maya

my birthday vacation seems to have inadvertently become a summer stay, either that or I’ve reached a slump. slowly, but surely i am finding fresh motive to continue. there was a bit of a temporary detour in attempt to get better internet infrastructure in my home, but in the end my efforts have proven fruitless.

finished up the high resolution model sculpting and vertex colouring in zBrush, got the model decimated and have started laying out the final topology in topogun had some strange issues merging subtools in z… ended up reloading a save to find a piece disappearing and reappearing, sort of flickering as the camera would rotate.

ended up swapping to Maya halfway through retopologizing this model. sections started to get really close together, even having tried to eliminate such areas in the modeling stage i feel as though i have discovered this before, but the new Maya modeling toolkit is actually better than using TopoGun.

life is so difficult to navigate lately… this is coming from someone who doesn’t go anywhere or do anything except live his pursuit i am either on the cusp of something brilliant, some huge revelation or new threshold of understanding; or at the edge of some immeasurable disaster, a great unravelling of everything i have known or built and perhaps disillusion of everything that may ever come to be it is tough to say, maybe I don’t wanna label it, or speak the thought into existence progress is coming along well on the seventh spaceship.

still need to get the count down a bit and lay out the UVs in Maya, then texture and a tiny bit of rigging

almost finished the final low resolution model within the year, tired of clicking. gonna look back and see what i was working on a year ago, exactly. hopefully doesn’t make me too sad, hahah
