The life drawing deadline came and went, my desire to do as many drawings as possible to add onto the minimum of 4, led me to a fairly sleep deprived, stressful, but overall satisfying result of 12 final drawings (with another 4 planned but lacking motivation on the last leg... ah well, life goes on)
Next up was some audio, i took an audio recorder out from the library and did what recordings i could at that time, and finished the rest at a later date. So i am now in possession of what i believe is everything i need to complete my audio coursework, and i've set myself a deadline of friday to do it (todays wednesday right? hmmm... i better not take too much longer on this thing in maya - ill get to that soon)
After the first batch of audio recordings and before the last, was dynamic communications. Me and George got together over the holidays and got to work on designing our "natural cathedral" (see previous post). It took us about 16 hours or so to finish, and we took pictures of the progress at intervals and plan on creating a small animation to show the evolution of our idea. That can be done quite quickly and easily so it can wait for now.
Finally, we get to maya. Oh maya, iv already had the rant about maya on here sometime earlier in the year so i wont bother again. I'll just say things havent changed. Iv been (and still am as i write this) stumped as to how to get further in the creation of one particular shape i designed for my environment: the top of the lookout/entrance tower. I seem to be full of ideas on how to most easily go about it, however each in turn decides to crash and burn and slowly douse the small flame of hope left in me. I stumbled upon a way to create a very similar shape to the one i desire, however i feel that if maya is going to be a major part of my life for the next few years (possibly much longer too) then "very similar" just isnt quite going to cut it. I want my shape. And i wont stop till i get it.
...Or until the deadline begins to encroach and i start thinking it best to have something rather than nothing, but lets not think of that shall we. Ill leave on a positive note - brought home all my in-class life drawing, yay!
