This week has been a simple one, seems like a calm before the end of the term storm so to speak. Next week our team will finally get to meet with our benefactor and take a tour of the concrete strain facility on Tuesday. I am both very excited and also a little worried with the virus spiking lately, but at least according to Professor Bailey they take virus safety very seriously. Regardless, it will be good to talk to the client directly and be able to work out some of the smaller issues as well as see the equipment we will be working with. During some of our earlier submissions we’ve had some issues saying exactly what we’ll be using since we haven’t been able to see it. Plus, going to Corvallis is always a good excuse to get some good food at least (to take home of course).
In the Computer Graphics course, we dealt with Shaders this week and I ended up making something that looked like chewing gum, which wasn’t exactly super appealing but was an interesting effect I suppose. I had a lot of issues with the project but much to my annoyance, it didn’t have to do with my code (well for the most part) but they were due to visual studio this time! I was absolutely lived at how much time I wasted trying to fix the issue when it was simply visual studio not properly finding the shader files. Regardless, I got the project turned in right on time which I’m happy about, and I’m glad that the term seems to be starting to wind down. I’m hoping that its going to be a cold winter this year, if everyone is going to be trapped at home, I would love some snow to play in at least!
