=Welcome to The 3D Design & Animation Wiki Page for the 3D 4th Quarter Capstone Project=

Each group will have their own tab/page to type their group daily reflection.

Each person will also be responsible for a weekly log (you may hand write it during the week but when turned in on Friday it must be typed) You will put it in your production bible in the appropriate
