A Little Update
It seems that I’ve been short on time, but overdue for an update around here. Work with Sapling continues to go well. Lately I have been moving into the post production phase of a 3D animation that I’ve been working on for some time over there. It’s about the translation process wherein individual strings of our genetic code are translated into a polypeptide chain and eventually form a protein. It’s exciting stuff, and I’m anxious to get it all strung together and finessed.
I also managed to get in another vacation. I went back up north for the big regional burn event that is held in Michigan. It’s called Lakes of Fire and I had an amazing time. I also got a glimpse at my old Chicago neighborhood and I have to say that the people and places there still hold a pretty big piece of my heart. That and they’ve gotten me thinking about plasma cutters. All the computer art I make starts looking a lot cooler when I start seeing such things used to create real things. And this weekend I learned that one can design an image in Illustrator and use that design with a plasma cutter to have it cut into steel. Nothing about that is anything less than awesome. Seriously, my friends made this, and I’m ever so impressed.
Just sayin’.
Anyway I promise to write more soon. And thanks as always for reading.
