I've made a decision
Up until now I've only been playing around and making a few models, but I'm wasting my time this way. I need to advance my modelling skills so when I get into a tech school I wont have to worry about keeping up. I want to be one of the best, but I'm not going to do that by creating a weapon from time to time.
I'm going to get through the rest of the modelling chapters in my book. Then I'm going to go through the animation chapters as well. After that I'll start drawing out a few characters and I'll pick out the best to start making models of them.
I have an amazing idea for an animation and I'm not going to wait years to do it when I can do it after a month of study.
Just wanted to give you guys a heads up that soon my posts are going to get more advanced. However I wont have any advanced rendering in my posts until after christmas. I still have'nt gotten the learning maya rendering book. I'm also going to get the special effects book. That will be very helpful, because I've got this gut feeling that I'm going to be very good at particle effects. I'm not sure why, but whenever I get this feeling I know its going to turn out good.

Huh life sucks
I was really tired cuz of all the qigong and kiai training Ozu's got me going through, so I finally finished my shuriken and did the render. I wanted to start something new so I deleted everything in the scene. Dont tell me I know. I should have just started a new file, but I was tired and I accidentally saved over the file and I have no previous versions of it to renew and not even a single back up. So sorry people, but I dont think we'll see anymore of the big version of the shuriken, but for now I'm going to upgrade the bustersword and give it my own flare. So expect that sooner or later. Whenever. lol

Slight setback 'may need some help:

Ok people this is the first time I'm actually using this journal so bare with me if I'm doing this wrong. Now then as you may have noticed I have recently gone through another artist slump and lost any insperation that is why I have'nt posted anything lately, but that is going to change very soon. I am currently creating an upgraded version of the prototype Fox Fire Shuriken. The newer version will have white diamond blades surrounded by a black aura. The aura is very similar to the black arura effect in kh2. I have already gotten that part done ,but I have recently encountered a problem. So far I only know a little bit about rendering so despite how good my polygon modelling is it will look very inadequate when compared to a properly rendered image. So I have decided that this time I will give the shuriken a reflective metal effect. The only problem being I have no idea how to do that. I hvae tried to give it a reflectivity setting and I also figured out that if you dont have any lighting it wont reflect, but I just cant seem to get any proper lighting. I think that I should create a room around the object then add lighting, but I would rather get others opinions before proceeding. So if you know how I can create a realistic reflective metal effect plz send me a private message.
