The Unofficial end of the First Year War...

Though the offical dates for the end of the year arent here yet... but due to the clearing of all my assignments and only one single Java test in the distance.. its somewhat over... Finally...

However I do feel abit sad though... the year passed by so fast and our class isnt as bonded as I hoped... I guess i'll try to organize a class outing some day so at least we keep in contact and touch with one another...

I have to admit my portfolio still isnt that impressive as im rather poor in the creative art and drawing department... but my 3D and STSB are still my prime modules... though there are others better than me for sure. VAF wasnt that bad at all... at least I learnt some video techniques that I can use in my future 3D/CG projects. (Though I still hate Java to the core).

I guess i'll spend the holidays working on my 3D.. I've got a long list of what I wanna pick up and learn already for future animation projects...

Dynamics,Particle Effects.
Human Character Modelling, Rigging, IK, Animation
Model a whole slew of new weapons and adding weapon mods to my earlier gun works
General Rigging and IK.
Improve my Texturing and Lighting.

Strangley I've got plans for everything...
For the Human character.. I'm going to use a character from my writing universe
Then for the new weapons.. mainly WW2 stuff... kinda influenced by Company of Heroes I guess.

I'm going to give a shot at the Allied American Weapons and the Axis German weapons first by making the more famous M1 Garand, M1A1 Thompson, the M1918A2 BAR, MP40, FG 42, G43, Kar 98k. Then I'm going to move on to a vehicle or two... maybe a M4A3 Sherman and a Panzer IV? I'm working on being primarily a modeller though... though i wouldnt mind being an animator as well. Im just not that good at Lighting and Texturing stuff.

For my own writings... I seemed to have make the step into areas normally outside my genre and expanded on the specialisations of the characters....

Staff Sgt. Saori is no longer just a sniper.. but an assassin, skilled in long range marksmanship, close combat knife fighting and assassination techniques. She is also now the primary medic.

Master Sgt. Sakura is also now a half blooded demon (Dont know where the heck I got that idea from) and a partially cyberized person. Same role as before except now she is also a stylish in-combat executioner. Third in Command

1st Lt. Yuki is now a genetic experiment that succeeded and is a social outcast, with people shunning her for her behavioral quirks and outlandish looks, with her silver hair and yellow eyes. Still the expert combat acrobatic gunslinger as before, except is now endowed with the skills of interrogation, investigation and is an expert on torture techniques (Without killing them of course).

That's so far all the changes... havent thought of anything new for the remaining three yet though... oh well..

I have to help out in my upcoming SMIT FOC as well... so I wont be around for some days... Not to mention I might have some other social commitments at the same time.

Well in anycase.. you can always contact me on MSN or just leave a message in that Tagboard there :P.

Take care all!
