Its Been ages!




Hello Its Been bloody ages since I put anything up. Its all been dramas. Ive finished most of my english teaching now. so it is great to have more free time. But what do I do. as soon as I have any free time I get about the worst flu Ive ever had In my life. Heres me shaking and sweating on the floor of my 6 tatami mat room. God knows if it had been really bad I would have a hell of a time trying to communicate with my Korean room mate in my Faulty-towers-Manuel-esque Japanese. But luckily it went.... after about a week. then Ive been writing Two papers in Japanese one already submitted and the other due on monday, so shamefully no new art work. Instead of that. heres the full trex model from zbrush. I wasted at least a week trying to get the texturing in Zbrush working. The modeling is fantastic but the texturing is a confusing wierd buggy piece of shite. I just hope it will be sorted in the coming update. Anyhow to work around the shitty no-normal maps and texture bugs. I imported the several million poly model to XSI and between crashes I am using ultimapper to try and generate maps, occlusion /bump/displacement for the low poly model in XSI. so I will be wasting my time on that.
when I finish this paper on "the effects of traditional culture on modern Irish design."
How the hell would I know I havent lived there for 8 Years.
Dear Jesus please send me a workflow. Amen.

cool dinosaur - some more pictures would be nice. I can semi relate to the sickness thing- I've been doing a couple of freelance animation jobs for commercials-no character stuff, and a week of late nights and i'm as sick as a dog.
I can also relate to the trying to work things out/not having a work flow(not knowing what the hell i'm doing/playing catchup). Worse still I still haven't had time to check out zbrush-
so i have to live vicariously and watch you work.
cheers to you and your manuelesque japanese.
