Two Month Warning
Mar. 31st, 2003 11:18 pmAnd so tomorrow I start on my last class for this school. And the final exam for this class is the erstwhile Final project.
You know, in a way I should be glad that it's almost all over. I know exactly what I need to do, now, I've been planning it for several months now. But it's a matter of actually doing it, and taking care of all the fiddley little details that need doing. Converting models from NURBS to polygons, rebinding skins, rerigging, weighting, blend shapes.. and then modelling the environment.... Adding particle effects and dynamics.... It's going to be rather hard and intensive. And I'll be putting it on my demo reel so of course it needs to be the utter best work that I've done. No pressure, though! Of course not....
I guess I'm reasonably optimistic, though. I've been pretty productive this weekend. And all the malarkey that we've been handed for the past thirteen months can finally be cast aside and we get to the heart of what we've been tought. Of course, with this realization comes the recognition that the real problem is going to be getting a job after graduation, one that pays well enough that I can support myself and pay off my myriad loans.
I'll try not to worry about that now, though. Right now, the goal is to GET OUT, GET OOOOOUT! like Full Sail was a house in Amityville.
