Grrr!!!
Today was a horribly long and stress filled day. And sadly, it's not over yet. Fridays my roomies and I have Scripting Basics for Animators, and TODAY we had the midterm and Lab Practical. Midterm wasn't bad...but it's still a test that counts for a huge chunk of the final grade. The practical, however...
Well...I did everything that I was asked to do...but the snowman I was supposed to make is wearing a sphere for a hat instead of a top hat...and his mouth is a straight cylinder that doesn't even conform to his face. Why? BECAUSE MAYA IS A HO! That's why! I defined all my variables, called for them correctly, set up the string and temporary deformer variables fine...but she refused to pay attention to the linear deformers and ignored the cluster deformers because "That is an undefined variable!" >_< I spent the last 45 minutes of lab trying to figure it out and finally said "FUCK IT!" (yes, outloud as well) and turned in my MEL file.
I'm sure it was something stupid. None the less it makes me angry even though it was extra credit because I had it RIGHT. But apparently not right enough for Maya. I left all the deformer scripts in there anyway in hopes it may actually work on the Lab Instructor's computers or that they will see that I DO understand the concepts and give me partial credit.
But still....GRRR!
And to boot...I have 8 hours of class tomorrow (Yes...on a SATURDAY) and I need 1/3 of my Hi-Res game model done by lecture at 1. Going to be a late night and I'm already sleep deprived from cutting sleep time back to study, script, and model earlier in the week. It's like..."WELCOME BACK TO FULL SAIL! GG WTFPWNED ENJOY!"
