day 53

Progress is moving along quite nicely now. Motherboard from a dell laptop is being used in place of the acer one. The dell laptop had a shattered screen making it unusable, this was caused by someone rolling onto it while in bed. the graphics card for this laptop is better than the one of the acer meaning that I will be able to do some graphic work while on it. I have yet to find a hard drive to use on it yet so I will not be loading an operating system onto it yet. Though when the time comes I will be using ubuntu 12.01 for the OS. I have recovered a wifi card as well as a bluetooth card to be used within the laptop its self both are compatable as I had them running before the HDD failed within the laptop.

day 52

I began rebuilding a laptop today, an older dell laptop using parts from various other devices. The screen I grabbed from an acer laptop of which had over heated. This laptop had been used for many many hours while being rested on a couch without proper cooling causing the fans to be plugged and unable to remove the heat caused it to heat up to the critical point where the processor overheated. I grabbed the ram from the same device. The motherboard is scrap as it seems the processor melted to it.

day 51

I have managed to create an animation of the gun in motion. I am including a video of the animation currently

day 50

Using a handgun picture as a template I have created a first attempt at a handgun model. this one was a little easier as I have learned about more about how blender works and I hope to make a animation of this gun moving soon.

Day 49

More of the body was worked on currently. I have lowered the polygon count yet again as well as extended the body more making it taller as well as adding arms and legs to the body. This has taken a lot longer than expected. I have worked on this project a total of 18 hours now and it has been very difficult to get to a point where I like it.

day 48

Worked on making person using blender. Working on it using multiple stages. so far I have made a head and shoulders which so far has taken well over 10 hours to work on.  Modeling and remodeling of the heard to get it to this point took lots of maneuvering as well as joining and deleting more of the meshes to lower the polygon count.

Day 47

Computer at work giving connection error with internet connection. Tried diagnosing connection, downloaded third party software to scan connections for errors. None were found after 3 attempts. Debit machine 2 have no connection error as well. Began checking splitter boxes (mass of cables running around the store) turns out splitter from main office to tills was shorting out. Still giving connection to computer. But not to internet. Replaced splitter and connection returned.
