"Good" is the enemy of "Perfect"

It's a mantra I keep repeating to myself and it is VERY hard to follow. I like things that work. I like things that look good. I don't like slapping something together with zap straps and call it done. When it comes to getting things done, especially for our upcoming milestone, you have to.

I've been working on making a water mover that you can walk into as Foamzilla and will drain as you absorb it. There's actually 2-3 different types of water sources we have planned. This one just happens to be the hardest, so we are starting here first. While making it isn't super hard, giving it the background coding so you can place them easier later, not to mention putting on a nice looking fluidsurface isn't super easy.

I think I have it down, but it's 11pm and if I have any hope of coming in early tomorrow I really should head home and get some sleep. Johan has gotten some first pass models back from our VFS 3D collaberaters. Looks good. I'll get permission from the modeller first, then post a pic of it tomorrow. I keep meaning to post a picture of our workspace but I keep forgetting to ask Johan about the pics.

Until tomorrow.
