20 Time update 05

1. My project is the re-coloring/texturing/designing of a 3D model of a futuristic city street.
2. I plan on rendering a fly-through of the street model in order to present my work.
3. I discovered that the buildings were jammed together in impossible ways, so I had to mess with the layout in order to make it look more realistic.

Continuing to follow a blog

1. I'm still reading about a guy who's writing a book for his 20 Time project.
2. They've written five chapters so far.
3. The only problem they've encountered recently is that a book isn't exactly something that can be written quickly or in a uniform, easy-to-measure manner.

20 Time Post 04

1. My project is the restructuring, recoloring, and texturing of a model of a futuristic city street for a group I'm working with.
2. I came to the unfortunate realization that the buildings were not arranged in a logical manner (running into each other and that sort of thing), so I'm trying to rearrange them in a manner that would appeal to a sane person.
3. It's hard to work with a set of models that I didn't make, especially on something as complex as this.  I can't really overcome this, but I can work past it and make them look worthy of being used in a 3D movie.

A blog I'm still following

1. I've been following the 20 Time blog of a guy who's writing a book.
2. He's making good progress on the next chapter of the book; the introductory portion is over and he's getting to the plot.
3. His largest obstacle is a lack of time with which to work on the book, but he's overcoming that and getting things done.
