Day 8

Today is week 2 of the SESI attachment program. We came to the office, and started working on our project previs so that it could be shown sometime soon. I didn't took long to finish my work though. I spend the rest of the time looking through odforce for files and also sidefx.com. I found many ripple files but none of them seems to apply to me. But anyway, some screenshots,

Ari mentioned on Friday that he will be coming in tomorrow. Hopefully I could finish the pre-vis compilation tonight and show it to him. Oh gosh, I need to clean up my photos from Downtown also, in case he wants to see.
