Life in 3d

So I chose the Universtiy of Bradford to do my studies at, I'm taking Computer Animation and Special Effects, no suprise there.

It's coming to the end of the first term now (Yay! ) and I'd just like to apologise to any regulars for the lack of updates, i think i managed to produce 1 piece of animation i thought worthwhile putting up on here, it's on the videos page, latest vid.

The adaptation to Maya from Max was harder than i expected, but now the result is that I'm more focussed on an industry standard piece of software now.

It's not all 3d though, there's been report writing, a lot of report writing, photography, Photoshop and even drawing classes (I'm still no Monét).

Of course, it's not all work and no play, the people here are great and im enjoying meeting new people and the freedom of living away from home.

Anyway, I'll update this again when i have something more substantial to put in here. But rest assured, there are projects in the pipeline ;)

Life in 3d

Yesterday, I got my final Uni offer...

I now have until 4th May to choose a firm choice for where I want to go, and an insurance choice for if I dont meet the criteria for the firm choice,

It's all a bit daunting really, as this is the choices that are gonna influence the next 3 years at least of my life, and further down the line, when getting a job! mad

But hopefully all will be good, and I can make my choices.

Just a brief update really as to what I have going on in terms of 3d at the moment...

I've been applying to universities over the past few months for various courses in 3d and animation, and I finally have all but one offer back from them. And by the looks of things, im relatively confident. They all require around C's and D's from me, except my first choice which is a bit higher... But all the same, achieveable with the right effort.

I took my portfolio of work along with me for some of the uni interviewsl and they seemed pretty pleased with some of the work I had in there, althought, the consistent advice i recieved was to start drawing, and learn to sketch out ideas and concepts first before taking the leap into the actual 3d scene and models. So I think maybe Life In 3d may get a new album of sketch and concept work that I will scan into the computer. cool

Thanks for reading.

Last night as I had my toothbrush in hand, I grabbed the toothpaste which is next to the hot tap, which is on the left, and the cold tap is on the right, and the soap is in the middle, I had in my left hand the tube of toothpaste, and in my right, my toothbrush while I rested my hand on the cold tap ready to rinse the brush before use. When something I didnt realise until I started to brush my teeth happened...

While resting on the cold tap I had not noticed my toothbrush happened to be in contact with the soap which I had just used to wash my face so was still wet, and therefore I had soap on my toothbrush, not nice...

But, as you may well have already concluded, I did not notice, and upon applying toothpaste to the brush, I began to brush away, until I thought, that tastes a bit funny.

Thats when I noticed the brush marks in the soap. :/

Today my throat is a bit sore from it. :P
