Week 5 thesis

A little late on this post since I'm almost going to put up updates on this weeks post but here's what I got done last week.  I did some rough block-outs for the mechanical parts as well as watched a bunch of tutorials on designs and workflows for mechs with my gnomon subscription and digital tutors subscription from school.  I'm still doing a ton of tweaks to my motorcycle that I started last month but here's an image I forgot to upload back then, the background didn't really get too much time since time has been sparse.  The insect I've been designing has been going pretty well also.  Starting with a simple blockout using dynamesh to experiment with the forms and silhouette then to a more detailed sculpt, and I'll upload the polypainted version with a high detail pass soon.  Lastly for my real time design class, I've been working on a low poly game character and been watching videos on UDK.  

It's been a busy and rough week here's a bunch of problems I had to deal with... had to buy a new tablet since the one I've been using kicked the bucket. My ssd was running out of room for some reason and as a zbrush user that'll cause a ton of problems since it runs off ram but I eventually found the problem using a software that showed files that took up the most room.  Apparently windows 7 likes to hide away 50gbs of memory saved up for hibernation mode and for when you use up all your ram so that programs don't crash.  Luckily I run 32gbs of ram so deleting those files won't cause any problems for me.  Lastly the internet at my off campus house is awful even though my 4 house mates and I pay $100 a month for 50mb/sec; I highly recommend never getting time warner cable.  It doesn't look like next week's gonna be easy either; at work I have to meet with 4 people to train them to work in the 3D design lab.
