Finally, I can check "model character" off my to do list. All the latest models are posted in the work in progress slide show, and despite the hack I put in the ActionScript the other day I still find that I have to clear my cache before the new xml file will load. Annoying. But they're there, bunny slippers, shower cap and all.
I took out the links to the old car wash, bathroom and character slide show pages, which meant updating (or deleting) links in some old entries as well. Anything that linked to the old bathroom page now links to the work in progress page instead, and one car wash page link was deleted. I'm surprised it wasn't harder than it was to clean those out. My next task will be to consolidate some of the categories in the current slide show, but not tonight. I'm three days behind starting the rigging and I really have to get on that before I start anything else.
I have a great idea for an update to my home page before SIGGRAPH but it will involve a little more modeling, some extra texturing and a little extra lighting. I haven't decided if I'm going to do that yet, it all depends on how fast I can get the rigging and layout done. If I can make up three days by Friday I'll spend a day this weekend getting my site updated. I want to have it ready well in advance of the job fair so when I create my profile on CreativeHeads.net and put in my URL, visitors won't be bogged down with a bunch of graphic design crap before they find what they're looking for. I'm going to leave my idea as a surprise though. I'm optimistic I can pull it off and yet I don't know why. I really have no reason to think I can squeeze in some extra work when I'm already behind. But it's just like me to try.
Think I'll get in bed with my sketchbook and iron out a design. It's only midnight...
Wait.
I just checked CreativeHeads.net again. They finally posted who's recruiting at SIGGRAPH. Basically, it's no one I was hoping to talk to. There are two or three companies I'd be interested in but they're not looking for a lighter, in fact one of them is looking for a web developer. SERIOUSLY??? Forget it. This throws a serious kink in my plan. I'm going to have to get creative. I'm going to somehow have to get my URL to the right people before the conference and hope I can meet up with someone while I'm there. More difficult, but possible nonetheless. Someone is testing me to see how badly I want this. Ok, fine. Do that. Test me. I'll pass. It's too late to give up now.
