Lightwave 9

I'm not here today, gone tomorrow I'm here today gone early this afternoon.

Today was a good day and while that should be explanation enough for work requirements alone I have to go into details.

I got the results for my Kitchen project (Lightwave 7) All of which I am quite pleased with.
Concept development: High Distinction
Technical Finish: High Distinction
Presentation: Distinction.

As for the work I did today it was mostly balancing lights. Before the break we were to design a structure and place it in a photograph. I finished the structure and got held up with the part second part. The technology was not doing as it was told. Lightwave would not take the Targa files for what ever reason; it was only by accident that I found out that the program took jpegs.

After putting the backdrop in and some minor stuffing around I got my building on to sit where I wanted it. Lastly there was the lighting.

A simple adjustment, a small shift of hand and mouse can and probably will knock several carefully placed objects out of place. Fortunately this only happened to me 4 or 5 times maybe more I was focused on where the object was and what I was doing it didn’t make much difference.

When I got the work to a satisfactory condition I saved, burned and buggered off.

The previous statement is to be considered very carefully as it is brimming with local dialect, self made abbreviations and would probably make more sense said out loud.

Accurately put once I was satisfied with the condition of the work and the lighting I saved it as a standard Lightwave file, exported the file as a jpeg, gathered up all related work on this assignment into a folder on the computer and copied or burnt it to a CD. Once the burning process was completed I wrote my details on the CD and on the CD case handed it in to Stuart and departed the class room to follow up on some of my other errands.

Next week is a free build to show exactly what it is we have learned and understood from the last 9 weeks of class and create magic, or art. I have decided to be spectacular but I'm not sure how yet. Either I'll figure it out or I'll make pancakes, using a real frypan and ingredients because polygons give me gas... probably.
