Congrats on the birthdays and engagements folks :smiley:

CG related: Finishing up a wild west type scene for a work project that Iā€™ve had a lot of fun with and am happy with how it turned out. And once thatā€™s done have another fun project in the pipeline. My jobā€™s been a blast lately.

Also, was able to get a good friend of mine from college a job here. He started Monday.

Non CG related: Joined a new pool league and my team shot really well last night. And the other league we play in we finished in the top 5. Good times.

Finally a guy with a real age! :Dā€¦

I landed my first gig when I was 17 as well (in games). But now Iā€™m an old fart. 20 :stuck_out_tongue:

Iā€™m sure you got the feeling ā€œyou know everythingā€. :rolleyes:

Only about Ketchup and team fortress 2ā€¦ :slight_smile:

#105

I just graduated as a European Media Master of Arts at the Utrecht School of the Artsā€¦ so Iā€™m rather merry. I wrote a supportive narrative in which I proposed three models that look at games in a dualistic way, see characters as composed of a multitude of recomposable traits and I discuss governance of agents via three factors: players, autonomy and providence.
Along with it I had a large demo that was coded from the ground up of which I am rather proud as well.

So, thereā€™s a nice day :slight_smile: the game Iā€™ll manage to get on my website tomorrow or soā€¦

Finished my 3rd day of community college (2nd day of art classes, from 8am in the morning till 6pm at night)

-Learned about sculpting and the original ā€œmodelingā€ process. Wax is an annoying medium, I need some nice clay, any suggestions?

-Spent $300 bucks on paint and other art supplies, and ā€œpaintedā€ with a pallet knife.

-Drawing on large paper with sharpies sucks.

Recession or notā€¦ Iā€™m happyā€¦ Donā€™t have a job yetā€¦ Just had 2 freelance projectsā€¦ The last client wanted a 3d walkthrough of an entire construction site that he was buildingā€¦ He helped me get a computer for my personal use along with a Quadro FX 580 video card. Thank you Jesus!! Never had a computer that had the power to even LOAD any 3d software :slight_smile:

Pyke, if I were you, Iā€™d have kept my money and continued saving until I had the budget to begin construction on an orbital weapons platform from which to oversee my global domination plans.

I can only complete the launch bay once my secret underground volcanic lair is completed. And considering Im getting it sculpted out of ice, its taking some time. Apparently ice and lava dont mix well.

Who knew?

Vroom! :smiley:
