Been learning 3d modelling in
Blender for a little while now. I tried to start learning it twice before, but just
anything at all seemed incredibly difficult. The whole interface felt foreign. But this time I finally got past the initial roadblocks of the interface and completed a couple tasks. After that there is still a ton to learn and it can be quite difficult to do what seems obvious, but it’s so awesome and powerful that the fun factor seems to be enough to keep me interested. I’m thinking about starting a youtube channel just to document my progress. I’ll post a link here if I decide to do that. If not I’ll post a video soon.
Blender
Feel tired and cranky today. Not enough sleep and definitely not enough food. Being hungry is a surprisingly good motivation for programming though. When all I want is the time to pass working seems to be a great default, time-killing activity. I even finished up version 1.0 of the database administration script that I was creating. Think like phpMyAdmin except you have to create a file that explicitly chooses the database and you get to choose how you want each datafield displayed: none, checkbox, textarea, dropdown list populated from another table(you explicitly select the table, id field, and display field), time of day (converts timestamps into hour/minute/ampm and back), or a textbox(default). It all works really well and you can make a whole new page that edits a database table in just a minute or two.
Dieting, Programming
Yeah, let’s try this again. If you try enough times you
might eventually succeed, right? Also using that concept for a diet right now. Trying again. With all the practice it should come closer and closer to working. I’ll keep you updated! *fingers crossed*
