3D modelling & Animation and PDP

So my project for this semester required me to create a number of things and four scenes, a character walking scene, I introduced you to "George" in my first post.
he second is a flight scene, to the left is the model i created for it, im not happy with it at all, however, im running out of time and its about the animation not so much the modelling this term!
Then I have to create a bouncing ball, showing effective stretch and squash effects.
Last, but not least, I then have to combine these and make a short scene with them all in, I still dont know how I want to do this and I've got like 2 weeks.
My time management for this project really is not at its best.



I also have an exam at 9.30am tomorrow, and no,
i am not prepared in the slightest. In my opinion it is a waste of time.
Personal and Professional Development - currently sat here memorising data protection acts etc.
i swear i want to murder someone.

Soon as i'm done though i'm applying for a placement at Sony! It got announced today, I would really love a placement there, its also local which is a plus.

Just bought these for summer

It was an impulse buy, but I've been meaning to buy a new pair, and i think they're rather cute :)




First Post - about me/introductions

Well, first post.
Why have I suddenly decided to create a blogspot?
Boredom? Distraction from revision? Change from Tumblr maybe.
Somewhere I can keep a collective of the things I enjoy, create, like and admire maybe.
I'm over tumblr, too generic, everyone blogs the same things because thats all anyone is posting!

Anyway.
I'm Alix, im twenty, I really don't feel it though, my theory is because i still live at home, i have made the next step yet. I really do still feel, and probably act like a child (not in the silly childish way you are probably thinking) I'm far from immature in that sense, i mean i'm not very worldly? We'll leave that one there, until i have the right words to express what I mean.

I'm in my second year of Uni, I study Computer Animation & Visualisation,


so you should be seeing a lot of my work on here, and relentless links to my portfolio, say hello to George.



What does this course entail?
3D modelling & Animating - we use Autodesk 3Dsmax
Flash animation for a multimedia module
A lot of programming considering, c# and SQL etc, we have a database module and a programming one too! I suppose though, im not too limited in what I can do when I leave.

Currently searching high and low for a suitable placement for my placement year, which so happens to be be next year, i have about 3 months to find one, i've been applying to companies since September - those old folk weren't lying when they said its hard to find a job these days!

I think thats all for now really, you dont need to know about my social life, and im sure you will get the jist of my interests over the next few posts.
In a nutshell? oh, alright then.

- Music related posts
- Fashion, usually things I want to buy/have bought
- Make up i'll never wear but buy
- Harry Potter, I have, an unhealthy obsession.
- My dogs, I have three, one is a puppy, all i do is take pictures of them!
- 3D models other people have made, i get jealous.
- Films etc

Nothing special of course, the same as every other blog probably!
