ARC-170 Fighter

~~Warning, keep your eyeballs intact and try to refrain from staring at the detail of this thing. Model is definitely not for sale(lol... who would want a crappy model anyway...)~~

So.. for the assignment i drew this fighter from Star Wars....
Its the ARC-170 fighter.... took me every night for 1 whole week to build this freakin thing....
Marks based on effort the lecturer says.... if he dosent give me full marks for this im so gonna screw him...

A front-top view.... took about 10 minutes to render this thing.... so lame..

Another view.... Wonder if 3DS Max is a better 3d drawing software...

Kinda got a headache from flipping the model around... its not as easy as it looks...

The interior of the thing... wonder if he'll even look at the inside... XD theres a cute little R2D2 at the top..

I got the measurements from a paper model i built... lol... took about just as long to build the paper model.... There are turbine blades inside the engine too...

Wonder why the render looks plasticky... it actually looks better when you can rotate it in 3d...

Lazy to render anymore... the renders dont look that good anyway.... its kinda hard to believe that i actually built this thing... theres a sense of satisfaction when you look at it after its complete... XD... the models built by my friends look really nice too...

Now i suddenly feel empty... dunno why... maybe its cause the things finally complete and theres not much to do now... imagine every night for 1 whole week just for a model...

sigh.... finals in 1 week... time passed really fast... feels like it was just 2 weeks ago....

[insert title here]

yes... im too lazy to think of a title...

anyway... time flies again... the second wave of tests and assignment is finally over... now all that awaits is the final exams.... actually theres still one last assignment... the 3d modelling for our drawing class...
We're supposed to just build something 3d using autocad.... seriously.. autocad isn't really suited for 3d stuff... its really difficult to build a simple piece (i salute the people who designed the transformers).... but it looks really nice though... maybe i'll post pictures of my assignment when im done....

by the way... why do people say that time files... how can something untangible fly... time is just an idea which was created by people and in fact does not exist.. just kidding...
though... i seem to have lost track of time... it seems to just fly by without me noticing...
I wonder... do people's perception of time differ from each individual? maybe.... well... who cares anyway... time is time and wont change no matter how we view it...unless if we could exist outside of time...
Maybe our lives are just little timed simulations carried out by some being outside this existance (dunno where that idea came from)....

What else.... oh yea... theres this game called Left 4 Dead... a really fun game... typical humans vs zombies game... kill all the zombies.. but with strategy and teamwork added....
Now our computer lab time is mostly spent playing this game... lol... definately a game worth playing with friends...

Lately i keep feeling sleepy... no idea why... im sure i get enough sleep... but then i still feel sleepy... maybe its just in my head.... some days i feel like i could run around without eating or sleeping... and other days i just feel like sleeping the whole day away.... wonder if anyone else feels like this...

Heh... so... another day has passed... and soon another week... and etc... melancholy sets in... sigh...

Crap....

Wow... its Wednesday already.... time passed so fast.... for me anyway....
Today was the EEE test.... and... things didn't go too well... in fact... everything was damn wrong....
Think i seriously messed up this time... can only hope that i get decent marks...
Supposed to finish 4 questions in 2 hours.... used up 45 mins on the first one... so.... it ended up like crap... cant blame me though... the question was stupidly long... and my lecturer cant set proper questions which are plausible to finish in 2 hours.....

Still got the math test again... somehow i feel like im gonna snap anytime soon....
The math assignment was so tedious that a missing negative sign would screw you up..... at least thats over....
And then.... it seems that "piracy" rates are quite high in our class.... once answers are leaked, the whole class would get it really fast...in the end.... everyone's answers would be almost the same...

Seems that those who went for matriculation are back for the holidays... 2 weeks to be exact... They have 2 weeks of holiday and i have 2 more weeks of class.... lol...
Even so... nothing seems to have changed at all... or maybe im too busy to notice....

After this week things should calm down a little... 2 more weeks till finals... guess thats how things are... just a while ago it was the start of semester 2... now its almost the end already....

Not over yet....

Due date of the EEE assignment was yesterday.... programming assignment today....
Because of these assignment... I'm now lacking sleep... damn... these assignments are not easy at all...

But... it still not over... in fact it hasn't even begun yet...
lets see...
next Monday have to hand in the EEE lab report...
Tuesday is the malaysian studies test...
Wednesday is the EEE test and due date of the math assignment....
Thursday.... is the deadline for the drawing assignment and math test....
Friday... there wont be a friday because we'd all be dead by then....

Sigh... no need to sleep for the next whole week already...

Aside from the tests and assignments... nothing much has happened.... or rather.. i didnt have the time to notice anything that happened....

Week of the dead...

Good morning world... this week is the week of the dead... or rather deadlines...
either way... most of us would be half dead by the end of this week...

Warning... this is another complaint post....

The main reason for being stressed is the fact that our EEE lecturer is definitely crappy...
Gives us an assignment without briefing us about it... but thats not the worst part....
The worst part is that the instructions and questions of the assignment are hardly understandable.... he could at least give specific instructions on what he wants us to do... and then... he still hasnt completed the syllabus thats needed for our assignment... "go study by yourselves" he says....damn....

Sigh... the next week is already filled with tests....
Oh well.. back to work... no use complaining anyway...

Hectic time again....

Da da da.... time for assignments and tests again.... this time its even worse...
Lets see... there are 3 assignments due within one week, 1 lab report due on Monday... some tests are coming too....

Time to hit the panic button....
According to my calculations... i have only less than 2 days to complete one assignment... looks like there's going to be more sleepless nights ahead...

All right.. time to get started... Lets go!!!! must pia... if not sure die... XD...

Recent happenings...

All right... what happened recently?.. most of you should already know....
Yesterday there was this event called 'Engineering Night'... its like a party-dinner-prom kind of a thing organized by the engineering society of my college... ?supposed to be a really important event?.... think so...

For those who went, you would know how exciting and fun experience it was....had a really wonderful time...
The coordination of the whole event was expected from an event planned by students... some minor delays and technical problems.... but its still quite a success...

The food was quite good... The events were interesting... one of the more notable events was the beatboxing thing.... performance was so cool... totally amazing... the only time the whole room was quiet was during this event... too bad for those who missed it... lols...
Another event was to choose the king and queen for the night... though, it was more like an event just to prank those unfortunate enough to be nominated... XD

And then.... one of the weirdest things happened... 5 out of 11 people at our table won lucky draws what are the chances of that.... but sadly im not one of them...

Since i dont have a camera... there are no pictures right now... probably get them from my friends later....

Anyway.. back to the present...
I went to watch Transformers 2 today... which is supposedly a really good show...
"2 and a half hours of special effects" would be enough to summarize the whole show.... haha...
Technically speaking... it was quite nice from the point of the special effects... the story was normal and quite full of cliches.... such as.. the hero never dies... and blah blah....

Another thing about it is that its a "leave your brain outside" kind of show... The logic parts never add up... maybe the producers thought that the viewers would be too wrapped up in the special effects to be bothered about the logic... like.. why is there enough time to do CPR in the middle of the battlefield and not be blasted to bits.... oh well... movies are like that and thats what make them entertaining...

And so... this post ends here.... hope that more interesting things happen....
