It has been such a crappy weekend. I think I have reached a new level of frustration with my school work. But alas, I have produced this lovely lighting study for all to experience and revere (give it a few seconds to download before it will work properly). The reason the weekend has been so awful is because I have been forced to work in SketchUp to do this shadow/lighting study, and in case you were not aware, SketchUp is a 3D modeling program that is the spawn of Satan! I think it was designed to be “simple” but in an effort to dumb it down, the programmers put a thousand little quirks in it that make me want to kill something every time I use it. The interface is awful. They have all these silly looking icons that you have to click on (NO SHORTCUTS!!!) to use them. Granted, it gets the job done, but in the most awful, round-about way. Enough complaining though. Chances are, if you know me you have already heard me whine about it this weekend in person (my personal apologies to Steven)!
