid allows users to build structures out of basic shapes such as squares and circles. OSGrid also allows the user to change the shape and color of the individual components of a structure. The major advantage of Cloud Party is the ease of use. OSGrid was a lot more difficult to use, but there was a lot more freedom in terms of what you can build. The graphics on OSGrid were not quite as good as the ones in Cloud Party. Overall, I'd say that I like both programs, but if I had to choose one to use I would take Cloud Party because of its great graphics and ease of use.
