UVW mapping

Its hard... I mean really hard. It takes a ton of time and I'm surprised it wasn't covered back in school. I'd understand why its much easier to do high tech scenes since there arent much in texture and materials but going realistic and gritty its a nightmare to make stuff.

Anyway, I'm figuring it out as I go along. I Understand now that professional game modelers usually take a couple of hours to model a 700 face object in detail. Its an interesting thing to learn and a good standard to set when modeling stuff. Budgeting my time and having several goals in place should make this go pretty fast.

I was modeling the beowulf and learned that I really need to change my screen. Its just too small and mapping just takes too much space.

I know I have to start learning the hot keys. Its just pretty hard learning all the hot keys of Photoshop, Illustrator and 3ds Max and not accidentaly mixing up the three. :(

I'm hitting my 30s by 2009, but before that arrives I got to be a an expert modeler, if not animator. Given motion capture and creative scene direction I may modeling seems to be a more important stage to get through.

But, damn it I need a job.

Maybe after all this and a year of work (if the job isnt that great) I'll go to teaching the basics in CSB. There are a lot of things that need to be taught and I think 3d graphics shouldn't be just 9 units... I think it should be 36-54 units. Even what I have covered now would be more than 18 units and would require twice the number hours just to get certain projects off the ground Then there are the Game Engine Programs I need to learn :( WTF. Learning doesnt stop after school, too bad you don't have enough time to learn other things with what the job needs.

Then there are extracurriculars, I could use some OJTs to do the modeling for Mahadlika, I don't mind giving the extra hours to teach as long as I get projects of the ground.

Technically I'm done with the project

no charter . after learning what a charter is and because they don't work with a charter I'll never do a project without it. A charter is a written agreement with a project sponsor/employer/ in what outputs to be expected and what points are needed to consider a project done. I've never worked with a character before and was continually frustrated and depressed because of constant revisions and fluctuating tastes and expectations. I'd rather be thought of a total prick than to destroy my life working without a charter. This comes up because, when technically my dad removed me from the website project I'm being asked to arrange it again. This fuels my wishes, not to mention memories of unbearable depressions, to really leave the company I just joined in 2 months. Honestly, I'm here cause my parents want me. They can't make me want this job. I was doing well in the 3d artist track, I was poor but well, less stressed and still hopeful of my future. Personally,

Gurps Mysteries

A really great GM book . If there was Game Mastering for Dummies (not just for DnD or GURPS ), Gurps Mysteries is the next level of Advanced Game Mastering. This is where the players grow up a little, they are not as interested in Hack and Slash anymore and they begin to lean on a more cerebral challenge. One of the best elements of this books is how to communicate clearly to your players through clues and hints in the game. Despite its focus on mystery, this books i great for any intrigue. Eventually mastering these technqies, format, and story telling will allow for games to have a very clear and sophisticated finish. An art onto itself, and not just a game. Of course the most important element is having fun. Fun is when you and the players are on the same page no matter what you throw at them to challenge their characters and give them a chance to shine. Filled with too much information . I'm excited at what I learned about armor smithing in the early Renaissance and late

330mg of Caffeine will do the trick

Ok i got a grande brewed coffee and put 8-10 packets of brown sugar thats about 155 calories. This is twice the amount of Caffeine i get from my 2 shots of espresso in the morning with 4 teaspoons of brown sugar. How do i feel... Better! although my face is reeling from the bitter after taste of the coffee. good coffee is really sour going down and really bitter after. The intense sugar tends to make the sourness taste fruity. Anyway, my is elevated and I'm a bit hyper but i am able to control that better these days. The tons of notebook and the emotional intelligence studies help. Particularly when i've broken down most of my peculiarities and the way I think. Heck, I think i can make an entire wiki based on how I'd react to certain things. It would be very revealing and transparent of me, and of course like the anything so vulnerable subject to abuse when falling in the wrong hands. I have to email, a friend back some airsoft details.
