End of School
School is over for us now. Jamie's final review is finished and she passed while I did an informal review and will submit my finished thesis in December. I don't think it was a problem of time management, I realized one semester into my thesis that I had to rethink it because my original idea walked too fine of a line between realism and cartoon, horror and comedy. It was like a computer version of 'Shawn of the Dead' - great movie, but a lot of people didn't know what to make of it. So, I changed it and took on something that was just as complex but easier for anyone to look at and understand.
As far as my Penn Station thesis goes, I've gone back over the station model and stripped out almost 2,000 tris just from noticing small areas that slipped past me when I first began putting it together. My skills have improved it seems. Next up is creating the passenger cars for the train on the tracks and once those are done I just need some luggage, benches and some trash as well.
Other news is that we will soon be leaving sunny California and moving to Texas. While the weather out here is generally nice and all moving to Texas will put us closer to our families, friends, and back into areas that we both grew up in so for the rest of the month we will be packing up and deciding what is going with us and what gets to be donated to Goodwill.
