My last Milestone presentation was pretty indicative of the entire term. The term was, not a waste, but not practically effective. At least, for Seminar. I spent a long time working on a mechanic that I realized wouldn’t work. At Milestone 4.

Griff informed me that it would be beneficial to look into runtime mesh generation— because that would update collisions in the smeared environment. This past week, I gained an ally! Matt, a fellow 1st year MFA student has joined the project!

I've been looking into what Eli recommended after my last Milestone presentation— about how to fix the error that I made in working on alla prima, and about some options for effectively developing the mechanic.

Today I tried to do the Substances assignment for Texturing, using Substance Designer. I couldn't figure out how to make the material apply to the plane/cylinder. I wrote and submitted an application for the Epic Megagrant!
