time to get another hard drive.

forgot to mention

Since this is my last quarter here...
It's a short one!
Because of graduation! Which for some reason is during the quarter isnstead of after it.which means...

i have less time to do these projects.

boo-hoo.

here's something i learned already

rigging is really important.

you may have really great looking concept art , but if the rig is stiff, or doesn't work in some other way, you cant realize that concept in your imagination. sorry, in your animation. The animation will never see it. Rigging is really important, and when doing facial blendshapes it's an art. Rigging really is describing the limits of what a model can do. Putting limits on the animators.

didn't mean to vent. anyways, like i said, rigging is really important, get someone good to do it, or if you're a control freak or perfectioninst lead, learn to do it yourself.

i've almost graduated

this quarter i have to make three short films in five classes.

Two of them i am working as part of a group, and the third one is all mine.

i'm goin g to use what i learn in the group ones to help my personal project. i could even list what i learn here. yeah, i'll do that.

that's not mine

its from j-list.com

"I can just see the patterns. It's like music."

I continue to watch my kids grow up, fascinated at how they go about acquiring

English and Japanese. My wife is helping my son study for the Step Test, level

2, a test that's usually taken by students in their third year of high school

(and for students who aren't putting a special effort into learning English,

not at all). Like most Japanese, my wife has learned English in a very

analytical way, memorizing the grammar as if it were a collection of complex

formulas. Verbs in English come in three varieties, present tense, past tense

and past participle, and Japanese have perfected the memorization of these

verbs into a science, spitting out "go, went, went" "eat, ate, eaten" "drive,

drove, driven" very easily. My wife naturally tries to impart this to my son,

but he refuses to learn English in this way -- he can usually "sense" the

correct answer on a test and doesn't need to make it more complex by trying to

understand the grammar like his mother does. When she asked him how he was

able to get the right answer without consciously knowing the rules of English,

he replied, "I can just see the patterns. It's like music." Kids sure are

amazing things.

and another thing...

How can you tell how close the chameleon is to the temple? Huh?

How?

Buzz" Bunny had a god-damned laser samurai
sword and they all had for some
reason the ability to
shoot flame from
their eyes. i am not making this up.

i think that at some times they must have known it, known how bad it had to be and then at some point (i just remembered that they used a Korean animation house to do teh animation. isn't that the ultimate American buisiness story right there?) at some point they decided to have fun with it. cause some stuff was just heinous. They ripped off somuch shit it was just incredible. man.
