You See, Only What I Want You To See.

K.Rowe here once again,
I did a bit of searching and it turns out I have an Americas Army Account dating back to 2004....its actually my second. The other one got suspended after I hacked the notepad file they use to track your off line stats with to unlock the super sniper thingy; ok more like just edited than hacked....I was young and I needed that sniper rifle. Regardless this one has the basic training already completed so, thats another chunk of H/W done. Right now all I have to do is download the EXE. Install it and I will be good to go. As I type it's in my B.T qeue and probably pushing me closer to the edge of comcast's bandwidth allotment tolerance.

On The Road Again...

Greetings guys,
K.Rowe here with a bit of an update. After about a week or two of trolling I am finally back up to speed with my projects. Speaking of which, Gallo if your reading this I got your voice mail. Kudos go out to both Aaron and Dr.Nick; I finally started my modeling in Maya and I'm absolutely loving it. Granted..I'm not the most creative person in the world, but I am having allot of fun. It felt really cool to be making something with software this ~complicated~. Bet your last hay penny that I will be bragging to my friends for a long time. The videos on Dr.Nick's site really helped, and I had to employ a dual monitor display in order to work and listen at the same time. But it worked out really well. Hopefully I can have all my work done by Wednesday moving at the rate I currently am, even before. Thanks allot for the extension Prof, it wont be given in vain. P.S I managed to register for the conference on the 17th I believe it was. So if nothing comes up I will be down there. I will try to get pictures and S.W.A.G to share online and with the class.

Glossary
Kudos- cool points.
S.W.A.G- Stuff we all get ~in reference to free stuff you usually get at trade shows and the like.

Issues

It seems that when it rains, it pours. Recently I've been having some issues with my current job that are really circumventing my academic progress. It's almost finals and I really don't have the energy to split in two. I took a little vacation but I have no idea if at this point in time it's going to be enough. There's only two or so weeks left for school.

Get Your Face In The Game

So far so good,

Here is a brief screen shot. So far the portrait creation went well, I will share my results with Greg.
P.S I have no idea why his pic is in black and white. I will redo his portrait in photo-shop.

Portraits

Evening,

Thanks to Greg G we managed to find out how to access character portraits in unreal. Right now I'm simply going to use photo-shop to resize the images and do a test conversion. If this works when ever we talk in unreal, our actually photos should show up. Sweet eh?

Flu&Cold Season

Morning,

It's now 8:42 am on Sunday March 25th. Day four in the battle of me vs the flu. The sneaky little bugger played dead on Saturday so I went to work for a closing shift. Only to wake up today completely sacked. This week was a complete bust as far as getting anything accomplished due, there's homework pilled up every where and its going to take some doing to get everything accomplished. This week how ever I'm going to be going through Maya and the class project with a few people in the group. With all of us on board the good ship sink should be able to lumber its way onwards.

In project related news. I managed to get Maya up and running in a dual core environment, for some reason it liked to crash after a few minutes of use. Now thats out of the way and I'm also pleased to announce that duplication and rotation has saved the day once more in Unreal Ed. Later today I will be able to speak to Prof' Walsh to see how far behind I am.
Until next time take care.

Evening, or rather morning all.
Kamal here with some sad news. After many many months of faith full service, im putting windows down. No no silly im not going to Linux ~take that open source!~ Im going to restore my PC to an O.E.M state. Pain in the butt I know but it's been acting really funny since the OC and the reg tweaks. Every few months I say the same thing, "let me restore it and never mess with the non-essential settings again." How ever with Media center and the abundant extra .dills and reg files make it almost impossible to not iff something up. Xp pro, or 64 bit would of been a much better choice but the 140 has already been paid. No worries how ever Im fully backed up and ready to go, this blackout should last 3-6 hours tops. How ever, if you don't see a post by then call the cops! No No..I Kid, wait another 3-6 hours...then call the cops. Time to take this partition out back and cut er lose. Better bring Dick Chaney along in case I don't have what it takes. Until later, take it easy.
