I woke up at 9 this morning. my class starts at 9, and its for 3 hours so i took a my time in the shower and rolled into class half an hour later. It was ok cuz today all we were doing was finishing up our projects for 3D in Maya 2009. I saved my work at 10:30 and had the TA help me finish keyframing my animation for the next hour. I really didnt know what i was doing so i need help. The last half an hour, i went through and fixed rendering errors. saved my work and left, happy to be ahead in one class the week before finals.

Chemistry is taught by a man who is crazy and rambles. on and on and on. for some reason he doesn't get the fact that he is just talking about things that a semi relevant to the chapter we just read in the book. i barely passed the last test and studied this time. so i do worse. thanks that exactly what i was looking for. the final is over every thing we "learned". by learned i mean things we never went over in class. So that final is going to blow.

Back in the animation labs, i went to show a girl my 3D work i did this morning. Booted up my name and the file is saved to where i was BEFORE i had the TA come and help me finish keyframing. FUCK. im an hour and a half behind where i was this morning. If i didnt have better judgement i would have broken the computer 5 ways to sideways.

So i had to go back to class in the drawn animation room where shaw shabaz wants us to scan the 50+ frames we drew into pencil check pro and, get this, fill in all the lines so we can color each individual frame. great. theres another 3 hours down the drain. I couldnt take it at this point, so i replaced a couple of Pencil check pro's source files with partially downloaded files. now tech services can have fun with fixing the mess i made and i dont have to color 57 frames of drawing.

This kind of reminds me of what happened to me once. I turned on the guest account on a school computer (it wasn't locked and the control panel was open) so I could save my work to the assigned computer specifically, the kid behind me saw me doing this and called me a hacker then said he was going to tell the principal. He said apparently I signed a waiver saying I wouldn't edit anything...I thought I was screwed until I remembered something, when he let me transfer my portion of the slides (for a project) to his flashdrive I saw an interesting folder mysteriously named junk. Inside it were over 30 GBA GAMES, HALO, N64 GAMES, AND A TON OF OTHER PIRATED STUFF. So now we're even.

more on-topic: Coloring all the frames would be such a pain.

@ Sir Fritz, ya im sure i did. twice. i just dont care anymore. I guess it just a matter of whether Maya wants to be nice or not. At least i didnt have it beachball in the middle of my save and lop off my robots legs, like my friend. i can imagine what id do if i had to rebuild parts of it. off topic, ive always been a fan of your ava/sig combo.

@Gamerz: will do. ill upload it here when i get a final render done.

@worlok: dude i like the story. and if i were you, i wouldnt say your even till you get a copy of his "junk" folder. and coloring all the frames? ya none of us have time to do it. we re all worried how the actually animation is going to look and dont care about color.

Btw i forgot to add the part where this kid i know from campus. his name is Matthew Weener. So the one day he comes to class wearing "guy" shadow. then the next day he changed hes name of faacebook to Matthew Moose Weener. Moose Weener? seriously? do you think before you type this to all your friends and family?

God I wonder about him (the Mathew guy). I'll need a copy now...wait...considering he's a pirate he might go to gbatemp...oh well I can just easily say I have more slides and just make a copy.

    I had a girlfriend who had a twin sister and they would mess with me constantly.... Until one chipped a tooth then finally I could tell them apart.... Lol
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    They would have the same hair style the same clothes everything... Really messed with my head lol
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    @The Real Jdbye, I could see AMD trying to pull off the CPU GPU tandem thing, would be a way to maybe close the gap a bit with Nvidia. Plus it would kinda put Nvidia at a future disadvantage since Nvidia can't make X86/64 CPUs? Intel and AMD licensing issues... I wonder how much that has held back innovation.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    i don't think nvidia wants to get in the x64 cpu market anyways
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    you've seen how much intel is struggling getting into the gpu market
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    and nvidia is already doing ARM
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    i don't think they want to take more focus away from their gpus
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Yeah I think Nvidia s future lays in AI GPU acceleration stuff if they can get that going it's going to be super interesting in the long term
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    AI assisted game creation might become a thing
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    At least that's something I think would be pretty cool.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Don some VR glasses and gloves and talk to the computer and paint entire worlds

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Many TBs of assets and the programming of something like that is going to be tough but I think it's something we might see in 20 years maybe sooner
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @Psionic Roshambo AI assisted game creation is kinda already here, there was recently that AI that can turn any 2D image into a fully modeled 3D object, it's not perfect, but it's a starting point, beats starting from zero

  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    before that there was one to generate a fully modeled scene from a 2D image
    +1
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    but most recently, there was one that actually generates a working unity scene with terrain and textures already set up that you can import right into unity, that's a huge time saver right there

  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    and using LLMs to generate NPC dialogue and even dynamically generated quests is something i'm sure is already happening

  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    will just take some time for games made using those things to be completed and released
