I Need a More Creative Title for This Post

Weekly comments, yay...

  • Weekly "learned" update
Hm, not much. I did a lot of work with the Anibot and I think I learned more from doing than from the learning videos. I figured out the Hypergraph and Hypershade, which is really useful. Well, ok, I guess I didn't really figure out the Hypergraph so much as learned how to find the action I was looking for. Still playing with it.
  • Want to learn
Character modeling and rigging. I want to know if my super simple character will be able to be rigged the way I want him to be (moving in specific ways and being built the way I want him to be. I'm mostly worried I'll run into the same issue with Flash...)
  • Frustrated me
It didn't so much frustrate me as it did disappoint me. I would have loved to have rendered my Anibot in Mental Ray for my class competition but it didn't render in time. Thank goodness I had already rendered it in Maya Software (because Hardware 2.0 didn't render my 3D textures properly)
  • Made me happy
I'm glad to have made a decent looking product that I can be proud of. It seemed to capture the attention of my fellow classmates, so I should be happy. Also I look forward to finding out which two out of the three of us Skills USA members will get to go to competition. All three of us deserve to go, but sadly we can't all go. I wish you two luck Brian and Jake. May the best man (or woman) win.

I've been watching this video almost non-stop since I discovered it a few days ago. It's another animatic. I love this song so much! And the animation fits with the music (except for the genders of the characters, but that doesn't really matter to me). I really want to see that play now haha.
