Well I'm still alive. . .
I've been working on an animation lately, in fact I dropped out of school to work on it. People have been giving me some shit for dropping out but LBCC dosen't offer any classes on CGI (Computer Generated Images, Pixar type stuff). So now I have this reference manual and I'm teaching myself how to use Strata 3D CX, which I was told is the "cheap" version of what the "professionals" use. Works fine for me, I've been using an older version for four years now. I estimate due to rendering time, animating, composing music, adding voice overs, sound effects and working/leisure time I expect to be done with the animation around April-May 2005. Maybe I'll post it on the net somewhere but the file is going to be big, really big.
