| - Full time testing a shader written by a professional. Writting a shader is a combination of technical and artistic stuff. The one ever used it will wonder how great it helps in the production, and wonder why we can't do that ouselves. |

| - It was great attending the talk yesterday and the training full-day today by Ryan Kinglien of Pixologic. The materials are actually fundamental but that just hit for those haven't used zbrush before, like me.
He wrote a few lines and put it online. http://www.zbrush.info/site/index.php/Hong_Kong_Presentation It's the most direct way to learn: from the expert. - Brought a book to help those who take the LPI Linux certification exam. Maybe a good way to get the general knowledge of what need to know. - My first time to buy a hong kong comic, "Tin Ha". The visual is great, and even great if in 3d. The sea, the fire, the "air", the debris, and the multiple exposure effect. |
