Tong Thao Final Scene
 Lucky 7 
Inspiration

This scene is how I remember my time in Las Vegas.  My friends and I went to Las Vegas to test our luck. We planned to stay for a week so we could visit all the casinos.  We went to the Circus Circus first and decided to spend the night there.  While we were there my friends were playing Craps.  And he figured out why it’s called Craps.  He was broke so we cut our time in Las Vegas short.  I was the only one who had money left because I was playing slots at that time.  Time in Las Vegas = 5 hours.  Money lost in Las Vegas = $1200.  Money I still had left = $200.  Laughing at your friends the whole drive back = priceless.

Problems and Solutions

Problems that I had were with the Subdividing of the Sides on the dice, and making the holes in the dice.  The problem was that I couldn’t Boolean subtract the holes from the sides because there were to many sides when you subdivided that side.  This occurred when I tried to make one hole, two hole, and three hole.  For the one and two holes it was easy because I just turned the subdivided sides to make just one side and it worked out well.  For the three whole it was a little tricky.  I made that side have four by four segments then I subdivided it and it worked.
