Turbine was acquired by Warner Brothers yesterday, which now makes me an employee of Warner Brothers Home Entertainment.

Guru dies at age 48. In case you aren’t familiar with hip hop he was a fairly influential artist that mixed jazz and hip hop to create his own unique blend of music. Him and his music will definitely be missed.
Now that it’s summer, we have been able to get out more and see more of the city. This past weekend my Mom and stepdad came into town for a visit, and we had a great time showing them around. We got to walk around more of the city, and I started to get more a perspective of where everything is in the city. Until this past weekend I didn’t realize how close everything really is in the city. I will post some more pictures shortly.
School has started back up, and I am taking a Digital Ink and Paint course. It has been mainly pretty technical so far. We have mainly been doing things such as cleaning up the lines of an image in an animation, and then adding paint to it through a bucket tool. Using Flipbook this process is really simple, and after only a couple of weeks I have learned to speed up the process of scanning and painting images for 2D animation. I also recently got a copy of 3D Studio Max and Mudbox, so I am hoping to work on a model using those to learn a bit more about modeling and texturing.
Everything else is going well. It has been a busy summer of visitors, but it has been fun. The weather should be fairly nice here, so I’m hoping that this could be a good weekend for us to finally have some time to sit by the pool.
