Last quarter...

Finally it's my last quarter in college...so three more months of school work...unfortunately I won't be free after these three months...I have to work hard for job hunts and I have a group project to complete. This quarter I have three studios. I actually have one more major class to complete to get the degree but I take two extra classes because I believe they are going to be benefit for my demo reel. I take Animation Portfolio, Technical Direction for Compositing, and Photorealistic Rendering.

Unfortunately, during the first week of class, I had been having high fever for several days. It was actually my first time! Can you believe that? It was so difficult for me to get sick before. This time was pretty severe for me. I had high spike fever (over 105.9F), shaking chill, headache, and vomitted after I woke up or ate. It was totally hell those days so I decided to visit the doctor. Finally, I had a chance to use my international student health insurance card for the first time....lol....wasn't so bad! I took medicines for several days and now I'm feeling a lot better....still have to take medicines though.

The last winter break I went back to Beijing and went to Hong Kong with mom and sis. I had so many good food this time I went back and I actually bought lots of clothes. I still think Asian life is the best. I turned 22 this winter break too....Didn't celebrate or anything and didn't get any present from mom and dad >_<...how sad...but mom brought me and sis to Hong Kong so I guess that's a present as well.

Some pics during the break...

^o^

Final done with my Senior2!!!! It's good that I don't need to render out the whole thing. The only requirement is a playblast and 2 render shots....Here is my render shots from my Senior animation...I still need to fix some problems though...But then I will leave it until next quarter...I really need a rest during this Winter break!

Finals

I've been so busy this whole quarter especially during this final week. After this quarter I have one more quarter to go then I will be out of school. Can't imagine what's gonna happen at that time. Hopefully a lot of good things will happen to me next year.

I've been doing my final animation for the past few weeks and have been doing the rendering for each shot. I am not quite satisfied with my animation and all that except my lighting and rendering parts. I guess animation is not what I want to go for in the future. I'm pretty happy when I do lighting and rendering. It just makes me feel so good when the rendered images turn out really awesome. I think I have improved my lighting skills and I found out that I actually learned a lot from the lighting class I took two quarters ago.

I've also been doing my flame shader in Renderman these few days. I found out that this project is actually due earlier than what I expected. I was kind of worried because it is actually not as easy as I thought. The whole shader was done using scripting. I'm still amazed that I can actually write a shader using scripting language. I didn't even know much about shaders (even in Hypershade) before this class. I guess I've learned quite a lot. Back to my flame shader...It finally turns out pretty decent (for a first-timer). I know it's not yet perfect and it's still required some tweak and improvement but for what I've done in 2-3 days, I'm quite satisfied with the result already.

Hopefully will have all my renders done by this Tuesday.

Woohoo~It's Fall again~

I haven't come to update here for awhile...hehe...Have been lazy to update this blog...This Summer I went back to Thailand during the break...I finally did not manage to get the internship...It was ok...At least I know that the place where the company is located sucks...I think it was a better idea to go back and stay with my family and friends. I had a lot of shoppings and went to some cool places. I also had an unforgettable experience from my trip to Kao Yai in Thailand. I was almost get killed by the wild elephants...lol...It was really awesome though. I also went to Ampawa with my family and relatives. It is a very artsy and friendly place. I saw fireflies there the first time in my life even though I felt regret somehow that they do not look like what I imagined before.

My Fall quarter has begun for two weeks. I am officially a senior student and I actually have two quarters left before I graduate. Time passes really fast (this is what I always said). I feel like I didn't do much at all these pass few years. This quarter is a lot better for me because I finally can adjusted my sleep and wake-up time. I don't want to do overnight anymore. I want to be a healthier person that can utilize my time efficiently and produce better work for my portfolio. I should really start to be serious about my future career even though I still don't want to say goodbye to my college life.

One thing that is good for being an art student is that we never feel old and out-of-fashion. We are the creative minds that can do anything we want and when people blame us we could fight back by saying 'Because We are Art Student'....lol....I guess that is a very good excuse for us...But yea...we have to depend on the situation as well.

Yay...........!
