So April is almost over and I'm still modeling the bathroom. Aggravating, but not a surprise considering last week was a total loss due to unnecessarily long work hours and some personal issues that needed taking care of. Things are about to change for the better but making that change has required a great deal of attention lately, in addition to my being made the owner's personal designer on a last minute project on top of my already time-consuming duties. By the time the weekend got here I was exhausted and spent most of it sleeping. Now I'm up late again, but at least it's for the right reasons. I decided to do the subdivision surfaces tutorial tonight to remind myself of the workflow, and now I'm considering redoing the sink again. But not before I model the toilet. Then I'll consider it. Knowing me, I'll probably end up doing it. The faceted polygon approach taught me a lot but left me with... well... facets. And subdivision surfaces would probably serve me better.
I have a new schedule due to some of the changes about to take place in my life (which I can't talk about yet). One thing I know for sure is that I'm going to SIGGRAPH this year. I booked the flight and the hotel, but I'm waiting until closer to July to register so I can spread out the costs. It makes sense now to set my deadline for August, and that means I can relax a little and take my time doing this right. I can really make it good if I can keep from rushing through it. There is no longer a sense of urgency about this, although there is a definite desire to make consistent progress and not continue to lose entire weeks of my life due to others' lack of planning and respect for my time. I will explain everything in another month or so, but for now, just trust me. This is a good thing. I can't predict what will happen at work over the next few weeks, and there's a lot I can't control, but at least I've started again, and I'll keep going until the next stupid thing happens. One stupid thing at a time.
