BLOG POST I'm not done with
I'm not done with my 3D animation.
It's due Tuesday morning.
I'm only at my university on Tuesdays and Thursdays.
...
*beep*
So yes, I'm going to the university today (and spending extra bus money) to get this done. While it's rendering, I'll probably turn to another computer to work on my Flash more. Or start to write one of my papers. Whichever.
Both papers are due by Tuesday, too, by the way. 8D
*BEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEP*

*pokes the animation rendering into still frames on the next computer over* Hurry uppp, I wanna go hoooome. D8
So yes. I am done animating. 8]
But I can't figure out the program to put the still frames together on these machines so they're not going to be in video form until Tuesday since I don't wanna come in another day. |D My dad's probably wondering where the heck I am since I said I'd be done at 8. It is now 8:20. |D SORRY DAD.
*checks again* 283 out of 445. << A few more minutes maybe?
*continues to urge it on* |D
I was lazy and didn't add more to my lawnmower pushing animation. XD; Too much to deal with as is. I wanted to get the "character carrying an object" animation all nice instead.
I leave you in suspense. X]
301 now! *URGES ON*
BLOG POST Boston Creme. Ice
Boston Creme.
Ice cream.
Ben, Jerry...this is why you're my two best friends.
(I felt that warranted a post. |D)
Seems something went weird when I rendered the panels of my "character carrying an object" (still not being specific yet ;D) animation. This animation requires me to swap out a duplicate of the object so that the one already "attached" to the character's hand will be easier to make them carry (all I need to do is animate the hand, and the object will follow). Except...I think selecting motion blur to occur screwed me over. At the point where the object gets swapped with its duplicate, it disappears completely for a split second.
|D
This is where I get to blaming motion blur...
You see, motion blur takes the frame/still, looks one frame behind and one frame ahead, and averages them together to give a slight blur to show smoother movement.
Except the object and its duplicate have a frame before or after where it's not there.
Taking a frame where it exists, another where it exists, but tossing in one where it doesn't...
IT'S ONLY LOGICAL IT DISAPPEARS.
WHEE.
I am not re-rendering all those frames...
Screw that.
I'll just see if I can leave the "ghost frames" out.
Otherwise, I'll tell people to blink at a certain point.
If you didn't see it, it didn't really happen, right? 8D
RIGHT?
I ran out of ice cream near the beginning of typing all that.
...I could probably start typing up one of my papers that are due on Tuesday.
...
Later sounds better. |D (As it is half-past midnight, so that is technically today. It's not like I said, "I'll do it tomorrow," after all. ;D)
I blame the ice cream for the weird mood I'm in.

