I really enjoyed this lab. It was my first time using any form of 3d modeling software outside of basic plot creations. Though this was my first time using the software, I found it to be fairly easy to use for this assignment. I discovered that there were many features that appeared very complicated, but for this particular model, the features I used were fairly simple to understand. One example of a feature that took me quite some time to figure out was changing the property of the model. Because I was creating a piece of cheese, I wanted to choose a material that was most cheese-like and had a similar color. It took me a while to sift through all of the different material types to find the closest “cheesy” material, which was yellow wax. Though I wanted to choose a material that closer-resembled the texture of cheese and its imperfect coloring (blotches of lighter and darker yellows), I compromised and settled with yellow wax because it was the closest option. While toying around with the different material and property types, I quickly found that this tool would be perfect for 3d modeling or recreations of various landscapes like campuses or other property. With properties like water, brick, and other building-related materials, it would be easy to recreate different landscapes on this software.
If I had to provide a tip for others in the future, it would be to familiarize yourself with the different materials/properties available. When seeing some of them during my modeling process, I instantly thought of new ideas (i.e. creating a river using water).

Wow! This is so cool! I love how you incorporated color into your model. The swiss cheese holes look really realistic, too.
What an interesting object to model! The creativity is really impressive here, and I like how you made some of the holes hit the edge of the cheese or go all the way through on the side. The attention to detail in finding the best texture and color for the cheese is also amusing. I look forward to seeing what ideas you will come up with next!
This is a very interesting model. I was also trying to figure out if it was possible to change the color of the object but I was not able to figure it out. Thank you for the tip, I didn’t know that we could control the color and even texture of the object by using different materials.
Hey Chris, awesome model! I really like how realistic your model looks. A tip I can offer you is that you can a design’s color by clicking modify, appearance, and then overlapping the existing color and material with the color and material you desire. I also agree about the design ideas, they seem limitless!
Nice job with the overall shape, you really nailed the air pockets. I like the variation you had in the model as well, and I’d say I never would’ve guessed the material was yellow wax!
Your model is very creative and realistic. The air pockets are impressive! I like that you make air pockets on the edges and we can see hollows from different angles. The material and color you chose also made your design to be realistic. I think the suggestion of familiarizing ourselves with different materials and properties available is very useful. I got some new ideas from the materials as well! However, I think it would be better if we can customize color and materials in Fusion 360. I tried to make a pink lego block but I couldn’t find the color.
This model is really creative! The shape kind of reminds me of those of a cartoon; like a depiction of the type of cheese a fictional mouse would savagely devour. I’m also intrigued by the texture–it’s quite similar to that a lego but I also kind of can see the cheesiness the longer that I stare at it.
