Shit, i'm so talented with alliteration.

Four weeks left in the semester and I am so bogged down with work. My mom loves seeing us slave over our homework and projects, so she's exceptionally happy with me working my ass off. I guess it's an asian mom thing.

I'm finally getting Maya to work for me on the computer downstairs. We're modeling a character from a design of our own, but I'll be damned if i can't even make a stumpy little hello kitty look-a-like. Right now i'm having issues with the character's mouth...the corners are puckered almost like a strange wrinkle, and I can't figure out how to get it in a closed and open position for animation yet without it distorting.

If that wasn't enough, the skeletons they provided us in class don't work on my version of maya (2009) so I'm going to have to build my own. Anybody know any good tips or websites/videos I can check out?

By the way, this is gorgeous.

This guy is making 3D models from the original faces you could choose from in FFXI's character creation. You know, the original ones that you didn't think would look so hideous when you actually played the game? Although I'll admit that the white-haired mithra with the part down the middle looks better in game than in the character creation

I wish I knew how to rip the models and textures into maya, i'd have a field day just playing around with them for fun/personal use. Here's the thread, beware of the random adult material though. I just loved looking at the 3D renderings and wishing that's what FFXI really looked like.

But yeah.

Anyways, I've gotta get back to work. I somehow miraculously turned a D- into a B+ for my clay modeling class. I wish i knew which letter grades were "passing" at AAU lol.

I'm thoroughly annoyed by Square Enix for making payment matters so darn hard.

I mean, I'm the cardholder but it won't let me through for my friend...

It works for me though (the first card didn't, my second one did)
