So there's basically a sneak peak. Enjoy the crappy quality, I guess.

(My computer counldn't keep up with SketchUp's demands, which is why the wireframe is shown.)

Terminal 2 slowly takes shape. There's still more to be done, but at least it resembles Terminal 2, right? Yeah. I'll update more on this later on today. Check the comparison below.


I'm very pissed off this morning, it's because of this:

"eww. sketchup"

A friend responded this over an AIM conversation about modelling. He told me that SketchUp sucks and that 3D Max is better. I told him to fuck off.


...fucking internet elitism.

Today I focused on one thing, this part of LAX.


The thing about this intersection is, it is fucking hard to model. I'm not gonna get into detail. But let's just say I spent a good 3 hours making it (About 30 minutes of that time where wasted looking at the model aruging with myself). In the end I got pissed and deleted it all. I started working on Terminal 1 and Parking Lot 1 after.



The biggest development in this update was that the Depatures level (top road) was a bit too high, I had to lower the model significantly just so that I could make the skyway between Terminal 1, and Parking Lot 1. The end result looks pretty good, but now I have to fix the many scattered lines left over. For today, Terminal 1 and Parking Lot 1 are looking good.

Just check this picture out.



Yeah. (You can see the raised street level.)

I decided I am not gonna texture the model, seeing as how it would send the filesize rocketing into the everlasting sky. I will opt for coloring, which will probably look better.

With that picture of the cars, the trees, the people and the streetlight. This model is slowly taking place, I wonder what it would look like a month from now? When it's finished, what purpose will it have? Will it prove that I have too much time on my hands? To answer all these question is, I don't care. Let's not care.

Assume with me. When this model is finished. It will be kick ass.

Please?

After 10/01's "I Fail" post. I stopped caring about this blog (by not posting). Either I'm lazy in writing or I just hate the way Blogger makes you post pictures, One of those two reason. I don't know. Nor care.

Anyways, I started working on the model again. One fine morning I was looking over SketchUp, wondering what the hell I should do, then I saw the LAX model. 2.97 Megabytes of model. I said, "hey, why not start again?" And so I did. I knew damn well the work it needed.

When starting over, I decided I was gonna change a lot of things. Remake a lot of the bulidings and whatnot. I started by rotating the map, then place the misaligned bulidings on top of their respected places (sure it does not align perfectly in Google Earth), then I deleted the entire model of LAX and started anew. Now I'm here.

With this.



Just so you know, a watered down version of the model is now avaliable at the 3D Warehouse.

Check back for more updates.

Seriously.

You know what, this blog is useless.

I didn't make the deadline. I failed. I could not finish the LAX model in two weeks time. It was too much work. Oh, well. I'll still continue making the model, trying to finish it. But now that I look at it, making a 3D replica of LAX in two weeks time was insane. I'm not gonna say it would be impossible, but to me it was. Oh well.

Today was my birthday, and boy was it great. This picture by bigfishcomic (who does a cool comic called Big Fish Comic) totally made my day. I love it. Ah, October, what great things do you have in store?

Recently, I was made admin of Comic Dish. (Before we go any further, let me tell you what Comic Dish is. Comic Dish is a free webcomic host that offers more features than DrunkDuck and SmackJeeves. It's a great service that is always being worked on (it's still in beta.) and Sam is one of the friendliest webadmins around.) Now, back to what I was talking about. I was recently made admin of Comic Dish. Yesterday Sam (admin and owner of Comic Dish) asked me if I wanted to be an admin for ComicDish. I said yes, and well. It's great. I truly believe ComicDish will become a great thing. Go check it out.
