An "Intro to Houdini" class was conducted at 12pm today and just ended.

So I had to interrupt the renders on several workstations.

Now the renderings are back online and rolling.

Right now I'm still documenting my stuff and getting ready for the presentation.

Everything is going according to plan. Yeah I know I tell myself that in this blog all the time.

Why? Positive attitude man. Positive, positive, positive!

Without it nobody's gonna go home with any accomplishment.

Mr Douglas just sent in an email giving us yet another motivational push.

Thank you all who have been supporting us since Final Year Project started, followed by Project SESI.

It's a race against time and I know I can do it.

We'll all come home as champions.
