Animation Complete, and Yes It Was Awesome

Posted by Enric Darkstone on August 20, 2008

Wow, busy past two days.  As I said in the previous post I was working on an animation for a friend of a friend of mine.  It actually turned out pretty well.  After I gave the animation to him, his exact quote was “OMG.  DUDE. this is awesome” so I’d say he’s happy with it ^_^  I don’t know exactly what it is for, other than I made a digging animation (as in what on does with a shovel), and it might be awhile before it’s actually gonna be used.  I dunno if I can say who I made it for or any other details other than the above, so good luck to the guy I made it for.  PERSON.  Person I made it for…yes…that’s it….persian sand tigers…

Also in the news is WAR’s NDA has now been dropped, and since I signed up my pre-order info apparantly with 49,999 others I’ve been lucky enough to get in on a Warhammer Online preview weekend.  It’s an invite only sort of thing, I feel special.  But this is a double whammy.  See, my cd-rom and or hard drive are being pissy, so I can’t use my cd/dvd drive or my pc locks, then keeps giving me boot errors when I attempt to turn it back on, so I needed a way to get the game info on my pc.  Luckily enough, since I’m part of this preview weekend (this Friday to Monday) I actually downloaded the client.  Furthermore since I pre-ordered I’m guaranteed a spot on the live game headstart.  Basically I can play the game before it’s out…meaning since it didn’t ship yet I’d *have* to use the download client, so the odds of me actually needed to install with a disk are slim.  AND I’ll get to play WAR this weekend, and since the NDA is down I can say that.  Woot!

When I uploaded the shoveling animation into SL today I was told by another friend that I might have more work with someone else, which is obviously a bonus.  Three cheers for gainful employment!

Tomorrow I should write.  Should.  Hopefully I WILL but, this remains to be seen.

I’m feeling animated today.

My puns tickle my sense of humor like a man made of feathers on an island made of noses.  (It’s supposed to be a punny, not funny.  “Punny” being just a few shades above “Cheesy” and just a few shades below “Chuckle-Worthy”) Just a minor post, got an offer to animate something today.  I’ll update this later as I get closer to finishing it.  Now begins the glorious struggle with the animation program to make it do what I want, as it digs in and vehemently tries to stop me from getting anything done.  Joy.
