Burnt.Out

Omid has slept three hours in the past 24. I don't think Brian has done anything to the rig since the last time I saw it. I was in ASH last night until 12:20am or something painting some backgrounds after hovering around Zoe and watching her make glowing jelly fish while trying to be helpful in a vastly unhelpful way. Hanging around in there with all the Anim peeps scrambling to render shots was vastly entertaining-- not an environment to get anything done in.

Omid and Brian have a week to get their code together. Hopefully that will happen, as it really should have been done about two weeks ago. I've just been painting surfaces and its gotten a little boring. Perhaps I'll look into some of the lighting settings.

Object Mode

Been painting texture maps this entire time. Lots of texture maps. Jackalope is all modeled and textured, now I just need to paint an environment.

More importantly, we have a venue and a time...

The Entire Manual is 130 Pages

Do you want to see something awesome? Okay, I'll show you!

WINGS

Its terribly convenient for axially symmetric models like my Jackalope, and its got a total of five buttons on the top! AND you can set it up with Maya-like controls! ITS LIKE--OH MAN, I DON'T HAVE TO LEARN THE WHOLE BLOODY MAYA INTERFACE TO MODEL! AHAHAHAAHAH

The only problem is that watching Chris do something is not necessarily helpful, because he just clatters through it like its the easiest thing ever and then goes, "there is some nice documentation!"

Meanwhile: OH MAN, I JUST FOUND OUT HOW TO MAKE A CUBE, SWEET!

Hell, give me some sculpey and I'll give you a MODEL. But seriously, this is going to be way easier.

Preliminary Concept Art

ITS A JACKALOPE! Um, for some reason both Omid and Chris seem to think this looks like an ugly doll. Kind of irksome, but I like this dude too much to change it.



So Jake and I are supposedly going to have an intro to modeling on Friday. Barring any more emergencies. Slightly more interesting than making bouncing balls.
