Work placement 1

This blog here is to keep track of my work done during my work placement class.
As it is week one and an assortment of problems have come up like the rest of the class we do not have our work placement job sites yet. As placement has yet to start the information in the posts will become more relevant and useful. Until then it is nonsense or nothing, as you can see I made my decision.

Lightwave 1

There are two versions of this week’s Lightwave class, the short version and the long version.

The short version ran a little something like this, welcome back, here is some new people to introduce and here is some work to do.

The long version goes for about 3 hours and is in real time, and seeing as I already lived through it I'm not going to put write that down.

Today we started on the 3D program Lightwave, it comes in two parts a modelling section and a filming section. It is one of the most complex programs I have seen, with the use of both mouse buttons and case sensitive hotkeys.

So far I can see a vast opportunity to make some real stuff ups, the main thing to remember is after finishing with a tool to press spacebar otherwise the last shape will stretch to where the mouse last clicked.

Assessment project 1 is to make a surreal kitchen; it only has to be surreal so we do not get too stressed out about the fine details. So far the best idea I've got is a zebra skin teapot I'm sure things will improve as I learn more of the program.

Seeing as I've nothing more productive to write on the subject today I am signing out catch you next time folks

Filler 6, 7 and 8

Filler 6 through 8 went out drinking and never came back in time to be posted.

Uni has started back so regular posts relevant to the my lightwave class and my work placement class starting very shortly.

Gotta go back and start paying attention to what work I'm supposed to be doing now.

Filler 5

As the title suggests more filler

This toilet wall
With all it's wit
One would think
Shakespear himself
Came here to shit

Stick around the quality of these things has not even come close to touching bottom yet.

More filler next week.

Dont worry uni starts back in a few more weeks.
