Day 57 - Work again!

Days like these are very depressing, it's the day after you comeback from such excitement and fun, and then you immedietely gota start work. But oh well.

Ah if i forgot to mention, on friday before we left for magic mountain, i had started a render so i could look at it on monday. It looked quite alright. The cheats and hacks i did actually arn't so bad, and i'm starting to feel proud of my own work. Haha. Previously i was kinda nervous, if this is kinda noteworthy work, but it's turning out nicer than i imagined.

Today, we found out that nathan would be around to help us for a couple of days, so i could ask him some stuff on how he did his paper project. Aliza sprung a surprise check on us, and a surprise class on us. She wanted Nathan to teach us how to do layering from houdini and then bringing it to nuke. Jon suggested using one of our work as a template for the class. So nathan went around. Edmund's, bing yuan's and daniel's were all liquid, wei thai's is complex l-systems, so he choose mine. Which kinda made things easier on me, so i have something to reference to directly :D. haha.

I explained to him some of the stuff i did, and he went to prepare something, in the mean time, i did some fixes, on the official one in the drive, then after he chose mine, i switched to the one on my drive, and then when he finished with the class, i had a third one, so now i have 3 files with 3 different content changes, and i need to pull them together. I guess i'll do that tommorow. Everybody wants to go back and i am feeling tired....

Oh i forgot to mention, over the last couple of weeks i've been bugging aliza to bug garage games to give us a copy of torque 3d engine. Last week, torque finally responded and gave side effects a licence. As side effects is missing the softwares needed for a game development pipeline, i asked if i could install the copy of torque onto my laptop, today after explaining to aliza why i want to install it on my laptop, she agreed and i got a copy of the engine here. weehee... haha. But she would rather me concentrate on my project for the time being, which i am. But i have something to toy around with while i'm at the apartment and maybe when i'm back in singapore....
