Sinking fast

Ok, that's a pun. I'm not in the same frame of mind I was in my last entry, mainly because I've had sleep and I have tomorrow off. I'm sure I'll be right back to thrilled tomorrow night. However, I have yet to recover from the frustration of losing so much of last week on this project. Sometimes all it takes to feel better is to start working again, which I've done, but it's not enough this time. I was all set to get back to work Thursday night but we had lightning (and worse) all evening and I didn't feel like I should be working on the computer. So last week was shot, and this weekend is going fast. I wanted to have the whole bathroom modeled by the time I quit tonight but I don't. I should be happy with progress though, and I have made progress. I finished the sink model; it's posted in the slide show. I did start a second time on the sink bowl and I'm glad I did because the model makes a lot more sense now. I'm much happier with it than I was with my first attempt. I guess I am getting better--the bathtub took four tries and the sink only took two. Maybe I can get the toilet right the first time. Then there are faucets and a light fixture. After that, piece of cake. Right?

I ordered a book on mental ray and it came on Thursday, so I'm reading that when I get in bed at night. By the time I'm ready to do some real rendering I should have a decent grasp of it.
