Hey hey, how are you finding things after finishing at Abertay?

Hey dude. Going pretty well I reckon. Managed to find a job at Denki now, so I'm working there full time for a bit into next year. Contract basis.
How are you getting on?

Oh awesome, well done dude!
Yeah not too shabby, just making my way through coursework right now really. 3rd year's much different from anything else i've done at uni, but its really enjoyable.
How are you finding it at denki? What kind of stuff have you been doing?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Learning 3DS Max mostly - some animation stuff in it. Just trying to give and receive knowledge with the other artists. Denki is a nice environment, and a good place to start my career in I reckon.
Any challenges you've faced in 3rd year?

Ah, I'm probably going to have to learn to use max sooner or later. From what I've heard exporting animation into game engines is a lot easier through max than maya... we had a lot of problems with animations from maya > XNA during next level dundee. It must be great working in a games studio. Can't wait to see some of your stuff!
Ah jeez, skinning in maya for the first time was a bit of a pain, I think I've got the hang of it now however. For some reason, my mesh kept folding in on itself whilst painting weights, though I've managed to overcome it now. At the time, trying to fix it was a bit like pulling teeth.
Apart from that, just trying to create decent quality textures. I could use a bit of reading material. I don't suppose you know of any decent books that might come in handy?

Explorting from Maya can be tricky - once the system and pipeline is nailed it's just a case of being temperamental.
I've not done much exporting from Max yet tbh. Not sure what I can show you from work, few things out of work might pop up though.
If you the paint the influence out of a vertice it might default to a bone/joint you weren't expecting. Can sometimes happen.
For texturing? Not sure off hand. Avertay library is bound to have some stuff near the front windows on the 3rd floor. If they haven't rejigged the place.

Hey ho, I do indeed my friend. And Bloody hell, you've got a brilliant gallery buddy, very impressive! I'm guessing you're doing Computer Arts also?

Thanks dude. Yeah, I'm in 4th year currently doing the rounds of the honours year. How're you finding the course?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Awesome man, yeah I'm really enjoying it, Maya can be a bit of a pain sometimes, but it will come with practice I guess. Are you enjoying your 4th year?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yeah it's pretty cool so ar. It's given me the chance to develop a story I've been writing into an animation - and so far my grades have been pretty good. This semester is really going to be the test of things - it's going to take a lot of work.
Are you part of a sketchgroup or anything?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Good to hear man. Yeah, I can imagine there's a lot of work to get done, but it'll all be worth it in the end!
I'm currently not a member of a sketchgroup, though I should probably get my finger out and join one.

If you'd like, I'll be holding one of sorts in whitespace on tuesdays from 5pm til 7pm-ish. Maybe in the comfy chair area, but perhaps in the studio space in the corner of whitespace which used to be the animation lab. You're welcome to come along, it's great banter.

Yeah man sounds cool, I'll come along tomorrow. See ya there
