IT'S ONLY WEEK ONE D8

Oct 08, 2009 09:30

Homg I knew this quarter was going to suck but it is only now that I realize how much it does.

I have 3 of my core classes this quarter + one general and I'm only on day four of week one. I already feel like ripping my hair out.

- Advanced 3D Modeling -

Granted this class hasn't been bad YET...however I have two models I have to complete on week 5. One of which is an old WWI British Nighthawk which honestly doesn't seem so bad but we'll see how it all goes. Another is a product that someone else wants me to model however I don't know what that is yet.

The thing that has me worried is what's called our 9th level review. In it we have to show examples of what we have worked on through our year. Included are 2 best illustrations, 2 best models (which shouldn't be a problem, I have an idea for one at least) and 2 animations. The animations present a problem since I've only had ONE CLASS that relates to animation and that was my INTRO to 2D class...and I've been told they don't want to see that.

So essentially that means I have to come up with two. One I'll probably use from my intro to 3D class but another is a Flash that I'm trying to do on my own (and failing miserably)...better than nothing I suppose.

-Lighting and Materials-

This class isn't bad, it essentially has to do with unwrapping and texturing the 3D models we did in our Intermediate Modeling class. This is the fun part in my opinion. So I'm actually kind of looking forward to doing this. I'll probably be able to put the textured models in my 9th level review to 8D

-Intro to 3D Animation-

URGGGHHH. URRRGGGHHHHHHHHH. This class is such a pain for me. I hate using 3Ds Max, it's frustrating to because it won't let me undo the changes I make to one of the objects when animating. So if I screw up big time I have to essentially re-open the file. Which happens...A LOT and I don't save that often. *Sigh* Hopefully I'll come out of this alive

-Contemporary Art-

The gen ed I have. I've had the teacher for art history before and she's a down right pain in the ass. She gets overly emotional and doesn't enjoy doing her job...or perhaps enjoys it too much. Blegh...hopefully it won't be too bad. Art History was a PAIN.

Needless to say, I'm going to be swamped with work for a while. To all those waiting on commissios I'm going to have to ask you to be a little more patient as I'm not really able to work on them right now. 8< Sorry guys, I didn't anticipate it was going to be THIS bad.

I hope I can get through this quarter without suffering a mental break down. X.X

fml, college, stress
