Lightwave 6

What a shit of a day.

Technology, can't work with it, can't pass without it.

Technically speaking today has been one problem after then next.

I came in early to get a start on the kitchen project only to find the computer with my exercises on it has been locked, some illegitimate glow worm (bright bastard) had put a password on the computer, worse then that they made it so that I cannot get in to retrieve my work from other computers on the network. The tech team was not much help, he tried the password combinations I had already tried without any luck and will get around to resetting it later on.

So I've moved to another system this one works at its own pace with the widgets, popping up at will and the windows shrinking down into a group view, the mouse responds poorly and if it wasn’t for the cost of replacement I think I would have ruined it by now.

Now back to the work some of the project tutorials are easy enough to follow others are not. The video started talking about welding without showing where the function is hidden or a shortcut key(s) to use it. Later on I found it in another video as control w.

Some of the software problems encountered are my own fault such as not making enough knife cuts on the polygons to properly control the movements simple objects like bowls and plates are quite nice and easy to make.

A circle shape from the disc or ball tool, some extruding and bevelling and a quick tidy up with the tab key makes something shaped like something you'd eat off.

I am really looking forward to getting back on to MM13 the controls work, my work is there and... Hell I think I'd save myself a headache if I just went and made the project out of Lego I'd use clay but I'm not up to getting grubby right now these issues have sucked the fun right out of me and have left me not feeling my usual self.

On the plus side I'm not as sick as I was and should be back on my feet without a blocked or runny nose or that "delightful" cough.

This project is due next week expect an update then.
