So, a lot of things have happened. The jist of it is as follows:
While I’m once again unsure of how college might go, my summer looks to be more free than normal. I didn’t get accepted into the SoC, but that doesn’t keep me from learning how to code for blender anyhow. I simply love that program too much, and it keeps deciding to compile from cvs on my mac. Who can say no to that? I mean, when something compiles frequently, you just have to suddenly start tweaking a little here and there with it.
Anyways, one fellow is going to be coding an update to the renderer. I want to see if I can help out, and also I’ll just sit back and wait for a better opportunity to do my brdf/SSS ray-tracing shader. I really need to get a life, but so help me, I still have no one around in the summer, so I pretty much do stuff like this or die of boredom.
So yeah. I’m currently messing around with blender here and there and actually am still working on that dragon animation project. Perhaps I’ll post more progress pictures here as they come up. This year still has a lot of kick left in it, but yeah… wow… currently the world has regarded me as a hopeless wreck (speaking of my GPA, people’s expressions at my visions of what I’ll do in the future, and generally how I’m trying to get into neuroscience). Wonderful. And you know what, I find myself starting to agree in a laughing, humoring manner. This provides me with the most awkward introspect on my career ever. That is, I believe it’s worse than what most other people who have had such trouble could have ever felt.
Oh well. I sure am having fun. At the cost of respect that really has been flaky to begin with.
