animation!

here is a kind of hard to see vid of my animation. i hadn't tested anything before i shot the final so some of it is way too fast and some of it takes a little too long, but i can fix that later. not bad for no lightbox and doing it in a couple days:


end of my last fall quarter

so now fall quarter is officially over. how was it? it was okay.. 3d and gaming started off pretty nicely and went full on until the very end when things got way too rushed and all the work i (and we) did wasn't really given very much time at all to be viewed. and my last two games didn't even get played! wtf. kind of disappointing but at least i learned how to use maya and there is gaming 2 next quarter. animation was super fun, that's going to be going on next quarter + spring also. this time i'll actually use the lightboxes instead of sitting in my room with my lamp by myself.
but now that i have time this winter break, i can finally finish up the cn script and do some arts!! can't wait to paint/photoshop/painter x/render maya things.
aaaand there is a artist speaker event tonight at JANM in jtown by my most favorite illustrator james jean. whoa i'm really looking forward to that.
and really looking forward to christmas stuff and shopping and being around friends + family. aaah this break is going to be good.
since i'll be at home mostly, i probably won't be updating very much seeing how i still have caveman 28k internet at home. but i might here and there. happy holidays!

awesome

so the animation turned out really well, i managed to finish everything in time and get it all onto film. the animation professors are really extremely fun and helpful and nice guys, no joke. i really like animators... so much different from the people in design. hm.
so we're going to have the screening next week on wednesday i think and then i'll be able to get a copy of it and post it upppp!
for now i have my gaming final + 3d maya final to do. i'm starting to like maya more now that i got the hang of where most things are... by most i mean maybe 30-40% haha. but that's good, considering that it's so complex and we just learned it from scratch 10 weeks ago.
part of my 3d final:




wow the light actually works!
more to come later
