Crane Building!

I went to sleep last night with a terrible headache that mersyndol, panadol and morphine wouldn't touch. I woke up with the shadow of that incredibly evil headache still haunting me, and therefore was forced to sleep most of the day away! I am now awake, though, and I am hard at work!

So, what am I doing right now... 

I am researching and planning how to build a crane!

No, not the bird type, the machinery lifty type!

I'm not crazy, it's all in the name of art! It is part of my assignment for the 3D art and animation course I am doing through AIE :) 

Although it is less exciting, I am not actually building the crane in real life, either. Instead, I have to make it in 3DsMax (some very fancy 3D modelling, animation and rendering software), and save and send the file to my teachers so that my work can be graded (along with the rest of my little factory!)

You may have seen my crusher and furnace that I made this week - the crane is to go along with those two machines, and a conveyor belt (when I manage to get the conveyor belt tutorial working! Emails have been sent!)

Anywayz, now you know what I am doing!
