After 3 and a half years..This is finally it..

Portfolio Review for graduation is less than 24 hours away. Its all come down to this day. Judgement day. I wont lie and say I am not nervous. But I am also confident. Ive learned a lot while attending college, but especially over the last nine weeks. I've learned to not doubt myself so much. I've learned to trust myself in that am capable of doing great work, if I try my absolute best. I know I did the very best I could.

Tomorrow, after they tell me I pass, that will only be the beginning.

Graduation in just a few weeks...Website updated

As graduation is fast approaching, I have been working my a** off trying to improve my work, as well as get everything else done that needs to be done like getting business cards printed and things like that.

I was really worried at first, but I think I will be just fine now. I think a lot of my hard work is going to pay off. I have my website updated with a slick new, user friendly design now. Check it out at brandonmcduffie.com.

New problems arise as my projects improve..



Ok the lighter image is what it should look like for the most part after I had to take it to Photoshop and adjust the levels of the image. The dark image is what the jpeg saves as after I render it in Max. The light one is what it looks like when I render it in Max, but the dark one is how it looks after I save the image. Makes no sense and I have no idea why this is happening. It just started happening yesterday. I have to get this problem figured out so I dont have to waste all sorts of time trying to adjust the lighting afterwards when it should already look right beforehand...ugghhh...

Back to living room..


Decided to try and use daylight instead of artificial. There is this noise issue around some of the objects that is driving me crazy. I havent figured it out yet. Whatever it takes to fix it, I'm sure its just gonna add to the already lengthy render time..uggh..
