Wooohoooo!!!

Adobe will be paying for a round trip ticket and the hotel for all finalists to spend 5 nights in Beijing to attend the award ceremony, and the Icograda Conference! This is remarkably unbelievable…  This all goes thanks to my teammates for both projects, whom I will be representing in Beijing, to see the final results of the competition!

Another simple 3D test I did with Mograph. I quickly modeled a rose, and placed lights over each point of the polygons. With this many lights, yes the render took about +20 hrs lol. I ended up patching 3 renders of the rose to give some contrasting in the brightness of the rose. Now that this gave a great result, I wonder if I can do some animations with it..

I was given a sewing machine for my graduation gift…. so decided to make something!! Went shopping for some fabric last weekend, and made couple of variations of coin purses for my friends’ birthdays. I found some sea shells I had brought home from a trip when I was like 5 years old… so made some sea shell key chains with that. Oh good times.

Spent sometime playing around with Cinema 4D today. I never knew Cinema had fracture tools in their Mograph that simply lets you break things apart! This was my result after being over excited about this new finding.

My family recently adopted a new family member! His name is Chai (from Chai Tea, cause of his fur color)  a toy poodle :3 My mom decided to give him a teddy-bear cut which made him look nothing other than a teddy bear… guh, I can’t stop hugging him!

This poster represents RIT’s College of Imaging Arts & Sciences (CIAS) and its 7 schools of Art, Design, Print Media, Film & Animation, Photographic Arts & Sciences, School of American Crafts, and Foundations. This poster will hopefully be used starting this year – can’t wait to see it printed!
