Week 12 Comments

This week we started to learn Maya and 3D for the first time. I have been excited to use Maya for some time now, and I am very happy about starting this unit. What made me happy this week was seeing that everyone enjoyed my 2D short. A lot of work went into it, and it's good to see people enjoy it and supply some justified critique. What frustrated me this week was making the helmet in Maya. Some of the instructions aren't very clear and I had to ask for help more times than I usually do ever. I kinda hate making the dumb helmet but I have to get through it to get to the more fun tutorials and I hear it's the worst one so that's a relief. I'm looking forward to finishing the helmet and also starting more character based modeling which is the thing I've wanted to learn the most forever now.
Now here's the link of interest.

I was close to putting the the Ant-Man trailer (which I think looks good but some people are tending to differ) but I decided to put this instead. This is a full remake of Super Mario 64 (one of the best games of all time in my opinion) created by a bunch of fans who are passionate about Mario as much as I am. It looks great so far and now that Nintendo is not shutting down non-profit fan projects, this is definataly something to look forward to. Unless Nintendo shuts this down anyways for no reason, and if you do Nintendo I'll still buy all your games and love you forever (But I won't be happy about it!)
Also probably something worth mentioning is that today is my Birthday. So now I can officially see R rated movies and buy M rated games, even though they let 12 year olds get away with that anyways....
