Research Boards

So I chose December, January and Arpil as my months for the research board..

December


What's not to like about December, it's Christmas time! Everybody love's the Christmas holidays.. spending time with your family, eating delicious food, laying on the sofa and watching NFL, going to Christmas party's to meet your relatives and just enjoying the whole experience of Christmas. In Iceland the whole mood changes.. the capital transfers completly, all the mall's are full of people in a hurry, downtown is full of people enjoying the Christmas spirit and having hot coco and the atmosphere of it all is pleasant.
And it's not proper Christmas without some big Christmas snow, I think everbody in Iceland love's it when it snow's on Christmas day!


January

Wow January in Iceland start's with a bang! Everybody buy's fireworks in Iceland to blow up at new year's eve, it's even become a tourist attraction, the whole capital light's up with fireworks and new year party's everywhere go looooong into the night so for many people the start the new year with a hangover :)
But every new year you get that feeling, that fresh beginning feeling.. what will you experience this year?
In January the school is also beginning again, my birthday is in January and you get somewhat of a feeling the worst part of winter is over and you start to look forward for the summer time, atleast me!


April

Summertime! In April your summer mood is in it's prime, you are finishing school, you are planning what you want to do this summer, you are looking forward for all the football, camping trips, festivals, sunshine and beerdrinking with your friends and all of that that follows the summer! What more can you say, it's a wonderful month! Everybody's outside, enjoying life and laughing, having a good time and BBQ's in the evening with friends and family! It's awesome.


Mood boards, soon to come :)

Second week

My first session in 3D modeling was in week two. Our class is at 9 o'clock on Monday's for three hours which in my opinion is not enough so I think I'm gonna be spending a fair amount of time at home doing tutorials and getting to know the 3D studio max program better.
I've got a good feeling about this module, never studied 3D before but way back I did play around a litle with the 3DMax program but since then the program has changed alooot.
I´ve studied on Auto Cad which is also a product of Autodesk back in Iceland in Technical Drawing but that was also a few years ago.

So.. class last monday was fun, did some interesting stuff with in 3DMax, made a very good looking apple and made some cheese using a simple feature in the program but the the program is HUGE and has endless possibilities so im really looking forward to diving into it because next semester we will also be studying 3D Character Animation.

I've still have to post my research board with the three months and a mood board and will be doing that later tonight because they're not finished when I'm writing this :)
