Hey everyone. Not much has happened yet since my last post, at least not outside the world of animation. ._. Actually, someone today told me they were going to a camp for the weekend, so I won't see them until Monday. I will miss this *ahem* special someone ;) over the 2 days, but I do wish her well. ^^
...and by forum I mean the WALL-E forum that I go on all the time.
...
...
again, you can stop laughing at any time. B-(
...anyway, back to how this relates to the animating, it means that get more me-time to mess around with stuff!!!!!
PIVOT------------------------------------------------------------
.
Yayayayayayayyyyyy I gotz teh microphone!!!!!! 8-)
It was an array microphone though (like the ones used on stage), so the jack was only for an amp, and not a computer, so I had to wait a day to get that from Dan. Sorry for not updating you on that yesterday *cowers* Anywho, I got the jack today, so I can do the recordings this weekend If I don't get a crapload of homework yay!!!!!!!
....also I will have a preview of Stick It 2: Stick Dat in the end credits, so you peeps can look forward to that!!!! :D
BLENDER---------------------------------------------------------
.
I plan on doing something for Blender this weekend, preferably with Blender For Dummies, maybe not depending on how much stuff I have to do and how much privacy I get at home. It's mostly gonna be a Pivot weekend since I got my microphone and i'm so close to finishing this meme.
However, I will try to get some messing around done in Blender this weekend despite the inevitable landslide of homework, for those of you (fellow?) Blenderheads out there. If I do use the book, I will be reading from...hang on...
Part I: Wrapping Your Brain Around Blender
Chapter 4: Working In Edit Mode And Object Mode
Discovering Parents, Childrens, And Groups
...like I said, i'm a N00b! :P
BLENDER TIP OF THE POST:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
.
I've actually decided to change something around here with this "Blender Tips" thingy. I will still have it, of course, but now it will only come by commenter request. If you would like to know how to do anything in Blender, anything at all, just leave a comment! You can request pretty much anything you want, as long as it's specific enough.
Like don't ask me how to "Make a Wood Texture". That would be a tutorial. And don't ask me "How do I make my guy move?" That's not specific enough.
...outside of those guidelines, however, pretty much anything can come by request. It can be as simple as asking how to add a mesh to as complicated as adding modifiers or making a big particle system. I just take it straight from the book, I don't even understand 3/4ths of the stuff he puts in there!!! :D
that's it for this post....oh yeah, and i'm also exporting this blog to wordpress, to get more publicity!!!!! i'll still be here, of course, im just.....expanding. Blogger isn't a real great place to have a blog that you want to have a lot of people follow you, I think Wordpress is more social than Blogger is. I really don't know at this point in time, i'll have to check it out.

AAAAAAAAARRRRRGH!!!!!!!
Hi everyone, sorry I haven't updated in like a week, but there's a credible reason for that.
anyway, I was about to be on spring break when you last heard from me. I am now off of spring break, so here come the all-anticipated updates...
*drumroll*
PIVOT--------------------------------------------------------
.
Ok, this section is the big reason for the title of this update. Remember how I said I would try to do those recordings and if not that, at least get all of the clips organized?
...well, because of a big research paper in my English class, I got literally NOTHING DONE. And I mean absolutely NOTHING. I spent the whole weekend doing stupid notecards!!! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRGH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
...anyway, i'm gonna try to do all that this week. I can't use my dad's microphone since it's hooked up to all of his music equipment, but the good news is that my friend found another microphone that he says was missing for like feaking ever. He's gonna lend me the old one for my recordings and doing them will get me almost 100% done with the project, ready for me to post on YouTube.
BLENDER---------------------------------------------
.
Well, as dire as the Pivot situation is right now, I have made a LOT of progress in this area. I already finished Part I of my book!!!!!!!!!!
I figured out that if you're reading a book like that or something similar, it helps big time if you have Blender open while you're reading it. You can put a lot of the things they tell you into good use; things that didn't make sense when you read it at first will make sense when you do it at the same time as you're reading. Like, I didn't understand how parent objects behaved very well until I got on Blender and actually messed around with it.
And like I said before, it often helps to go on Blender and just mess around a bit. In a program like Blender, you actually learn a lot that way. ;D
BLENDER TIP OF THE DAY:::::::::::::::::::::::
.
Stay tuned for the Blender Tip of the Day! I shall post it right here in this post ASAP! ;)
