So, I’m taking this class GD-436, Interactive Scripting. Our homework for this week is to create a blog account and post a blog. Well since I have a blog account already all I have to do is post a blog for class. I couldn’t really think of a topic to blog about so I’m going [...]

1. Stopped traffic on the Autobahn, every other road is under construction. 2. Everything is closed on Sunday, and you can’t even do any work around the house especially if it is loud like mowing the lawn. 3. Dogs have go to daycare or something to that effect because German law states pets cannot be left alone [...]

Meldeine Sipes — Tue, 29 Sep 2009 09:07:49 +0000

In September 2008 Tay was hit by a life threatening syndrome called GBS, Gullian-Barre Syndrome. Not fatal to younger folks but very possibly fatal to seniors. In October 2008, I went back to Baguio for a month to stay be with Nay and Tay during this painful ordeal. As time went on I began feeling [...]

Well I finally got around to posting the photos from our recent trips. In February, on Valentine’s Day we went to the Wilhelma Zoo in downtown Stuttgart. We didn’t really plan on doing much for V-day so on a whim we went to the zoo. It was cold almost snowy day but we went anyway. [...]

So in my boredom I started stumbling and I came across this recipe “The Most Dangerous Chocolate Cake Recipe.” Before reading the article/recipe I figured it would be this rich and tiresome to prepare chocolate cake, but no… it only takes 5 minutes to make! I definitely have to try this… probably tonight. [...]

It’s been a while since I’ve blogged about something fun other than school projects. The January term ended last week with a week and a half break, so here’s to catching up… On February 13, 2009, Stephen and I went to the Mercedes-Benz Museum. We got up fairly early to catch the SBahn which dropped us [...]

Here’s the final version of my island. I put sound on it but the file is too large, I’m still figuring out how to make the file size smaller but retain picture and sound quality to post online. Here it is, much better lighting and a few other fun stuff added to the island. How [...]

My Private Island – Constructed in Autodesk Maya 2009

Meldeine Sipes — Mon, 23 Feb 2009 12:09:49 +0000

For the last half of this term we were allowed to pick whatever we wanted to model. Initially I was torn between doing a living room and a tropical island. Once I started working on the project, I just started working on the island and didn’t even think of the living room. I worked on [...]

7 Seconds – Animation Using Autodesk Maya 2009

Meldeine Sipes — Thu, 19 Feb 2009 17:33:16 +0000

This term is almost over and I’ve learned so much the past 6 weeks. I really thought I’d never like Maya but turns out it is so much fun. I was sick during week 5 of class so I couldn’t finish my mouse animation on time. I finally submitted it a couple days ago. I [...]
