Wow! I can actually CG hair!

I mean, grr, this computer science homework sure is challenging! Grumble grumble grumble... okay, not fooling anyone. :D Mmm, bite-sized VSP! Coming in just over a week!

Anyway, I was really pleased with how my scene is coming for my 3D modeling class this morning. I'm really getting the hang of modeling in Maya! Our assignment is to render an object in a scene, and on the first day, the professor offhandedly used the phrase "objects in space," which made me want to do something Firefly-inspired. So I brainstormed out a lovely composition, settling on Kaylee's umbrella and a box of strawberries, but then I realized (as we went around the room, describing our ideas) that given the time frame we had to model, this would be far too simple, so I needed a new idea. I frantically looked around the room, searching for inspiration, and found that I had fortuitously decided to wear my NMBC shirt to class that day. So I'm rendering the spiral hill and the pumpkin patch and Jack and Zero and such. T'will be luvverly! Now if only I can get out of the habit of doing what boils down to fanart for school projects...
