    It would be pretty inhumane.

    Next time, shoot it in the head instead, to give it a quick and painless death.

    Then run it over.
    Bonus points if you can do all of this without getting out of the car or slowing down.

    When I was four I thought that when you got arrested the police would carry you away on a stretcher.

    When I was young I was afraid of the police, because I thought they may catch me doing something bad, when I wasn't even aware I was doing anything wrong.

    I think I still have this lingering "oh noes" when I'm around police, from that. Like, "You're wearing white after labor day!? GET ON THE GROUND!!" *pistolwhip'd*

    Well...I can model, texture, and light things in Maya...I'm not exactly sure how else to quantify my progress, but, ya know, I've still got a lot to learn, but I'd feel comfortable saying that I've at least got the basics down. I'll be taking a ZBrush class in the fall, and it's going to involve bringing in models from Maya (that we've made, of course) and detailing them, and making normal maps and such. I doubt we'll get into ZSpheres much, if at all. I understand how normal/bump/displacement/specular maps work, but I didn't have time to implement any in my Maya class (they weren't required either, but I would've liked to do that somewhat). I had time to mess around with ZSpheres for a little while when I got a ZBrush trial awhile back - they seemed pretty simple.

    I'll be buying Maya and ZBrush this [academic] year, so I can work on more involved projects than what I've had time to get into during school. I'm also buying them so that I can still be up-to-date in the software that will be listed on my resume. :P I can't really say I have a year's worth of experience in the program (when I graduate) if I worked in it for 3 months, a year ago. I'd also like to work on something I'm happy enough with that I can include it in my portfolio.

    Crazy, I haven't even touched Zbrush yet and I haven't done any sort of extra mapping beyond the basic diffuse map.

    The competition is fierce!

    I drive significantly worse when police or highway patrol are around because I get nervous and start staring at my speedometer and checking every stupid thing to make sure I am not breaking any laws instead of paying attention to driving.

    This is what I said I would find: http://kurtsh.spaces.live.com/blog/cns!DA410C7F7E038D!2959.entry

    The audio it compresses from your mic is, well, not compressed, so it takes up a lot of space. You might be able to throw it through virtualdub after and compress the audio track into mp3, but I'm not sure how wmv works and it you can put it through virtualdub at all.

    Oh man..this thing actually compresses really well. After testing it appears to be about 1meg/minute (with audio) which is excellent....like 10% of the other pieces of software I was trying..and the video quality is higher as well. But maybe I am missing something and it is recording the audio somewhere else. I don't think so though.

    right...so for something to be "so black it absorbs light" seems kinda...off?

    Also! Doesn't everything absorb light, essentially? White reflects the full spectrum, more or less...but things that are colored (like a red shirt, for instance) absorbs most of the light, save from red.......right? I think that's correct.

    I'm being an ass though. Wooooo
