Today I decided to purchase professorV.com in order to put up a bunch of my tutorial work and student examples, etc. Then I found out someone already bought it. I am so mad, really who would have thought that even professorV.com is already taken.

To make it worse, I don't even want anything similar because people will inevitably go to the other professorV.com and think its me. Here is a picture of him. We have nothing in common. His web site sucks. I just want to get mixed up so I am going to cut the idea. You can click on his image to check out his site and see why I feel this way.

It seems like the wirefusion thing is going to work out afterall. I am really quite excited about it. SOme of the models looked really professional. I will display them all here when it is done. In the mean time I decided on my VR project. A VR rendition of Wario Party.

I missed everything today. I had a run in with too much work and never was able to manage a ride to the actual facility. Anyways, I spent the day productively reading and teaching myself all there is to know about the new bodypaint interface in Cinema 4D and wirefusion. Wirefusion is great but in the end I realized that the VRML exporter in Cinema 4D just doesn't cut it. Like no PLA for one. Looks like I'm going to stick to maya or go ahead and write a plugin.
Even crazier still I actually met Mr. Jesse Forrest Fabian in Second Life. Unfortunately, I forget to take a snapshot of the moment. We built , we smoked, we laughed.
This site seems to be going the way I want it to I just need to have more time to add more features and promote it. Winter break will be here soon. I am actually thinking of turning this into my thesis project somehow. Its a tie between this and VR and VR is just to damn elitist for me.

Well after all that I just heard the startup chime and I think it was a postive outcome for the computer surgery.

While in the middle of updating the site and working on some wirefusion stuff for my class, my brother stopped by in need of a hard drive upgrade for his iBook 500 mHz. It came with a 10.0 GB drive but he needs more space for a movie he is working on. I decided to give him my old drive figuring it was a snap to replace. Well, it took about 4 hours so far and the drive looks like - well like this picture



So here we are with his computer completely taken apart.
