This course will look at the fundamentals of modeling in Maya with an emphasis on creating good topology. We'll look at what makes a good model in Maya and why objects are modeled in the way they are.

it's SO DAMN AMAZING!!
I can't get over how brilliant the film is!
it's so creepy but just presented sooooo beautifully!
i feel as if something in my life has become more complete

I made an effort to get through the Pirates of the Caribbean boxset last weekend. Was actually slightly disappointed on the whole. Though I liked the story of the first, which was probably overall the one I enjoyed most, the stand out part of all three was the sequence in the last one where you first see Johnny Depp on that Island....when it seems like a dream sequence at first, and all the crabs come up and take the ship away...from that point on there was some quite impressive parts....like when they work out that they need to roll the ship upside down and the battle scene in the giant whirlpool.

Ahh yeah True Grit was a brilliant film, even for a remake. Jeff Bridges as Cogburn was great. Also saw Astroboy which was good, and also RED, which was brilliant, I didnt expect half the stuff in it, and John Malkovich was just awsome an absolute nutcase, and you gotta love his pig- funny movie I recommend it.

I dare say that the remake of True Grit was better than the original movie and I liked the little interactions between Matt Damon and Jeff Bridges

Just finished watching Rango. Nice movie.

At university, we have a Netflix subscription, so we're slowly going through it user added image The last one we watched there was "Repo: A Genetic Opera." This movie completely defies description. At the end, you wonder what you just watched. I still have no idea user added image


Imagination is more important than knowledge.

Megamind and I have watched it like 5 times in the last 3 days.

I don't know why but it cheers me up and every time I watch it I see a dozen new things in the background.

I like the idea of the underdog who's real super power is that he just won't give up.

The music was good too. I like the villian always making these big theatrical entrances.

I would have given the Oscar to the Minion's over melodramatic fake death scene - It's getting warm and cold and light and dark, ack, cough, ack, ack, death roll.

and I want a "forget me stick".

Last movie I watched was Red Dog....good Aussie film and a true story. Shows what it was like in the 70's in the same places I work...we are more civilised but the men are the same LOL. All the places you see in the film I have either worked at or been to in Dampier.
