Pepsi Light Competition Countdown 31 Days to Go!!

There's more truth. I should be working on Pepsi so I can get a free trip to New York. On that note... everyone will have to go to the Pepsi site and vote for my work from the begining of Feb to the end of March so I CAN win... and, while were on the topic does anyone have any ideas for the name of my project... please leave suggestions in the comments on a name for the following concepts:

1) Sporty girls doing sports in all the different seasons, surfing, biking, tai chi and snowboarding... they're really fit and active. They're full of energy and they all drink Pepsi Light

2) The 4 seasons

How to Build a Digital Human

I borrowed a book for the Christmas break from my teacher called 'Building a Digital Human'. I thought, as I'm an egoist, I'd start by building myself and then move onto maybe building clones of myself and then populating my own 3D world... but then I realised that that's exactly the same as what's going on in my head and it's not very creative.

The truth is though, that I'm not very creative (people confuse creativity with artistic technical skill ALL THE TIME!!!) and that I will start with my own model. I'll therefore have the added advantage of being able to see accurate facial expressions and morph from those. I'll ask Fabri to take the photos tonight.

This is Chud. He is about to go fishing off the roof of a very tall skyscraper.

Indie Rock and Roll

This is a list of my new favorite bands:
1) The Killers
2) Maroon 5
3) Stereophonics
4) Franz Ferdinand (though I don't even have any tracks on my ipod)

In case anyone was interested.

I got an OK!



So the progettazione exam was today. It took all of the 30 seconds to watch the film and another 2.5 minutes (that would be 3600 frames of animation) to read my report in English and discuss dormer windows. I got an 'OK'. I don't know what that means but I don't think I'll be pulling in a 30 as Mauro's work ended with his logo and a 'made in 3d Studio 7' page. Oooops, I guess I'm not as professional...

Anyhow I've attached one final rendering for your pleasure. Let me know what you think.

Progettazione... on and on eh?


So the project is going okay and I may finish in this decade. I even wrote the paper that goes with it. Anyhow, I guess too many lights are on in the house and it's keeping the neighbors up so I'm going to go turn some of them off.

Night!

Wait, anyone else find the spelling of neighbors scary? i think I'm going to avoid that word from now on.

Projectazione.... bah humbug

So here was the scope for the project: Make a photo-realistic architectual subject in its environment. Now, go away and do it without any instruction.

I finally have some windows and doors and the balconies out front are up. I almost pulled out all of my hair because I lost over 6 hours of work when the file from having opened it at school no longer opens on my PC. I've saved 7 versions of this file just in case.

I rekon I have about 20 hours of work left... ??
