I got a 100 (pending final grades) in the course, so naturally, if you have common sense and can follow instructions, you'll do fine in the course. A few useful things I picked up from the class were the presentation building website Prezi. Prezi is awesome and allows you to do 3D animated presentations; imagine Powerpoint but with 3D animation and really smooth zooming transitions. The other was Diigo; this is useful for bookmarking, highlighting, commenting, noting, and marking up websites that you go to. Diigo is very useful for any kind of information gathering, list building, or research. Overall, like my last entry said, the class was rather mundane, but overall it was useful information that I won't soon forget. I think part of the reason I would say I didn't particularly care for the course was that there was a bunch of - for lack of a better term - idiots in my class that truly have no business attending Full Sail at all. I know however, that the further along I get into my program, the fewer people like that I'll come across. It seems like people 'have the dream' of making it big in whatever industry, yet they lack the common sense or the desire to being a sensical human being to even attempt completing a meaniful education. Anyways, stay tuned, I'll have my custom website up soon where I'll have my portfolio, tutorials, information about me, work from school and more. It will be at www.democaliber.com; I just have to purchase my hosting and build the site...but it shouldn't take me too long once I have the hosting purchased. Cheers!

Here are links to the resources I mentioned.

I'd love to get feedback on it and see what others created with this course.

Really want work professionally with graphic, for web-design, and with 3D animation. But first of all, illustrations and web-design. Also, bought software only for 3D is very expensive for me. Adobe Photoshop CS6 Extended, allows to work with 3D. But how well. And I need to see how can be used CryENGINE 3, for my purposes, perhaps it is able to replace all the missing software. ]]> Alexey http://www.digitaltutors.com/forum/blog.php?b=229 In the Middle of Month 1 at Full Sail http://www.digitaltutors.com/forum/blog.php?b=228 Wed, 24 Apr 2013 21:06:05 GMT So far so good, first class is a little boring.

I have taken what I learned from tutorials from the very start and tried putting them into use while making this model. I did come across quite a few problems and thought I had bitten off more than I could chew but I kept on going through it and slowly started being able to sort out the problems.

However in the end I think it came out quite alright, there is obviously always improvements to be made but any feedback would be much appreciated in helping me improve.

Hi I am struggling on finding a solution to this problem that has occurred recently. Basically when I try and put a texture onto my model it goes all blurry? and in the UV editor the surrounding area is black with the texture blurred on the UV layout?

Also On the icon of what the texture would be like on the spherical shape in the attribute editor the texture is in circles?

I hope someone knows how to fix this thanks. ]]> ross185 http://www.digitaltutors.com/forum/blog.php?b=224 fibermesh to curves http://www.digitaltutors.com/forum/blog.php?b=223 Sat, 23 Mar 2013 08:53:00 GMT hey everyone!

i was hoping someone could help me out with this. i am using osx and i am tring to move the fibermesh hair i created in zbrush into maya to render. i have used the fibermesh to curve option in zbrush but when opening the created .mb files in maya i get the error "unrecognized file type". when i create an .obj file in zbrush and export into maya it loads the file but there scene is empty. Is there any way around this?

i have also tried using a python script in maya that i found on the net for fibermesh to curves but i do not think i am loading the script correctly. if anyone could help me with this i would really appreciate it!

thank you,
