Still here!
It’s been quite a while since an update! I’m still alive and kicking.
Work is going great. I really have the best job in the world at Lumenas and have the great opportunity of working with an amazing team — a true blessing. It’s been great seeing things fall into place and see our company grow. The end result is going to be stunning.
I’m a Springboard mentor at Animation Mentor this term. Springboard is a class available before starting at AM in class 1, to learn about Maya and get used to the technical aspects of the massive application before diving into animation. It’s filled with info that I didn’t learn until class 4 when I bought some Digital Tutors DVDs to learn more about Maya. It’s definitely an excellent resource for those not familiar with Maya.
In other non-animation-related news, I’ve started a photoblog. It’s been wonderful being able to get back to some hobbies after work and have time to pursue them. Spring time is slowly creeping in here in Utah and you can’t help but get outside on those beautiful days.

Nice picture set in your photoblog. It’s a good idea, get outside with a purpose. When it stops being so gloomy here I’ve got some ideas to get me outside also.

Hi Alexiss. What beautiful pictures you have taken!
It’s so cool that you have returned to Animation Mentor. I am a mentor student at the moment in class 3 and I wanted to do the Springboard first, but decided to jump straight in at the deep end. I don’t know Maya too well, I have only learn how to use it for animation and how to use the graph editor through the trainning videos, but am stuggeling with making props and rendering shots and such. Do you think doing the springboard would help me out in those areas?
Keep blogging! It’s fun to read!
