... Maybe not the scores of things I set out to do, but still. For instance, I did not investigate the Maya interface. In fact, I took one look at it and closed the window. I did watch a lot of Star Trek. Naturally, I wanted to model my own space ship, but in blender, not Maya. Then I figured out that I could attach key commands to the ship and fly it around the game engine! So cool. Then I strapped on a torpedo launch command and a spot light and BAM, video game (very modest, barely functional video game, mind you). But what is a ship without an environment to fly in or baddies to shoot? Don't have much on the environment end, but I did make a drone type guy (or glorified turret) to fly around and chase after my poor shuttle. AND he explodes when the torpedoes hit him.
What will I do with this, you ask? Nothing. Go back to school and do real things, that's what. Whet my appetite for 3D animation though, so that's good.
