@coolweather! I think my son needs to talk with your D! He would like to piece things together like that, I bet. He wants to do more modeling. In fact, he was lamenting the fact that he couldn’t take the third semester of animation at the cc. This is the description:
3D Animation III: Realism, Physics, and Particle Systems This course is an advanced study in realistic effects and physics systems for 3D modeling, game development and animation. Emphasis is placed on the use of advanced particle systems, physics engines and lighting to create photorealistic scenes and effects.
Would surely be nice if he did go to Penn and take a gap year, if he could take this class and continue to work on several projects (medical video game and programming for his insulin pump in Java) he has going.
He did just say to me that Penn seems to be his best option. But now he needs to communicate with the school.
Nothing’s a done deal until May 1st, and a lot can change.
