Becoming a teacher

I didn't imagine getting into the teaching circle.

Like my classmate Jackie mentioned before: "I wrote an whole 30 pages essay to say how I don't want to be a teacher, here I am! I love teaching!"

Being a teacher wasn't something I planned for myself either, but I can see the usefulness of having such a skill... and not to mention I started it myself, artistshospital sort of trained me in that area too.

I have a teachers' meeting on May 10th, an invitation from Mrs. Liu. I will be going to see the classrooms and other teachers.

I will start as an substitute teacher first for a while, until my schedule can be steady enough to teach on the dates they need me for a whole year.

好像真的走上當老師的路線了. 其實自己從來沒想過要去當老師.
就像我同學Jackie自己形容的:"我曾經寫過30頁的報告說我為什麼不想當老師, 但是現在你看我喜歡教學喜歡的不得了!"

以前別人問過我要不要當老師我會是猛搖頭說不的人... 現在反而踏上這條路. O_o 還是自願的.
說起來.... 藝術醫院不就是這類的工作嗎? (還是自找的, 一做就好幾年了)

劉老師邀請我去他們的老師晚餐會,會有成功的老師分享他們的教法,想必對我的未來目標也會很有幫助. :) 現在先當代課, 等到我的行程穩定能配合他們的時間時就升任正式教學.

Working

I still can't get the lights to shine through the window, but it happened for the door for some reason...

I can't texture Jeremy's hair properly right now, for some reason, Maya doesn't like to take poly that's converted from Nurbs or Subdiv to work with UV.... there's probably something I don't know. But this is where I am right now. :/

Texture texture texture

Texturing the background... currently I only know how to use automatic mapping and planar mapping. Simple stuff. But just being able to texture makes me happy. XD

god I am getting obsessive

"ARGH!!! Something is wrong again!!!!"

"What's wrong? Did you render it all separately or together? Why don't you render one section at the time?"

Dan asked lazily, almost a bit tired of me streaming in frustration.

"That white spot! It's not supposed to be there!!!"

"But! Jiiie! That's like what... 0.02 seconds!" Matt complaint about it's insignificance.

I took up the eraser tool, and good thing it was fixed easily.... OTL

But the other sequence is not so lucky.... I just wanted to add one more layer to the old composition, bad idea.... I gave up on that one.


Sometimes, I wanted to scream like this:

MUUUUUWEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!

Favorite and least favorite in animation

My least favorite part in animation process is.......................... TWEENING.
Hand done or automatic, tweening just gives me a bunch of problems, Maya gives me problem when it's automatic, same with flash and After Effects. (But I do find tweening in after effects a tag more friendly than the other two when I get used to it, thanks to toggle hold key frame)

My most favorite part in animation?

It's finishing it!! HA HA!

I finished my 2D final for this year, but my 3D really really suffered...... I will get it done, but it won't look anywhere I call presentable. T_T

Sigh. I am still a complete n00b in texturing and ncloth.... there's no way I will have the time to figure it out right now before my scene is completed, I just have to deal with it with the default hyper shade and have Jeremy look like some life-less doll for now.