@Her: D= *mails some*
Ironically, I grew up on Haagen-Daas, and didn't discover Ben & Jerry's until I was in high school. XD; You'd think I'd find B & J first.
Probably. xD Hm. I might test
Fine. But it's Legal Studies work D: All about boring stuff too, not the interesting things.
>> > What is this "testing"
You need to do it anyway. D8< Just like I need to write a paper for senior thesis and write essays for my art history take-home final exam - neither of which I find fun nor wanna do. |D
Though apparently it's good to write the thesis paper like it's a story.
"ONCE UPON A TIME...THERE WAS AN IDEA. AND THAT IDEA BECAME...a storyboard. THE END."
xD Oh. You will have to
Fine. I'll do it >> I don't want to fail.
XD! Ah, I wish I could write my essays like that too.
"And they all lived happily ever after." 8D
But I can't think of 3
Not failing is usually a good option.
I can't write it exactly like that of course. XD; My teacher just joked (or I think he was joking..) by saying "Once a upon a time..." after saying the best way was to make it like a story. Basically, I just have to write the process/"journey" I went through on my storyboard, and make it so anyone can understand it.
You could have wished for the
Yeah. I'm doing it, but it's placing crimes in categories. ._. borin'.
It'd be cool if you could.
Y'know what annoys me? When they ask 'Why did you do this?' and the answer is "BECAUSE YOU MADE ME." XD But you can't say that.
BLOG POST & DEER STATUS My
My deer have mixed feelings about today.
Scape and Magnet wonder if their mother is doing ok, or is even still alive, for she is/was a "long-faced" red deer doe in the Black Forest of Germany. Even I don't know if she's still alive. The two of them would have wished their mates a Happy Mother's Day of course. (Expecting mothers count too! ;D)
Spade probably wished Aspen a Happy Mother's Day in the same fleeting way as Devi, though not quite as "drive-by" as it seems she did. |D (I read right in her updates, right?)
For Richter and Kinsha, this is a mixed day. Not only is it a depressing day due to their mother not being of this world anymore (and thus making it depressing), but it's also their birthday (being twins and all). Both a sad and happy day.
Toukan wonders how both his parents are doing since he pretty much ran away from home (with bad results *pokes his leg*). He doesn't regret leaving, but he does miss them.
Suiren...I'm still working out details on, but I think she only lives with her father and grandfather, so she probably sends out a mental Happy Mother's Day to her mother.
Radeon's parents are long gone from this world, but he reflects on the good times, and wishes those in his family a Happy Mother's day (directed at his sons' mates. =]).
Blue is Blue (XD).
Bastilion and Triston don't even know about this holiday.
Numb...acts like she doesn't care.
Toefat could not be reached for an opinion. He was too busy "tophatting" sleeping deer.
Whew.
That's all of them.
My mom got a coffee maker. 8] Perfect. Because she's a coffee drinker.
*sips 3rd cup of the day* ...I obviously am too. XD; Don't worry, though. Two of the cups I made were decaf.
If I stick any deer in, unless I see something interesting going on, someone I know around my deer would want to hang out with, or feel like taking a wander through the trees, they will be sleeping as I type up my senior thesis paper.
Luckily, my art history take-home exam got finished last night and emailed to my teacher. This thesis paper and my Flash are the only real worries of mine left, and they're not that difficult. =]
"You wanna scratch some of these?"
"But they're yours."
"Yea, but guess how many I did earlier?"
"How many?"
"I have no idea."
^short conversation I just had with my mom regarding the scratch-off tickets my dad got her. XD;
haha Devi is just scared
I plan on kicking Zerg in
Maybe Dark/Arch/or Lagho later.
@Sarie: "Oh Devi" indeed.
SURE. *shoves mug at* 8] But if you start going crazy...tell no one I gave you this... >> << >>
@Zerg: Cools. =D Hope I get enough of this paper done so I can have a deer be awake for awhile, and actually finish it tomorrow. |D
I'M HAVING TROUBLE STARTING IT. D8 I told my mom my teacher joked by saying to start with "Once upon a time..." and she, "Why not start with that?" She was only half-joking too. |D;
I would reccomend starting at
Alrighties. Guess I'll let
And I'm not sure I can do that with my paper unfortunately. I basically have to talk about what I did for my thesis project. That means starting at the beginning and describing each step, starting with how I got the idea I assume. I'm having trouble figuring out a good sentence to start that.
I'm going to end up not caring how it starts at this rate. |D

That reminds me that I want to do something to detail Toukan's origin. I'll have the time to do it soon too. =D

Although I could say Scape told Oisin about it. Even though I'm a bit late now.
I'm sure he would have.
But don't worry; Bast and Trist don't know about it either. XD; I'm sure they were wondering what this "Mother's Day" so many were going on about is.

My final flash - the prequel to "Desert Dessert" - is online too.
It was a hit in class.
Planning to do something in a bit with my friends. We're now talking over places to go. =]
BLOG POST I got home an hour
I got home an hour ago, and my stomach really hates me. 8D;
My friends and I got to Applebee's in time for their half-price appetizers, so we stuffed ourselves on chicken wanton tacos, chili nachos, and the appetizer sampler (mozzarella sticks, boneless buffalo wings, chicken quesadillas, spinach and artichoke dip). There was leftover nachos, and my friends weren't that into them, so, after gobbling more of them, I had them packed to take home. (Currently in the fridge.)
Then dessert. Both my friends got this triple chocolate cake, but I got the chocolate chip cookie sundae. It's basically a big chewy chocolate chip cookie with a big scoop of vanilla ice cream, topped with whipped cream, and crumbled Oreo cookies.
I AM STUFFED.
Do not expect much from me before I go to bed. |D The mountain dew made me talkative, sure, but I sounded drunk. |D;

This must the worst and most delayed caffeine low I've had ever. I've been feeling "blah" for so many hours. What basically happens is I get apathetic. I don't feel like doing anything. I don't even wanna type this really.
And it's driving me insane.
Hope this stops soon.
Wonder if I could get myself to draw something..
Also, it hasn't really hit that the semester is over yet. Hasn't sunk in that the graduation ceremony will be the last time I see my animation teachers, who apparently get to usher the event. (My 3D animation teacher I think will be leading the art majors or something like that.)
Holy shiz....graduation ceremony...Tuesday....
Nope. Hasn't sunk in.
Maybe it will then.
