One of those

You know those posts where I say a bunch of words but none of them ever tell you anything at all besides the fact that I am alive and working but who knows when the heck I'll be done? Yeah. This is one of those. Well, here it goes:

I've been working on The Battle for Axis Mundi today. Mainly modelling. Nope, sorry, not gonna give you any screenshots.

That was it. Congratulations, you may in fact be reading the most uninteresting blog in the universe.

Actually trying to make progress

Continued getting ready to proceed with filming today. I.E. getting RCT3 files onto my laptop that I need for filming. Of course, that didn't take very long; my main obstacle is still modelling. Soon, though, I might start texturing! Yes, it's getting that close! And after I finish modelling, texturing, and rigging I'll start animating the most important scenes in the film! Huzzah!

But for the rest of today I will be working at my regular job :(

Oh and I had a great vacation last week. That's why there weren't immediate updates after I said I was actually working :D. Yes, I'm actually going to start working now!

Back on track

Today I started working again. I think I was subconsciously waiting until I played Crysis 2. Now that I've gotten in all the game playing that I was anticipating, I can hopefully spend at least a portion of every day being productive.

Today I was primarily modeling. Actually, I was exclusively modeling. Why I correct statements like that with another sentence when I could just replace the original text is beyond me.

Looks like it's time for Crysis 2

Looks like I'm totally eating my words now. Crytek is coming out with a DX11 patch. This I knew already. The thing that surprised me was when they released more info about said patch, the list of changes included a high resolution texture pack and real-time reflections. Both of these things are significant improvements that I honestly did not think Crytek would go to the trouble to include. It basically shows that they actually care about the PC market. These are great features that will make the game what it should have been at release. When I heard the news I immediately ordered the game off of amazon. It should arrive Tuesday, one day after the patch.

Great, just more ways for me to procrastinate.

Please don't be mad at me...

Well, my laptop has been gone this week because it's hard drive failed. So I've been getting absolutely no work done while it's been getting it's hard drive replaced. Of course, it's not as though I was getting any work done before this incident, either.

Don't worry about my data, though. I have a complete system image backed up on my trusty external HDD, so I haven't lost a single hour of work.

Basically this doesn't mean anything to you. I haven't lost any progress, and I haven't made any progress. Why am I posting this then? Oh, wait, I went over that already.

Well anyway, I hope you're not mad that I've been in procrastination land this summer. I just haven't felt like working... and maybe that's totally lame and someday I'll realize how lame I am, but for now I feel justified in not beating myself up that I haven't "spent enough time" on my current project. And I hope you aren't mad about that.
