Modelling Minutiae

I still haven't gotten the model imported into RCT3 to test it. I kept finding little things I wanted to perfect and that took up all my time. Not a bad problem to have if you ask me, because it ended up in me improving the model.

Oh, and for some reason I'm compelled to vocalize my gratitude for my awesome chiclet keyboard and laser mouse that I am using to create this blog post. I am blessed with stuff that I totally don't deserve for reasons that I don't understand.

Good News Bad News

Yes, it's that time again. Time to relay multiple pieces of information in succession with the qualifiers of "Good" and "Bad." It's time for...... Good News Bad News!!!!

The bad news is two pronged:

1. I have not worked on Axis Mundi for more than an hour or so since I made my last post this March.

2. I have not yet broken my March Madness post count from last year.

Now, if you are an extreme pessimist, you may be thinking "What sort of news could even COME CLOSE to POSSIBLY offsetting this world-ending, tragic news?" Well, just wait and see. The good news all happened between my last post and now and is 3 pronged:

1. The day after I made my last post, I was able to overcome my musical creative block, and I made some pretty awesome music.

2. I got a job.

3. I found out that I got a full scholarship to college.

See? There was some good news after all.

Yeah. I get to go to college for free. That's pretty awesome, I must say. And what makes it even sweeter, is that I am going to college to study computer animation. This needs to be repeated in italicized, bold font. I am going to college to study computer animation. Basically, what I am doing now as a hobby will eventually become what I will study in school, and even get paid to do after I graduate. I can't really think of better news than that.

Radical Racer's Run

I finished editing my Blender animation, and it's rip roaring to go, so go ahead and watch it.....

Done? Hopefully you liked it. I must admit that I really enjoy a lot of aspects of doing CGI in Blender. You have complete control over everything. You can make absolutely anything that you want, and make it do anything that you want. You don't have to try over and over again to nail a shot. The only thing that limits you is... rendering time. The rendering time for this film wasn't all that bad. Most of the time it took between 2 and 10 minutes to render each frame. Near the end, however, something went wrong and rendering took waaaay too long. We're talking 2 hours per frame, just for that red debris at the end. I probably could have fixed it, but oh well. It's all done now.

I just realised as I was writing this that today is the 3 year anniversary of my most popular video, "Hugest RCT3 Crash on YouTube." It's a bummer that "Radical Racer's Run" almost certainly won't even come close to a fraction of the views that the "Hugest RCT3 Crash on YouTube" has.

But who knows? It's possible that this new video could have 85,000 views in 3 years.

Not.
