Still Here

"A race is not well-run unless you've crossed the finish line knowing that you couldn't have kept going for one more step. If you could have, then you didn't give it everything you had." -Jackie Dugall

Just a quick post to say "Hey, I'm still alive out here!" I've been up to my ears in work at VFS, and on my time off I have been scrambling to prepare for my first marathon ever: Warrior Dash. Hopefully once that is over, and once we get past the end of the term at school I'll have more time to devote to getting props working in the UDK. I'm still trying to figure out how to get my UV sets working, but I think I'll figure it out soon.



In addition to the UDK stuff, I'm also going back to old lighting assignments and trying to take another stab at it. This is just a WIP, and something about it still bothers me. Too.... reserved.... and the window is throwing it off I think, since the actual window lighting the text is behind the pillar. Still no FG or GI, as I'd much rather get it looking nice first, but I've been meaning to play with both.


I did have time to do this little pen sketch of a Mr. Anthony Hopkins. Ironically, it was drawn during one of the design classes while everyone was going over how to design cartoony characters. I was happy that this turned out better than my last few attempts to capture his face, which means I must be learning something despite how seldom I draw now-a-days.

Cheers,
