Lightwave 2

Ah Lightwave, what can I say, I think I am starting to get the hang of doing some basic things in the program. I still find a few ways to mess up the work I am doing but most of that comes down to not knowing all of the basics of the program.
This means I know enough to help Brendan out but not enough to completely finish my own work.

Today was frypan day the most holy day in the uni calendar... we celebrate with offerings of fried eggs, bacon pancakes and other assorted foods thrown for varying amounts of time until the food is cooked. This is not true for television chefs they only "cook" the food until it is pinker and bloody on the inside then the outside.

On a more relevant note the class started the kitchens today by making the frypan. It is fairly simple in construction provided that all the computer and program's settings are on zero or neutral (poor Tash had one with some crazy settings) Basically it is a disk that is stretched and bevelled into a bowl shape and a rectangular prism shape stuck on the side and shaped to look more like a handle.

Already I can see a lot of potential for me with this program but that also means a lot of room for some horrendous mistakes. Still I'd like to try and "sculpt" a dragon it may be a little too ambitious at the moment but if I can find a copy of the program and a computer to run it on it'd be nice to give it a whirl.

Well that’s a lot of text I'm off for another week.
Not to be confused with off because of expiry dates as I wasn't born with one unless you are some kind of super natural type person then you can just keep that information to yourself.

Till next time

a dragon sounds good looking forward to seeing the results, and maybe if Brendan bugged me a little more maybe you'd get more work done ;)
