Amazingly enough it feels like I'm putting in more work this semester for 9 units than I have ever done compared to past semesters. My main focus this time around is to expand on Rebirth as a way to link all my classes together.

3D Media
Mostly the extra time in class I need to model, texture, animate, and learn new stuff about 3D max. I enjoy the fact that there are others who decided to stay with the class from last semester to try out some new things. I wouldn't have learned half as much if it weren't for them.

Emerging Tech
Taking the class for the first time means I have to spend time working on some smaller exercises involving getting to know Macromedia Director and basic interaction software. The plus side is the fact that a computer science class uses the same room we do which means I can learn a little more on how to expand my 3D modeling into game engines like Torque and Source. I found someone who can help me in my ambition to finally create a small 3D game using Director. I am leaving all the coding aspects to him, for now I am waiting on seeing if we can start with simple objects moving around in a 3D space before moving on to bringing in Tweeter.

Sequential Media
The first assignment I turned in for this class was a small flash animation for Rebirth's preview as seen in my gallery. This more than any class is whats keeping the pressure on me to model and animate as fast as I can because the deadlines are so close to each other. My goal for this class is to produce the opening scenes as well as cut scenes for Rebirth.

So there you have or at least as far as goals and ambitions go. Later one when I finally get a character moving around in a 3D space I'll explain what game mechanics I plan to put in the game.

In other news, I reapplied for Cybercamps @ UCSD so I hope to see some of last years campers there. It be awesome if they get a course in 3D media going on this summer that I can teach. Maya would be awesome also since it give me a chance to learn it in addition to 3D max. I'll most likely be the instructor for game design and 3D game design again if anything else.

One last thing, [link]
Emerald Coast Comics is up again with some new work along with a few new artist as well. I'll be around to help out with inking, colors, and lettering so maybe you'll see my stuff around there once in a while.
