When he started scaling a duplicate of the cupboard down into a drawer instead of starting from scratch something in my head exploded.

[Manalive Smith]

Thanks Franklin. I just spent forty six minutes watching an Australian (at least he sounds Australian) model a virtual kitchen. Time well spent.

[Manalive Smith]

I hereby conclude that everyone else is asleep. Goodnight y’all.

[Manalive Smith]

Modeling something that doesn’t involve extruding a geometric shape, not so great at. Do you have any tips like tutorials and things?

[Manalive Smith]

Franklin, I just remembered that I also managed to model a wine glass once, and I was very proud.

[Manalive Smith]

I like piano-ing.

Goodnight Kristen.

[Manalive Smith]

And then wondering if maybe everyone is already in bed.

[Manalive Smith]

*waiting awkwardly after showing other people your work*

[Manalive Smith]

I should also point out that I meant to say sculptor earlier not sculpture.

[Manalive Smith]

The sync’s off in places, I was putting the finishing touches on minutes before I had to leave for class. But I’m still pretty proud of how it turned out. All 2D files used, no meshes involved, because as previously stated I have no idea how to properly build a mesh.

[Manalive Smith]

Here’s the video. You can’t see my face too clearly, and my hair is completely different. I did have to take a moment to ensure that my actual name wasn’t posted on there though.

[Manalive Smith]

Not really, unfortunately. I’m not much of a sculpture and the tools for building meshes aren’t the most intuitive. I have a student copy of Maya I need to take a look at.

[Manalive Smith]

Alrighty. We’ll have to find some other reason to assassinate people.

[Manalive Smith]

I started up and dropped it a year or two ago. I’d really love to get a job someday working in computer science/ visual arts.

[Manalive Smith]

Wait, your mom is Scottish! Does she have an accent or was she just born there?

[Manalive Smith]

The furthest I’ve gotten in Blender is building a gingerbread man, but I find it fascinating as a piece of technology. What would you say is the coolest thing you’ve ever done with Blender?

[Manalive Smith]

Decent point. Also Scotland would need to become a monarchy again.
Would you be satisfied with Princess of Scotland?

[Manalive Smith]

I assume you’re familiar with Blender.

[Manalive Smith]

Or not I suppose.

[Manalive Smith]

My computer is not quite up to tracking snuff, plus I’d have to go back into all the original files.

[Manalive Smith]

I just googled obscure opensource software and it was the first thing to come up.

[Manalive Smith]

Have you ever heard of FinderCleaner?

[Manalive Smith]

Let’s change that Franklin,

Visual effects are so immensely cool. I made a video involving trees for an After Effects class once. I’d post it here, but it includes my face.

[Manalive Smith]

I suppose you are practically royalty in Scotland.

[Manalive Smith]

I also need a girl for the knighting as long as Elizabeth II is alive.

[Manalive Smith]

If it’s a boy Sir Octothorpe Smith and if it’s a girl Dame Octothorpe Smith. Let’s give this hypothetical child a knighthood.

[Manalive Smith]

Oh, dear. If I have a child going into politics, I may have failed as a parent.

[Manalive Smith]

Correction duly noted.

[Manalive Smith]

I love that I can insert a comment about snot freezing in the middle of a paragraph and still be called science-y

[Manalive Smith]

You could always name a child Octothorpe, if you wanted to be particularly cruel.
