So yesterday was the last day of the 3D Studio Max I DMA course. We didn't get into anything new, the day was mostly just for wrapping up stuff we've been working on during the week. Jonathan, the instructor, mostly went around answering questions the kids had about their projects. For the entire day I just messed around with Max trying out new thinks like Reactor which will do physics with objects and solid object interactions. Jonathan showed me some really cool things with Reactor. After messing with that for a while I played around with depth of field. Toward the end of the day I had to leave class for about 45 mins to attend our weekly Team Leaders meeting at work, which was right upstairs. That was a rather disorienting experience, as I haven't had much sleep all week, I haven't been upstairs much all week, and now I'm in a meeting talking about topics that came up at work during the week which I haven't been around for. It was weird to say the least. After the meeting I went back to the class and messed with depth of field. At the end of the day we had all of our files burned to cd so we can keep them. Then all the kids' parents came by to pick up their kids and popped into the class to see what it was like. They asked a million questions to Jonathan about how to get their kid into the industry. So that was pretty much how the day ended. Afterward I went home and played Rallisport all night online with Minh. Next week is the Max II course, and my manager says I can attend some days, but I don't know which. Either way, I look forward to next week. The scary thing is we only have something like 2 weeks left of summer before school starts. Yikes.
