BFA Update AGAIN!

I am officially behind where I wanted to be today. UV Texturing is taking longer than expected since I made some of the models on the engine needlessly complicated. That said, I am maintaining my current calendar. I will catch up by the end of Thanksgiving Break.

It does, however, mean that I will spend a bit less time lovingly embracing food..and I'll need to cancel my plans to travel down to Starkville for a couple days to visit friends. Oh well, I didn't like them anyways...*sniffle*.

BFA Update

Over the last couple days I got a majority of the UV maps of the train engine finished. The UV maps are the layout mapping for texturing. By the next class I will have completely textured the engine and have a good portion of the outside passenger car modeled out.

WIP

I have finally managed to finish modeling the train engine and have begun to UV texture map all of the pieces. I had originally intended to be finished with the entire engine by mon/tues, but the modeling of a specific piece of the train engine to longer than originally thought. The mechanism which moves the wheels was far more complex than I anticipated as the way the mechanism moves made it confusing to model it in a way that can be animated.

This puts me behind on my calendar, but using the upcoming weekend as well as the thanksgiving break, I should be able to close the gap and get back on, or even ahead, of schedule.

Logos..do you have them?

Yes.


P.S. Logo will be changed shortly. I have spoken to a fellow student who knows significantly more about design than me and made some recommendations.

IMAGES!!!?

Y'all got a parcel full of 'em images.

BFA Progress

My professional progress is stalled at the moment, as I feel odd not sending in 3-d work with my demo reel. I have contacted someone about a remote internship, but still haven't heard back from him. If I hear an affirmative from him, I will forward my demo reel and resume to arena.net for review and hopefully get an internship. Either way, I plan on making some cover letters for a couple different companies within the next week, as I stated in my previous post.
I am "happy" with my demo reel as it is, and I seem to have gotten good reviews from the class, but I still want to add some 3-d content. If they don't work together well, I may make a separate demo reel for the 3-d content to really show off line flow and models...potentially a bit of animation as well.

Gadspy told me "Great" on my resume and there was no further mark-up, so unless something is glaringly missing I believe that it is at a satisfactory point, for the moment at least.

For my future, I want to work for a couple years after graduating. If I manage to get where I want to be fairly quickly, then excellent. If I'm struggling in moving forward or despise the people I work with, I'll probably go to grad school and develop my skills further. I also do still have dreams of opening a small gaming studio at some point in the future, though that will only happen if I can find a group of reliable and friendly people who also want to do the same.
