Goddam trials.

Presentations on friday! im not looking forward to it as my environment project is barely started. (had a bunch of issues, notice my first peice of work was posted in november eugh,) Anyway i got just over 2 days to try and get something presentable for it, i took reference photos over christmas of my garden. I was gonna do the scrapyard one but the turkish/polish people wouldn't let me take pictures that week (i dunno why, maybe they dont want me modelling their precious smashed up punto's.) The project is pretty easy, i can probably get some sort of decent assets in the time i have left, i don't know about decent lighting and stuff because the max viewport isn't the best platform for environments. If only "shaderfx" didnt cost like 250 dollars and i'd be sound.
Also my mudbox trial expired and i can't find a keygen/crack for it, we probably should be provided with this sort of stuff, ill ask about it when i i'm at uni but i won't bank on getting a copy.
ALSO my crazybump trial expired, i didnt even know it was a trial i thought it was free! but no it costs $300 for a pro copy! i can't even afford the student version wich is still $70, its a shame that i can't use it anymore i tried cracking it but that didn't work, ive been using xnormal instead so not all is lost.

dont worry about shaderFX, you can light things awesomely in max if you set up your lights correctly.

if your in the labs this week come see me and ill give u mudbox or zbrush.

im sure it'll all turn out okay
