Study Log 5/3/2024

The entire day has been cloudy but no signs of raining. I started the day fairly late and thus the study session ended up being late as well. Hopefully the next one can be done in a more timely manner. I think i may need to readjust some of the focus times of some of the activities as they weren't very effective the longer they run.

Python

I finally learned what i did wrong while using string methods. I forgot that they were used as a function. Also learned that lists can be concatenated, strings can be compared with each other (using the < > symbols precisely). VSCodium output window is very annoying to use as I was unable to make use of the user input module of Python. Next time I'll be running the code through the terminal instead of the output window.

Godot

Decided to pick a tutorial for Godot 2.1 even when I'm using Godot 1.1 because the ones available for that version are not very easy to understand. I got a better feel on how to play around with get_pos() and set_pos(). Also learned that I can just use PI for rotation.

Blender

Finally finished the night monster model and textured it. Next I'll be doing the street and lamp post

Read

Got to read to the point of making a marketing program table. Most of the materials tought uses traditional marketing methods

Write

Managed to write 1 chapter of Nada's School Days, next I'll be working on adding the scenes and dialogues

Music Comp

Started learning music composition again, got to learn the more fundametal aspects such as the psychology side of music, the structure of music (they called it music discourse) and the use of art principles in music.

Digital Marketing

Relearning the materials that were posted a while ago. Going back to the basics of what is marketing, the marketing mix and the promotion mix

Pixel Art

Decided to work on the shell girl sketch and managed to block out the silhouette of the body as well as sections of the hair. Next I'll be working on rendering the hair and skin

Vector Art

Decided to restart studying Enve Animation software as I wasn't able to figure out how to apply masking to objects. In the next study session I'll be following along a tutorial that has set process and results so i can have a better feel of the software
