Well I recently started a new internship with a localish games/other digital media company which is why I'll probably be slowing up on the updates. Its taking a lot of time in terms of travel, but I definitely think that the payoff of what I learn/general experience will be more than worth the effort.
Today I started learning to use Blender, which basically is Maya... but with every possible change to the controls that could possibly be imagined. This is more than a little confusing I'll admit but I think I'm making goodish progress... though I'll probably find myself unable to use Maya by the end of the week when I come back to doing uni work, which is ironic having only just gotten the hang of it. But yeah... Blender seems a good enough little program, and its exciting to be learning some new skills already.
Overall my new internships very exciting, more than a little daunting too having never actually worked in design before I've only ever done art on whim before, rather than to order... and as everyone knows I'm not exactly the best person for overall ideas. Details I can do, but ideas = hopeless.
Hopefully though I'm making myself useful and everyone isn't just being overly polite lol (paranoia). Seems like a nice place to spend a year that's for sure, everyone is so friendly and the office is COOL looking.
Also I have two computer screens which is really rather awesome and I feel all techy and important like I know stuff... even though I don't.
So yeah, watch this space for updates on stuff I learn. Though obviously I'll not be posting any work or saying what I'm working on I might be able to link to cool sites or games or whatnot when they're launched I suppose, which might be nice.
