Too much math, too little time!

Sat Jun 13, 2009, 8:20 AM
Hey Y'all (always wanted to say that :P)

For (and if there are any) the people that miss me at school, sorry guys, i have more important stuff to look after, namely, myself and a better way of expanding my skill set and experience.

I kinda feel like an a-hole to say this though, i put loads and loads of effort in my school work (like the website, 3d prehistoric landscape and game report.) Only to skip school and not being able to show my work to the teachers... I might upload my website soon, it features some nice animations and a nice gallery of what i did so far.

And now for the reason of my absence, i'm following a advanced math course so i'll be allowed at college, (HvA in Amsterdam). Its a known fact that i suck monkeyb%lls at math, so every day for the past week i spent 14 hours a day working on that. Wich kinda leaves me without time for anything else, like working out at the gym, delivering my homework at school (kinda weird, skipping school in order to learn) or making new assets for our upcoming game. (Wich is coming along better then expected, and we go to great lengths to keep raising the bar.)

Other then torturing my grey matter with 2^p/sqrt(96)*7q^4 and so on im doing fine so i can't complain i guess. Im in good health (My arm is almost healed and the screw in it doesn't hurt as much as it used to) and im getting more athletic, eventually i want to be in the shape or in better shape then i was when i was still in the Royal Netherlandic Army. I was one of the fastest guys around back then, but was pretty thin, right before i broke my arm i was in good shape, gained around 10 Kg's, since then i gained 10 more, but not in a favorable way haha (i wasn't exactly chubby, but not top-fit either) wich was kind of an issue to me since i was always able to push myself to new heights so to speak (i was once asked to join the commando's and once to join the Marines, i declined because i wanted t have a family and be there for them later on, i still back that up and think the same, but it does kinda explain the shape i was in back then.)

So after about 3 weeks ill start working out again, preferably with a partner (now i do body pump 2 to 3 times a week, mostly 2 times). And then things will take of seriously i hope :).

Other then that things are going at an easy pace, im still looking for a job and trying to expand and evolve my skillset. Meaning more HDRI images, Models and textures, and if i pass my math course and pass my Netherlandic exam even some scripting and shading i guess. I'm still determined to be a game developer, and a good one at it. (well, getting from pretty ok to good is a long long way, but then again, its a long term goal. its neat to see some of my assets in games. Its too bad that some people Hijack it for their own mods and projects or second life, but at least that says something about the quality i guess.)

Well, anyway, your eyes must hurt by now after this pile of words haha.

Hey Kay klein vraagje, welke programma's gebruik jij om je textures te maken?

:iconfunkdude:
Hetzelfde programma waar ik ze mee maak. Deviant art "thumbnailt" ze zelf, maar ik render op verschillende resoluties.

Kay, ik bedoel dus, welk programma gebruik je. Hoe "heet" het x3.

Hey, Ik ben vorige week donderdag begonnen met HBO Gamedevelopment. Maandag beginnen de lessen. Ik heb nog niet echt een mening kunnen vormen maar ik denk dat ik er een interessante en leerzame tijd zal hebben. En met jou? Grtz

All Hail Plankton!
:icongreatshoyru:
Zelfde planning, maandag ook pas echt eerste lessen. Het word denk ik meer van hetzelfde, en we missen een leraar actionscripting... Chaos zoals altijd.
