Nearing the end of term two.
The finals were starting to build up this past week. Last Friday we had our Junkyard assignment for Texturing Due. This was our last class for texturing this term. The final was a junk yard scene we had to model and texture. I went with a futuristic junkyard scene where Robots go to die or to be recycled. In this junkyard, I had robot parts scattered like junk in a regular junkyard. Here’s how the 3 shots turned out.
We had our last career prep class this morning. We had to do a presentation in front of the class about something industry related. My partner was Bob. We decided to go with something creative with our final, and design the Ultimate Gaming Chair. I think the presentation turned out pretty well. The two above pictures are what the chair looked like. These were the original designs. We decided to go with an off white colour to present to the class cause it had too much black, and was hard to see everything. I wonder if my classmates will still blog after today?
Last Friday, we also had an animation assignment due. In this animation, we had to choose a dance or fight scene. It had to have some form of human interaction. This was probably one of our most challenging assignments so far, but it was also the most fun. Here’s how it turned out. It’s loosely based on Bruce Lee.
With 4 of our classes done for term two, we now have all this time to work on our other finals. The character model, light a haunted hallway, and make an advanced character rig. This next week or two are going to be a little nutty.
We had to say goodbye to two of our teachers this term. Vesna, and Val. I was a bit sad about it, but I guess it’ll be a whole different story when we graduate. It’s like I’m in highschool again. Sometimes I still can’t believe that I’m actually back in school after 8 years. Maybe it still hasn’t really sunk in yet? or I just really like it so it doesn’t really feel like work? Wowsers. Everyone’s getting super good in my class. I guess that’s what school does? Yay! we’re learning stuff. Hopefully in term 3 we get to concentrate more on our final demo reels. I’m not sure how many people have started in my class, but by the judge of all the homework we’ve been getting, I don’t think anyone had any time. mmmmm, I’m eating banana bread. mmmm sooo gooood. There’s some crazy talent in my class, so I can’t wait to see what everyone comes up with for their demos. I think I might just stick to my original plan. I spoke to the program head today, and he said at this point, it might be a bad idea to try to come up with something new. He just said to stick with my original idea, but to take stuff out, cause it was a bit too much. Maybe I’ll just add some bonus animation in my demo or something as suggested by my instructors. It seems like there’s so much crazyness going on right now. I’m not really sure what I’m supposed to be doing. I think I’m doing ok, but I also feel confused sometimes. I guess we’ll see what happens in the next 5 months.
