Gaspar's Reply

Well i got his reply and it seems he is staying in the US . Oh well, at least I tried. Anyway, about work . I'm getting better and I've been given a lot of tasks because I've been finishing them on time. Not because of skill but more because nothing screwy has been happening to the computer. Of course then there is the matter of self study and trying to figure out things by yourself before asking help. Its not like we're kids and need to be spoon fed the information *ahem*. Asking about stuff is the easiest way to learn something... but not that good in the long run. Experiences of frustration and the act of problem solving does imbed skills much deeper in one's mind than just asking someone whenever you hit a bump. Anyway, I'm a 3d Artist and I should know my sh*t. What kind of artist would I be if I didn't know my own tools? Maya vs 3ds Max . I've been having some problems with rigging. I talked to jun and he tells me maya just paints the the "we...

Some small things

news updates . Talked to little sister and she will be back at around May 9. she will be studying Flash scripting here. Game today . Canceled, possibly moved to thurs after bobby's game. I've been gearing up for Ben-g's game lately as you can see by my compulsions. I should just run a module Game on Thursday (labor day) . Bobby is running a game GURPS wasteland with exotic advantages 150cp plus 50 disads. If anyone is interested please get in touch by tomorrow for full details. Bobby allowing exotic advantages (of course stuff that you can easily explain and not to rules complicated).

Dad and the Car; Its a Bitchy Day today

Dad wants to buy us a car . It would be great getting a car, although Chat would be driving it more than me. We want to be Eco and Economical. We like hondas but dad has a car for already in mind. So dad wants to buy as a car but he wants a car with some status, like a Civic. Us, on the other hand, want a Jazz or a City. Its not exactly an option when dad doesn't like the Status of the car. Status means something to Dad's circles, strangely... unfortunately we don't care about status. I liked my old Honda City and wouldn't mind an upgrade to the new 2008 city. In fact, we thought about it as Chat filled up a lotto ticket. If we did have the money, we would Still get a city. Mom is right about cars, they devalue TOO greatly and too quickly. A choice of spending between 770k to 850k OR 550k for a City or a Jazz. :( We are not the type sell the car after 3 years. Its impractical to get a car only to sell it in 3 years. On the other hand, a car with more Horse power wil...

Early Out!

Wow, finished ahead of time... or so I think . Never assume you're in the clear, with tech there is always a Murphy hiding somewhere. What did I learn . Finer manipulation of Hair and Fur, Animation Loops, and Improved a bit in my color sense. The bee looks good, come to think of it. Not great, but Ok for an animation short. Can't Join the group Airsoft . Bob arranged that we all go airsoft but I can't right now. :( Listening to The Last Goodbye -Stay Beautiful . sounds so optimistic jumpy and uplifting.

Busy busy bee

rendering a bee . And a bee is is mostly a puff ball of dirty blond hair. Bee's are hard. They are the most complex insects I have ever rendered. This is because they are not smooth exoskeletal creatures, they are fury an with varried textures and elements that make it hard to make them believable. Will be busy the whole week. Will Saturday will be spent at work again and I'm leaving work by around 7:30 ish. Working out. I really need to work out time passes me by too quickly at work because of the incredibly many things to do and double check. Computers are power now but have many many bugs, and I've have learned at this point the complexity of our work is at a point errors happen quite commonly. So we have to redo things over and over again, even with the right work process. :P

veging out

too tired for anything else . Don't know what to do. Thanks to work, I have an early mornings and I can't just waste it sleeping. I don't know what to do. Usually I work on some GURPS stuff for a game. But I don't have players and they are working on GURPS low Tech, a good acquaintance of mine was asked to write an article for it. Knowing that he started around now, I bet it will be made in the next 6 months. To think its 2008, Fourth Edition was made in 2004. So by 2009 all the books I'm interested in will have been made. 5 years into 4th edition. After that they don't have to change edition. Working on my own Game system . Working on a Real Time and Table Top game system for Mahadlika and my own gaming purposes. I have my own compilation of Human physical performance ranges for the purpose of an CRPG. Planning to make sure the system takes that into account. I also have a special "luck" system which I plan to integrate which is not like any system I...

at home

Close to burning out . I think sir will do the more important stuff. I think a better tree would be that. Anyway, took only a few hours to model a bee. Since it will be an extra it will not need too much detail. I guess I got lucky here. Thanks Charles . The mouse would be a cheaper solution. @ Jayvee . Sorry dude, my job has a lot of overtime. I'll be out for a while, i really want to hang out. Its just the hazards of being in this part of production. Listening to Imogen Heap (aka Frou Frou), Flyleaf, and a bunch of stuff in Yahoo Radio . They keep playing beatles at work to a point of the same song repeating 5x excluding the remakes. I'm sick of my own music and I wanted something different for a change.
