Tuesday, May 26, 2009

Today was a great day. I woke up and got ready to go to my internship at Mobile Motion. Myong came and picked me up about 8:30am or so and then we were off to Mobile Motion. We followed the directions that Google provided us but yet we still ended up getting lost. We arrived in Glendale around 9am but we drove around for over an hour trying to find the place. We ended up arriving at 10:15am when we were supposed to be there at 10am :/ however we did call Mark a few times to ask for directions ;) and of course he was not mad that we were late. Mark showed us around and took us to our workstations which were not properly set up yet but we managed ;).

Mark wanted us to take a Google SketchUp model and export as an .obj file in order to bring it into Maya. This file was a large mansion house that need to be textured in order for the client to sell the home before it is build, a $25,000,000 home. After we imported the .obj file, we had to clean up the scene because it was in very bad shape after the transfer of the file. Myong cleaned up the building and added some textures and did a few renders, while I redid some of the landscape. We spend most of our day working on this, however we did take a 45 minute break and hung out with Eric and Kris. The are both really cool guys and are really nice and showed us around a little and told us about some stuff. We went back to work for the last hour of the day and did what we could and met with Mark so he could see what we had done. Mark really liked what we had to so far and called the client so she could meet with us tomorrow about it.

After that we left Mobile Motion, which was about 6pm and headed to the movie theater. We stopped to eat at Rubios first and then bought tickets to see Terminator Salvation. This movie was really awesome. The effects were really good and a lot of good visual effects companies worked on it. PLF was one of the companies and little did we know that Luke and Chris, seniors that just graduated in Digital Media, worked there. Both Luke ad Chris worked on Terminator Salvation as compositors. Myong and I were really excited about this and wish we could congratulate them on their accomplishment. We then left the movie theater and Myong droped me off at home. I then talked with Kim about her first day interning and it sounded like she really enjoyed it :).
