Physics. Tis annoying. Almost as annoying as trying to simulate a realistic soap bubble system in 3ds Max without references. I kept getting pestered about it (those gurus know who they are), so I spent my double free today taking another stab at it. It wasn't pretty, but I'm starting to kinda get somewhere. I've determined I need a high friction deflector, at least one drag, an additional deflector to make some parts run at different times, and a whole lot of time 0_0. Why without references? Try searching soap bubbles and you'll see why

The movieguru and I gave blood today. Was pretty nifty. Missed some boringish classes, ate a lot of sugary food (ugh, I'm full), did a little sketching (see my scraps), and helped a good cause. Oh yeah, I also raced and beat themovieguru in terms of how long it took me to give blood. I started after her and finished before she did. Booo-yah!

Why is it that blender, a free-ware 3d modelling, has two features that are severely lacking in the expensive 3ds Max? Blender has a powerful sculpt mode and an even more powerful fluid simulator, yet 3ds Max is nowhere near either of these. At least there's particle flow and a better interface, but I'm sure Blender will soon sport varieties of both.

I don't usually shoot in black and white. Sometimes I take color photos and convert them to black and white, but I always try to avoid that grayscale look. I like a little bit more contrast in my B&W pics.
