To Siggraph we go!

I found out recently that I got accepted to be a student volunteer at Siggraph this year. I did the same last year, and it was probably one of the most amazing experiences of that summer. This year it's being held in New Orleans, which is just a day's drive from Austin. I'm very excited.

done and DONE (or almost done)

Good things happening last week. Senior thesisisisis were turned in on Wednesday. Hooray! It feels so good to be done! I'm very pleased with how it turned out. All I can see anymore, though, are all my mistakes. Ack! But I'm gonna go through and fix up some of them by next week when we turn in all our files to our professor. Just a few small animation tweaks for now. I love the way the renders turned out. It's so flat and painterly looking. If time and inspiration are in my future, I'd like to redo the cat's texture and make that more painterly. But I love how the plants and the yarn balls and the bookshelves turned out.
I won't be putting up the complete animation online for a while, but stills are below.

Screening day is this coming Thursday at 6. I'm very excited to see everyone else's finished projects.
