I still have to look for a character model sheet. I will do that later, after my shower and nap. I just got home about an hour ago from school. We learned how to make better resumes. Awesome! It’s about time I updated my resume, it is pretty outdated and it has so much useless information.
Anyway, for my character, I was thinking of modeling Lilo from Lilo and Stitch. I just can’t seem to find a model sheet yet, but maybe I just wasn’t looking hard enough last night.
I’m exhausted. I woke up relatively early (6:45 a.m.) and got to school at around 8:00. I planned to work on my XSI character rigging. I finished, but I had no idea how to mirror weights. It was so frustrating because I went to school early to do just that. Anyway, I just weighted both sides of my character. Time consuming, very, I know. I’ll ask around for my next character, I suppose.
I’ve been thinking about my demo reel a lot lately and every time I think about it, I change my mind and new ideas keep popping into my head. I know, for sure, I want to create a modeling and texturing demo reel –I would model interior and exterior environments. Maybe I’ll change my mind later on in the term, I’ll see how character modeling goes.
School work’s starting to build up again. Agh. I’m going to start working after my nap, I swear! The stress gets to me! I become slightly irritable. Term one just ended a few weeks ago and thats when all my projects and assignments were due. Now there’s new ones! Bah.
By blogging right now, I feel slightly better (I have one assignment out of the way!) This is a great way for me to de-stress… just let it all out (and it’s saving me money. Usually, when I’m super stressed, I spend a lot of money. A lot. …then I go for a run.)
I really, really miss my car. I can’t wait until I get it back! It’s getting fixed. Again. For the … third time? (To be honest with you, I’ve lost count. All I know is, it has been almost three months since my car has been going back and forth to the body shop and with me.) Ugh. There’s something wrong with the engine! Or so they say. I don’t know. I don’t really know much about cars. They said I’d get my car back in a couple of days. Hopefully, this time when it comes back to me, it’s problem free.
Okay, time for my nap! I get cranky without it. Hah. What a baby.
Procrastinating?
So I was planning to work on my character (I have yet to look for a model sheet) for my 3D Design class, but I wasn’t motivated enough to start on it. Yet. I’m very good at procrastinating and wasting time. By blogging right now, I don’t feel that guilty, seeing as this is an assignment I have to do for class anyway. Yay!
I went to work on Sunday (I work at a coffee shop). Oh man, a girl came in. She was young, really friendly, and she had crazy hair. She was looking for my coworker. My coworker wasn’t working at the time. So the girl started asking questions about her while I was ringing her order in like –Is she going to work today? Is she in town? I answered them, seeing as she was a nice girl. She eventually asked, “Can I have her phone number? I’m a really close friend of hers, I just don’t have her number.” I had no idea what to do. I was about to get her number from the address book when, thankfully, my coworker (the one that I was currently working with) knocked some sense into me. Anyway, I had to tell the nice girl that is my coworker’s “friend” that we weren’t allowed to give out information like that. She was fine with it. She left without her drink. She didn’t even wait for it to finish. Weird. She didn’t come back for it either. My coworker called me today and was totally creeped out. She had no idea who it was. She said that it might have been her “stalker.” Wow. I’m so glad I didn’t feed that girl any information.
Anyway, I’m loving digital animation. I’m not that great at it, but I love it. It’s a lot of work. Honestly, it’s stressful and I never would have thought that this much stress would come out of this course! One of the reasons why I took this course was because I thought it would be a walk in the park… I was so wrong! Don’t worry, I didn’t just take this course because I thought it was going to be easy, I love 3D animated movies –my favourite one would have to be Finding Nemo (Ratatouille comes close!). Hmm, I remember the first 3D animated movie that I saw…I believe it was Jimmy Neutron. I think that was back in… 2001? 2002? Woah. That was a long time ago! Anyway, term two started last week! I made a goal to push myself harder! I will follow through! I am determined to, at least. I won’t be so “whatever” this term! Anyway, that’s it for today!
