[Freedroid-discussion] about me and freedroid and life and everything

[basse <bas...@he...>]

little status report on my part.

I am still alive, though after "summer vacation" from Freedroid I have been 
little out of the picture... I haven't really read the mailinglist, or done 
anything else either concerning Freedroid. 

Reason to this is, that the little time I have to put on computer graphics, 
has gone recently to animations. I got several deadlines running on me, and 
quite big projects. and I tell you, animating takes time! huh.

I've been working on Halloween movie.. deadline is closing in and I've been 
working mad, trying to squeeze atleast somesort of intro/trailer of the work 
so far to be shown at this years Blender conference. also, they are asking 
for whatever animations I have to show, so at the same time I'm trying to see 
what else I have that could quickly be rendered and edit into something.. 
hmm, and I'm very good at missing deadlines.. (submission deadline was weeks 
ago, but I have a special deal going.. heh.. )

while this is going, I went and modelled Konqi dragon, joined KDE artist team 
and now am doing advertisement animations with Konqi to be displayed at KDE 
stands here and there.. premier was last wednesday at Linux World Expo 
London :) 
(good news for Freedroid about this is, if we ever need the model, it's now 
out there.. heh)

and, if that's not enough, I'm working on full 3d model of a new library (real 
one) they are building downtown of Helsinki.. we are having information 
terminals for customers, with interactive 3d map with searches and all.. I'm 
doing interface and all 3d graphics. that's I try to do only at work, but 
there is a slight leak to home too.. as always.

besides on graphics stuff, I've participated on Blender development, and boy I 
tell you we have lot of new exciting tools already, and more coming 
constantly! 

BUT! I will be back.. after these hurried deadlines for animation projects 
ease up, I have several jobs on queue already.. but I was thinking of having 
little break there to contribute for Freedroid again. my fingers itch on 
doing something for that..  when working for couple of weeks straight on one 
project, it's relaxing to open any other blends.. and I've already done that 
secretly for Freedroid too :) I just have to get organized and updated on 
what's happening first.

from cold and dark autumn finland,
with love,
basse
