I'm still alive
I thought I was dead in the last week, almost died at least. Four assignments and two tests came to me in one week, I've never been that busy in my life. Every time when a new assignment is assigned I tell myself to start it earlier, but I never actually start it earlier, so I have to do everything at the end, working overnight. I haven't got any sleep for several days, buried myself in the lab doing those assignments. 3D design, stats, and java programming, the crapy thing is that those computers we use to do 3D modeling are damned slow, it takes ages to render animations, and crash always happens in the mid of the work. We use Blender to do 3D modeling as the course requires, and it's my first time that i've used this tool, and our assignment is to design a creature or a character has two faces, two arms, tow legs and one tail, I drew a dinosaur with a pair of wings on its back, because it has too many vertices, so I got a little trouble when I applied armature and grouped vertices. Hassle happned when I was rendering my animation on the lab machine, it took me one hour to finish, but it always crashed for no reason when it was almost done, so I did it three times which took me about three hours.. Eventually I rendered successfully, however the access for the online submit was shut... So I only could contact our lecturer and he told me to burn my work on a CD and gave him. I handed in it anyway.
