Back to the grind.

Monday morning has been the first time that I really didn't want to go to class. I have been so into it for the last two weeks it's been awesome.... well until this weekend which was just to sunny and great that I would have enjoyed anouther day. I guess it didn't help that I left on Friday totaly confused about creating character sets and I didn't reallt want to ask the lecturer cause it's the French guy and I wouldn't have understood him anyway.
Thankfully after a little persistance I managed to figure out where I was going wrong and I think I have a better understanding for it. I wasn't to concerned with the rest of the day because we where looking at animation again, even though I'm listening to what this guy has to say and taking it all in just in case there happens to be a pearl of wisdom I can't say he's got me covinced. He showed us his work last week and I didn't think it was to crash hot (not that I can do better...yet) listening to his theories on keyframing I'm doubtful that his methods will lead to the production of great animation, so for the time being I focusing on the other aspects of Maya and I will leave the animation until my AM starts in 4 weeks. Ohhh sooo close now!! :D Oh yeah and did I say my stuff wasn't better than his well my jumping egg was. It was supposed to have character in his words "make it think like a person". Well no person in there right mind would jump in the air and then streach out their body straight on the way down, that is a damn good way to bust your knees!! So he went for the stretch and I went for the squash on the way back down, I guess we will have to agree to disagree on that one.
