OK OK...so usually i'm pretty content right? Thats why I don't write pointless articles on deviant art, I guess its really a function for those who have beef with too much shit to bitch about. Well this time i'm deeply sadened to say that I have joined the ranks of the malcontent. Hence this pointless and utterly indulgent rant.

Ok so i'll begin. I'm bitching about the fact that I believe i have undergone a great misjustice in uni, thats right folks i'm complaining about my grade....for those of you who know me which will be the only people who read this, sooo most of you, i'm sure you will be suprised to read this message because i'm usually so happy go lucky, Que Surrah and all that but this time...this time my friends i am seriously pissed ORF!

Yesterday I recieved my grades back from my tutors for the virtual modeeling unit, a unit where we had to model something from real life in 3ds Max, all good right? Wrong. I chose to do a bust of Nefertiti, even though when upon asking for permission from my tutor whether I could do it he laughed in my face telling me in short "Good Luck." Not to let this discourage me I decided to proceed with this endeavour, unsure myself as to whether i could pull it off but secure in the knowledge that whatever it was i was going to do i would do my best.

Well nine weeks of eye strain, headaches, and finger cramp later, I achieved what I set out to achieve, I did it i made a replica model of the bust of nefertiti, now i'll agree she's not a perfect match, even still, she defies what I thought could be achieved, especially by me who had previously failed several times to model an organic shape in max let alone texture the bugger.

Now...the bug bear, the grade. Well, when viewing the grade standing alone one may think wow thats not a bad grade...and indeed that would be what I was thinking, had i not compared it to every other bugger in my class, who i might add all did either their own fucking camera phone, camera or mp3 player. I'd like to think that the fact I tried to model something organic like eerrrm i don't know COUGH (A FACE) one might think wow thats pretty hard, harder than a box with buttons, hmm i guess thats a bit more advance than all those mobile phones and cameras I gave 69% to. But I guess not, I guess they're just the same. Then maybe I'd think Hmmm now mapping something like erm A FACE might be quite difficult, you know all that unwrapping and stuff, all those photoshop skills, all that digging around on the internet for illusive references, all of which i might add were a fucking different coulour just to make things more difficult, you know i might think wow thats a little harder than projecting an image of a nokia i found on the first page of google images onto the front of a box but then maybe not, maybe thats worth 69% as well.

And then maybe i would think hmmm this render looks like it may have been done using final gather in the attempt to get nice shadows, wow it looks like no one else has tried this, well do you want to know WHY everyone else hasn't tried this, maybe its because no other fucker was bothered to find out...you know what i'd think then? I'd think hmm maybe this is worth a little more than 69% the same grade i gave to people who don't know their arse from thir elbow, the people who spent a quater of the time on the project as you, and the people who asked you for help, had god awful meshes and no will to learn by themselves, maybe thats what I'd think.

But I guess all this slipped the mind of my marker, I guess none of it counts, well you know what? It does count so much so that I was in tears by the end of that day, a level headed and fair individual was reduced to tear because all her effort was in short for nothing!

I may as well have modelled a FUCKING CAMERA PHONE!

The end!
