"Purpose dictates Process"

Marcus always tell us this.

And he's right. He's articulate what I've always thought about any type of work in a very simple way. "Purpose dictates Process." If you can't get something to work, make sure you're making it for what it's going to be used for.

I finished my CDC project, which is building a character model from scratch. Final results:

I'm pretty pleased.  I didn't add nipples or a belly button (since they weren't required, per se), but I did add decent feet, which aren't required either.

We also had to UV it, and I daresay I finally understand how to make UVs. FINALLY. Sheesh.

We also had to do a clothing design with details - drawn or sculpted or what have you, but not modeled - but I... did not like what I did. It's embarrassingly bad and I think I need to start drawing again because I'm starting to forget.

After the cut are wireframe details. And rambling. But you can stop reading when the pictures stop.

In case anyone was wondering what the instructor teaches us during lecture

This one is funny because of what a mockery it makes of a so-called animation class in the noted university. The dude makes the best of it.

But honestly?

Honestly?

This one is the kicker. 

I will give you $15 if you don't laugh.

'Bout that time again.

I was going to make a post for New Years'... but then that didn't happen. I spent New Years with The Old Republic and a few good friends and my buddy The Bottle. It was pretty good. SO, a belated Happy New Years' to everyone. 2011 was said to be a pretty crappy year for a lot of my friends, so hopefully 2012 will treat y'all better. From the sounds of it, things are turning out well so far. We shall see.

Anywho.

The first part of this is about my character modeling class. The second part, marked by large red text below, will be a quickie review of SWTOR. Skip to whatever you want to read about.
