Training over the holidays:
Well I wish I could say that I did a lot over the holidays but that would be lying, I played computer games, visited places, made merry and watched TV for the first time in ages. However holidays are over now and it's time to get back to doing some serious work, about a month ago I picked up a copy of the intermediate rigging from CG academy which only cost £36.00 to purchase from the website (Which is - http://www.cg-academy.net/academy.net/) it will help me with my upcoming project that is based on rigging.
I have also been working on the stage\Obstacle course that my 6 characters will have to get to the end of.
They will start from the white cube on the right(the white cube is the size of the average human man - 1.8 meters) and they will limp to the flag with the medical cross on it, from there on a shall be healed (Hallelujah!) walk normally up the stairs and then have to jump across a pit of lava. From there on they have to walk down a flight of stairs and then come to a spike filled pit and balance across one or more planks (depending on amount
of legs) they will then have to go down another flight of stairs and jump over a small wall, they will then come to a spinning disc and attempt to cross, rig and then happily walk to the finish line which is green. My first character will only have one leg -the poor bastard.
If anyone has any good ideas for improvements on the stage please let me know, hopefully the lectures will give me some good ideas tomorrow at the review.

Playing around with Sky and lighting:
I have been playing around with lighting quite a lot lately, with some very interesting results. The new lighting, materials and rendering systems in 3D Max 2009 make images that were created before even more beautiful... Well that's if you intended them to look that way.
I have also been experimenting with her voice recognition software provided with windows Vista, in fact I haven't typed any of this text you are reading now it is all being dictated to the computer. The image was also inserted without the use of keyboard or mouse. However it does take a lot of training before it works properly.
An experiment with lighting called Mr sun'
I picked this image from a previous projects which was titled 'germinator 2000' this craft was originally designed to fit in a futuristic toilet block as a nanofighter and come eliminate any germs when activated.
