Hey it's a new semester and that means a new session of UCBUGG!
Now anyone who's looked into ucbugg before should notice that the location & time are different than in some previous semesters by just a bit- so don't get confused! There will be a few facilitators around to answer questions TODAY January 24th in room 310 at around 5:00, but the FIRST OFFICIAL MEETING is next week on Thursday, January 31st. We hope to see you there!
Some more of Gary's awesome tutorials are now linked up on the tutorials page!
For anyone who missed it in class, Gary's tutorial dump is at http://www.ocf.berkeley.edu/~gwu/tutorials/
Also, Daniel will be holding informal office hours every week from now on.
Everyone in ucbugg can get keycard access to the Mac lab by turning in a form at the CS office (to your right when you walk in the 3rd floor entrance). The door will be propped open- feel free to drop by and bring your questions!
It's finally done! If you were on the waiting list to get in GO CHECK YOUR BEARFACTS RIGHT THIS SECOND! If for some reason you love UCBUGG and aren't enrolled then email the class email ASAP at ucbugg2007@gmail.com. For everyone else: congratulations! Now the work really begins...bwahahaha...
Actually the assignment due Thursday shouldn't be too much of a strain: just model SOMETHING in Maya and send it to us. Just in case you're feeling ambitious though while waiting for the intro to animation class this week there are a bunch of random TUTORIALS just added to this site. Go check them out and remember to always let us know if you have comments or suggestions.
Finally, next week you'll be getting into your final project groups. Bring good ideas, a heart filled with UCBUGG passion, and excitement about planning your awesome animation short with your teammates.
So as anyone interested in UCBUGG probably noticed, there's a bit of scheduling confusion this semester surrounding the class. Our meetings will be held in 320 Soda Hall, rather than 310 as this site said originally. The decal.org site incorrectly said our first meeting was at 7:30...I think the fix went through on the same day as our meeting. =(
Thanks to everyone who managed to show up anyway (almost a full classroom) and we promise to make things WAY clearer in the future. In the meantime though, if you didn't make it to the meeting we explained a bit about UCBUGG and asked anyone interested to send the class email a message saying why you'd like to be a part of it. This will be due in TWO weeks 'cause of the mix-up, so take your time. Next week things will be on a normal schedule (Thursday @ 5:30 in 320 Soda) and we hope to see you all then!
After a facilitator meeting that rivaled the first constitutional convention in flaring tempers and orational skill (...maybe), everything is ready for this year's UCBUGG class! Information for the first meeting is below, and can also be found on the class page.
This will be more of an info-session than a full meeting, and no doubt we'll be done early. In the past it's been pretty crowded so get there early if you can, and make sure to sign in. Don't worry about enrolling in the class- everyone who gets in will get a CEC code to enroll with anytime in the semester they want!
Unlike some classes at Berkeley, checking this site won't keep you up-to-date on everything related to the Decal- we want you in class and we send students email! We'll be posting some notes, tutorials and whatever else seems interesting to us on here, however, so be sure to check back occassionally.
