- Downloaded 10 different sound waves from Free Sound Project, not sure whether i'll be using any since i will be recording my own voice but perhaps in the background maybe.

- In class we learned how to use Sony Forge to edit sound. And in Premier we learned how to import sound.

30 Sec. Project progress:
- Done with the area of the eye. Working on the nose and mouth area at the moment.

Week 5




Tuesday - February 6th, 2007


- Images from Second life, found a very interesting world where they have loaning ATM machines. Very neat!


- In class, after Pat's overview of Premier I navigated around Premier. I recorded a 10 second clip from SL and imported it into Premier. I did a couple of cutting and editing then experimented with exporting using different compressions.

- For the remaining of the class period I continued working on my model. I'm still in the early stages of creating half of my face, still looking rough, it needs a little bit of more tweeking.

Week 4

Tuesday - January 30th, 2007
- I started off by setting the file for the 30 sec. animation. I took several pictures of my self from 3 different angles a top view, a side view and a front view. I edited the images in photoshop and then inserted the front and the side view images into the 3d studio document and started tracing over it to create my head. I'm using the Angelina Jolie spline modeling tutorial as my guide in creating the first part of my 30 sec. animation.

- Following the instructions in the tutorial seemed easy, but when i started applying the steps i found some difficulties with the tools used. I'm still in the process of outlining the face and connecting the splines to create the mesh of the face.

- I was absent. Down with a flu :( ..

- While doing some research online I came across this in yahoo video it is a tutorial introducing the basic principles of 3d max studio, i thought it might be useful:
