    From our course server:

    Quote

    3D AnimationYou need to create a short animation on the subject of your choice. It should be a complete narrative. A short story with a beginning, middle and end. An example of this would be the squirrel shorts at the start of Ice Age where he is trying to bury his nut. We need you to demonstrate not only a technical ability but also some originality and creativity. (Example: Aurora, Tom Sparrow, A Feathered Tale or Hurry Home.)

    You need to show a thorough understanding of 3D concepts and techniques

    You need to show originality and creativity in storytelling

    You need to show a sense of design and aesthetics

    You need to show compositional and editing qualities

    Preferred

    You also show an innovative approach to the medium of animation

    You also show an innovative use of technology

    The final piece should be 2 1/2 minutes long. Output full PAL to DV tape. A 320 * 256 pixel resolution QuickTime compressed with the Sorenson 3 video codec and the Mpeg 4 audio codec on CD Rom should also be submitted. All audio that is under copyright needs a usage clearance and that needs to be submitted as well.

    Its even more amazing when you consider they did this in 7 months, whilst doing the other 3 modules required for Year 3 and their dissertations

    This is made by 2 guys in the year above me for their Final Year Degree Project.

    Amazing to see it all finished after sitting in labs with them doing it and helping, the making of bit is fun to see how they put it all together.

    Now I have to do this level of work for next year.

    No price cut for Euro PS3 console

    A happy customer buying his PS3 in London last month

    Sony in the US say the price cut will boost sales

    Sony is not cutting the price of the PlayStation 3 in Europe, but will offer free games and accessories instead.

    There is also no word of plans for an 80GB version of the console in Europe.

    Might sound really stupid, but how long is it been since you actually played hl2? What I'm trying to say is, that after steam updated hl2, sometimes you need to run hl2 to get other mods working again.

    Anyway, succes! You're missing out on good stuff!

    Ages.

    But if thats the case, why do all the other SourceMods work fine?

    Sony is slashing the price of its PlayStation 3 games console by 17% in the US to boost sales.As a result of the $100 price cut the PS3 will now cost $500 (£249), $20 more than the rival Microsoft Xbox and twice as much as the Nintendo Wii.

    Aaaaand I'm still not the slightest bit interested in getting a PS3.

    I think I may just get a D40 or D40X. The D40 + 18-55 is currently £280 after rebate.

    The D50 is all but gone, I had a good look round town and online and they are pretty much all gone or overpriced now. The D80 is perhaps just a notch too far in cost. Can get a D40 + 18-55 and 55-200 for half the price of a D80 and 18-135mm.

    I actually got into 2 servers today.

    Then had a connection failed as soon as I ran more than 5 or so steps.

    Still cant get into any servers online, or on the 1/100 chance I do I get a Connection Failed error within about 10s.

    Microsoft has said that it is facing a bill of more than $1bn to cover the cost of offering extended warranties, after failings with its Xbox 360.The company admitted it had been forced to make "an unacceptable number of repairs" to the consoles after key hardware failed.

    Oh a pickle indeed.

    Personally I love Nikons, however for my first DSLR I am a bit...stuck.

    I did originally intend to get a D50 but they are now hard to find, the D40 is good but the lack of internal AF motor will be a pain later on. So the D80 was the next choice and I've used them a lot and I like them.

    However....

    D80 + 18-135mm standard kit lens = ~£700

    Canon 400D + Canon 18-55 + Tamron 55-200mm + Centon Backpack = £600

    I do love Nikons but is there a compelling reason to spend the £300 more on it? I'm not so sure anymore.

    I've still not been able to join any servers online, just freezes in map loading screen on Sending Client Info.

    Mustve tried 20-30 times. All other source games work fine as does BF2 so not a PC/Firewall issue.

    Still have only got in one server once out of about 20-30 attempts. The server promptly then crashed/dissapeared.

    no excuse, still a fail.

    Agreed. I expect the mods team reputation to take a hefty dent after all this.

    These things shouldve been done before Jeremy goes spouting off release dates.

    Ok, so Jeremy now said its today...promised. But today Eastern.

    Makes sense as I can't see it being done in the next 45mins so thats basically June 1st, but only for America.
