Lightwave 8

I had a fairly quiet day today.

Class work didn’t start until late because of class numbers fortunately most if not all of the group showed up eventually to do some work.

Today we were learning how to make a 3D image fit into a photo. The 2 things I've kept in mind is that 2 or more lights are needed to help with the blending and you will need to adjust the horizon line in the Lightwave animation program to help keep the balance.

The sort of structure I built resembles a box on a table with some steps leading up to the front. The general shape reminds me of Asian architecture. I think it is because of the shape of the roof and the red support posts.

I personally liked my stairs, 2 cylinders angled and the space filled in with small boxes. I strongly suspect I will have to cut down on my support posts and stairs though to help keep the proportions.

Brendan's house is coming along slowly but he is starting to get a very good handle on the basic use of the tools. If the course went twice as long by the end of it he'd be setting up 3D structures and models in his sleep.

I haven’t seen how any of the others are managing, they seem to be doing fine based on the idea that they aren’t asking for help, or if they are it isn't related to the program.

Leo shared with the group the truth about Mexican beers and the lemons the bar staff try and serve it with. Not that it is related to the class work but it did happen in class.

The housing assignment is due in at the end of next class; with mid term break next week I've got until 2pm 2nd October to get the work done.
