What a crazy week, finishing one assignment and starting the next, getting into the FXPHD groove which is also helping me get back into CineMan, Cinema 4D’s RenderMan connection. Why spend all this time getting back into RenderMan with all this other stuff going on you ask? It is because Pixar has asked us to present at their booth again this year, and despite having barely touched it in 8 months there is just no way one can turn down an opportunity like that. SO that means reviewing everything to make sure I’m up to snuff on it all again.

So that means SIGGRAPH is a week away, and a lot of preparation still left for me to do. I’m not doing any demonstrations myself at the Maxon booth, just the Pixar demo so I’ll be a little more free than typical trade shows which is nice. It’s extra nice as it also means we have some really kick ass artists demoing at the MAXON booth again, just like at NAB, and I have to say I really like this approach to getting more studios involved in the main theatre presentations instead of mostly feature demos.

And Just like NAB MAXON and Kai the Stuff Guy will both be trying to keep everyone a little more in the loop via twitter so make sure to follow both of us.

Anyways here is Stewie shoveling

Okay I’ve been pretty bad the last Month, I went to New York for Promax BDA and haven’t gotten back into the Blogging groove since. My apologies, I will get the last few weeks posts up late tonight most likely, and I’ll have some more interesting news as well this week so keep an eye out for that.

This class we have the choice for 3 separate assignments or an animjam where all three assignments link together to with a single theme, hopefully telling some sort of story. I’m already at the refining stage of part 1 in which Stewie is shoveling snow and a snowball is on due course.

Anyways I”m off on a little Adventure for the day, need to get out of the house and away form the computers and TV, Crunching at work for Siggrpah and other projects along with trying to really shift over into being a manager and not a peer for my staff, along with Animation Mentor and now FXPHD (more on that in a later post) and I’ve just been killing myself. Time for a little relaxation.

Anyways here is Stewie Enjoy.
