The Malaysia trip is drawing to a close.
We're all busily trying to finish off the work that we have started at Mygo and Lim Kok Wing. The projects have grown and is much bigger than I thought, I was sure that I'd have finished what I was assigned to do earlier, but more stuff has been added since I started and it has gradually snowballed.
The work at LKW also changed direction as me and Alice found that we had already learnt a lot of what we were doing. We discussed this with the lecturers and decided to try something different. 3D was suggested and we both jumped at the chance. We changed classes, and learnt the basics of 3D Studio Max. We've been asked to model an aeroplane and some flying goggles, which will then be used in Ian and Sioned's project of designing a title sequence for a film we may produce after returning home.
This is just the introduction to 3D I need as I have tinkered with it previously but have not been able to get very far. Now I can model basic structures and animate them. I'm looking forward to exploring the possibilities of using 3D in Flash after I return home.
Outside of work I'm still very much enjoying living in KL. It is a vibrant city that has something on at all times of the night. But for a break we visited the island of Penang over the weekend, and stayed at the Holiday Inn in the northen end of the island. It was great to sit by the pool and walk on the sand and being proper tourists again, and everyone much enjoyed the trip. However I was disapointed not to have been able to photograph me on Lebuh Carnavon (Street) in Georgetown, Penang's capital. Next time, perhaps.
On Thursday evening, Eugene, one of the lecturers at LKW took us out for a meal in a food court not far from where he lives. We have been working close with Eugene since our arrival, and all of us get along great with him. We had a great night out, and discovered mysterious Chinese foods such as Ota Ota and the Century Egg.
I took loads of photos and I'll try and post them on flickr soon. I've also set up a Cyfle group, where my own and Alice's photos can be seen.
