here's the one... the only... ham, the monkey! isn't he just cute? he's my, well, uh, *first* attempt at modeling. it's not really my first, but it is the first attempt that i'm actually very pleased with. my previous attempts were quite unsightly and unmanagable! i still have a ton to learn! ham's nose looks like it's dented in, his seams aren't defined correctly, his butt needs some shaping, he's missing ears and paws, and i feel that his eyebrows are too hacked. aside from all that, though, he's been a wonderful subject for me. i've also come a long way from my very first stabs at it... let's just say ham looked like a wiener dog wearing a construction worker's hat!by the way, i'm doing all my work in blender (v. 242). wahoo! blender!
separate thread of news, although it's better than a week old, i've shaved my head! all my hair is now gone. it's a nice change indeed.
and yet again, another unrelated bit of info: i'm spec'ing out parts for an upgrade. right now, i've got a p4 1.4, 768mb ram, 250gb hdd, ati rage 3d pro, ati mach64, two used 17" crts (one's got a huge scratch and the other has a win98 taskbar burned into it), and used cdrom and dvd drives. for the most part, it does exactly what i want it to do. unfortunately, it does it 100x slower than i'd like! in particular, the graphics are in need for some speed! so, i
have been eyeing a 19"wide lcd on tigerdirect... i'll grab me two of them and plug 'em into a geforce 6200. so for about $400, i'll have a decent machine to finally get some work done and still remain sane :)
cora is awake, again. we've found out that she gets really gassy when cindy eats lettuce. well, we forgot all about that today and had blts. whoops! so, she's awake and gassy.
that's all for now! g'night!
