Diary Entry 15/06/26

 I started the day with Python. Today I went over learning format specifiers, while and for loops and then creating an interest calculator project utilising format specifiers and while loops. For loops were a little tricky to wrap my head around, however I understand the general idea of them. All comments of what each line of code does and functions as are explained within the screenshots.

Following Python, I moved onto Blender and began continuing making progress on the donut. Within the next section of the tutorial it covered basic UV mapping as well as how to adjust and apply plain textures as well as image textures from the internet to look the best as they can.

 I began the day by continuing Python. To start I worked on learning conditional expressions and how to use them at a basic level with different examples on how they work.

Next was string methods. I began learning a few of the available string methods that can be used to locate and make strings more accessible such as capitalising text or locating indexes.

Following these string methods, I completed a small project to help put these methods into practice. Make a program to create a username while following certain rules on what can be contained within said username.

To conclude today's Python session I learnt indexing. Locating the start, end and step of locating characters within a string by indexing. I completed a few small examples such as locating the last 4 digits of a credit card number for security purposes.

As I have mentioned previously, I am working a lot more shifts this month compared to usual and am going to be a lot slower throughout June with work. I will try to work on bits here and there however it won't be  consistent. At least as consistent as I can make it.

 I began working on the next section of the Blender Donut tutorial. I Created a basic plate for the donut to sit on as well as utilise proportional editing as well as a Lattice to deform the donut to shape it to be lumpy and not so perfect to achieve a sense of realism. I utilised a few new tools here and have set up the project ready to learn some rendering and material techniques.

Next session I'll work on Blender, Python and some of my story some more
