This really sucks
March 17, 2014
So here's the deal. My home life sucks. It is literally awful and stressful and I hate being there so for my vacation I decided to work through most of it so I wouldn't have to deal with my mother and her boyfriend. But on the one day I decided to work on homework I accidentally got plaster on the carpet, which I cleaned up. But I got yelled at and flipped out at and long story short I pretty much have no where to live this summer. I might be able to live with my aunt and uncle but probably not. So I didn't do any homework because I was incredibly stressed out between working 32 hours last week and dealing with that shit storm.
So the most I did for this class was play the new pokemon game for like 20 hours in an attempt to calm myself down but I did think about how the game was modeled and how they got all of the interactive qualities with the modeling. Plus they added a really cool feature where you can customize your character which is super cool. I would be interested in working for a game company, but probably only pokemon. Because I'm a huge pokemon nerd.
Also I am never taking 3 studio classes all together ever again. I can't handle this with my crazy personal problems and my work schedule. But the good news is that I don't have to work until Friday so I have a bunch of time for me to work on stuff. I also probably have to look for an apartment though and I have to catch up with other classes too so no promises.

It looks so beautiful!!!
March 5, 2014 10:35am
It looks so beautiful now!!! And the bone texture I found makes it look even better. So tomorrow I'm going to do the animation between them and then I will post the render to this blog. It's easier for me to render at home because my computer is faster than this one. I might have to break the renders into chunks but that's fine. Here are a bunch of pictures of the bones!!
I'm really happy with it. So I'm going to try and animate the word alive melting.
Working on these projects during break is going to be hard for me because I still work during break to avoid my parents so I'll still be working just as much as normal, plus I need to catch up on some sleep. But I'm going to try to finish this animation tomorrow after my one class and then render it out. And then I will work more on the planning document. Before I leave class I'm going to do the group evaluation form and work on my planning document so that I don't have to think about it as much over break since I'm sure that Julie will give us an animation to do over the vacation and Amy already gave us a project due when we get back which I have turned into a stop motion animation project so that's going to take up a lot of time too. Anyways I'm really happy that the bones don't look terrible anymore but it's still useful to know the other information that I learned from trying it the other way.

Ugh

I am so frustrated with this bone making thing. I might just give up soon and do it an easier way but I really want to figure it out somehow. I need a tool that is more clay like than just smearing the planes around because it makes it look too jagged. I tried it two different ways, the way you showed me in class but it looked like this.

It's too jagged where things are supposed to be connected so I decided to try a different way right next to it and it looks a little better but not much.
I used the weld tool and the brush tool on the smear and smooth settings but it made the spheres look funny so I don't really like it, plus the cylinder still has an edge which is what I don't want. I wish I could just mold and shape it like clay instead of playing with planes and points because it makes it come out too rigid and not organic looking. I think I'm going to take a break at 10 and then come back. I just really need to eat and regroup because I'm starving and cranky. I might even just go now so I can be back around 10. I'm also going to look at stuff online to see if there's a tool I like better than the one's I'm using now. I'm not sure what else I can do to make it more smooth but I'll look at it when I get back because I'm too hungry to function.

Factory Research
March 4, 2014
I really want to do some kind of creamery because I work in a dairy department and I cut and wrap a lot of cheese. And I went to the Cabot Cheese factory a million times because we had land in that town in Vermont. I think it would be really fun to have something turning in a giant container, and then have it turn into brie since it's my favorite to cut, and then have something slide it down, cut it, and then slide it down for wrapping. So that's my idea, and I now have a bunch of ideas for how it will look because I took that too=ur five hundred times, but I can't remember all of it so I'm going to make it my own.

Plus Fabrication
March 4, 2014
I thought the presentation was way more helpful than I thought it was going to be. Because even though they don't do similar work to me, they still brought up a bunch of sculpture techniques and new tools that I looked into immediately. I looked into more 3D printers on ebay thanks to them and found some that are much less in price, which is really exciting.
I also looked into injection molding because they said it was a cheap way to make many copies, but it's not a great way to make different faces for puppets. It's still really great information to have, because I haven't taken many sculpture classes yet.
I also thought that the information on Kickstarter was really informative and helpful, and I'm working on starting one now for my studio that I want to rent this summer so I can make some short animations, but I want to buy better equipment. I also thought them talking about shared facilities because it can really bring costs down.
I thought they were really helpful overall and I think it's really helpful to see people who work for themselves, because I want that for myself someday.

Word Play and rendering
March 2, 2014
So I storyboarded for the project even though I already started but I just did a really basic three panel one since I'm doing something pretty basic except for the modeling. I'm going to model the word dead as different bones and it will be great. I was going to work on it more tonight but I forgot to save the file to my external hard drive and I had to do my Audio Video project that is due tomorrow so I'm going to work on it tomorrow. I think I'm going to put the word I model behind the word Alive but not until it's melting and dripping and stuff. I might even have it show through the puddle on the ground or something. I'm not 100% sure yet. Also I didn't go do the test render because I have nothing to render and I worked all weekend so.... I'll do it when I have something to render.
And I tried to upload a picture of my storyboard but it won't upload for whatever reason.
I'm really excited for those presenters to show up tomorrow. I really have so many questions about 3D printing and I'm really excited that I can integrate techniques I learn in this class to stop motion work. Alright I have more homework to do.
