Watcha doin' there mate?

Recently I've been converting the Passat Pikes Peak model into a lowpoly model. The model stood around 15 million polygons when I made it last summer, currently it is down to 65k polies, and going lower.. except when I re-create the interior & engine and so on. Target is under 100 000 polies anywho, I reckon I can manage it. Anyway, here's a couple shots of the model in it's current state

Changes =)

I made some rather drastic changes in the Blogger layout, stripped everything off. Now, if you read this in blogger, its gonna look pretty awful, plain white background and orange font, not too nice, so why dont you head over to http://astros.e0nes.com and see how it looks there.

Class on 8.2.2010

FFFUUU... presentation today. Not quite as prepared as I'd like to be. Too lazy, as always.
But not yet, Mika's got something to lecture about first. Networking. A common thing today. Networking is a big thing, and always been. Previously we've just handed out our business cards to other people and meeting them, but today we use social medias to network.Then Mika showed us a cool (CoolIris) plugin for Firefox, video/picture wall.. quite the interesting street photos on flickr.

Internet mass storage
Cloud saving
Back-up for images, for instance, not too pricy either, to use. But will they be around in 5, or even 10 year's time? Can't know that for sure..

Yay, Mika pretty much explained 90% of what I was going to tell about Instant messaging. :<

So what's the point of the presentation anyway? Well, Just picked up my laptop, and I'll present something more than I could've on the school computer. Should be alright, since the point is to actually demonstrate the programs.

And of course the VGA output on my (now completely broken) laptop was broken and there was no DVI on the projector etc., so I grabbed the laptop and placed it on the document camera.. it worked, sort of. Great ideas come in the moment, riiiiite..? Anywho, the presentation went quite well and since we were supposed to demonstrate the products more than tell about the subject, it wasn't all that bad.
