Lightwave, Modo, and MAX, Oh My!

     The electronic studuio department here at Howard is showing me great things. We have an awesome professor who worked for Axis Games before he started teaching here. He is very in tune with what goes on in the corporate 3D modeling world. I love it here. The things I am starting to create here are amazing. I look forward to each new day and the challenges it presents. Below is a simple text animation I made using Lightwave and Modo. The base design came from a font I found on dafont.com by FR Design, called "Qubix." I used a little too much volumetric lighting so the render time was a little long and I should have made the camera moves a little slower, but I like how it turned out.



     Haven't been doing so well with the whole diet thing though. Still the same 270Lbs since school started. I probably just need to incorporate more exersise into my plan. I still ride my bike everyday but that might be the only reason I haven't gained any weight while eating all this cafeteria food. Time to go get the OATZ. I've been reading some information from a certain image board that advises working mostly on the larger muscle groups to help overall performance when it comes to becoming Alpha. Forget the bicep curls, It's all about the squats and bench press.

   Got the chance to play GOW3 online for the first time this weekend. I love the game but I hate how fast the characters move now. I miss the days where your character was big, chunky, and moved with a purpose. The sawed off is a noob weapon but I still think the game is incredibly well balanced. Great job Epic. Thank you for bringing us another hit.
