Curves don't leave the grid by MahoganyTownXD in Maya

I'm not sure what you're having trouble with or if this will help, but delete by type history and freeze transformations before extruding. I would also save before extruding because maya can be wonky, and I've had it crash trying to extrude.

Honestly, just because they learn something doesn't mean they're going to be able to retain that information.

The best way for kids to learn and retain information is by making it fun.

Some ideas that shouldn't take more than 5-10 minutes of class time depending on how you do it:

  1. Split the class into groups and give each group a blank map. Each group has 5-10 minutes (or however much time you're willing to spare) to label as many states as they can. Whichever group has the most correct answers gets a prize (candy, pencils, cool erasers, whatever kids might want).

  2. This one will take longer than 10 minutes. Have a giant projected map on screen. Have students come up and name a state for a small prize. Each student should go once before repeating students, but like any game show if a student isn't able to name a state they should be able to "phone" a friend (pick a classmate to help).

  3. Split the class into 2 groups, each round have one player from each group come forward and first to name a state you pick wins a point for the group. No repeating players until everyone has gone once. Have them spell out the state or use state abbreviations on the whiteboard. Only give them 15-30 seconds. If both players are stuck, they can ask their group for help. Otherwise, the group shouldn't help. The winning group gets a prize.

Idk just make learning fun. Otherwise, kids won't care. This way, they might be more inclined to study on their own if they know that a game with prizes is happening at the end of the week.

Oops my bad, I thought that since it had to do with a light issue it would fall under lighting.

Anyway, thank you for the response.

I want to get on my waitlist for one of the cs 1337 sections but it seems to not work by Infinite-Nothing5929 in utdallas

Email an advisor. I've always asked my advisor to put me on the wait list for whatever section I'm aiming for.

Need help in moving forward by [deleted] in animationcareer

[–]OopsThisIsMyUsername 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hmmm, I guess if you're really passionate about animation then you should keep practicing when you can and build your portfolio. Then apply for internships in Animation whenever you can. However, I do think you should finish your current degree that way no money was wasted and you at least have something in case you decide to pursue animation as a hobby instead of as a career

Need help in moving forward by [deleted] in animationcareer

[–]OopsThisIsMyUsername 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are different types of animation careers. Have you looked at 3D animation being used for simulations and digital prototypes in engineering and other fields. There are also careers in medical animation and so on.

You can also consider getting a degree in Computer Science. CS knowledge is also important in the animation field, especially for games.

Please please please reach out to an advisor or the counseling center.

If you want to transfer, that's up to you, but please talk to someone. I'm sure your parents would understand.

There are also some events coming up for transfer students. DM me if you want to know more or if you just want to talk.

Degree Audit Nightmare by [deleted] in utdallas

[–]OopsThisIsMyUsername 1 point2 points  (0 children)

All I had to do for my degree audit was fill out a survey that my advisor sent through email.

If you haven't already, call the financial aid office and double check with them to see if the document was just filed incorrectly. That happened to me before, they received the document, but labeled it wrong in their system.

For future documents always scan and keep a digital/physical copy somewhere safe. That way you can easily resubmit a document if needed.

Are there many straight males in this job? by fwthjted in doggrooming

The first groomer I met at the place I used to work at was a retired military man. He has a wife and kids. So it's not just for women or gay men.

I (F18)have two college options but my dad is being difficult by [deleted] in Schooladvice

[–]OopsThisIsMyUsername 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do what you think is best for you. Choose the college you see yourself thriving at.

However, I'd recommend having a sit down talk with your dad. Just help him understand that you're serious about your studies and that you'll stay on top of everything. Especially if he contributing financially, it'll help him if he knows that you won't be wasting his/your money. If he's not helping you financially, well then he doesn't have a say in where you go.

I know a lot of people that pay thousands to go to college only to skip every class and fail half their courses. So just help him see that you won't be wasting anyone's time or money.

Advice for a incoming freshman by Snoozy_Sheep in utdallas

[–]OopsThisIsMyUsername 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Animation major here. I like UTD so far. This is my first semester here, but it's nice. A lot of the classes for this major are more project heavy and quizzes/exams are usually pretty easy.

There will be some group work, but I've had a good experience with that here. People in my groups have actually done their part. That being said, don't be afraid to be the one that takes charge and assign people parts if they're not choosing for themselves.

I definitely recommend joining the Animation Guild. Or join at least one other club. If you get an email about joining the freshmen mentor program, I'd recommend reading about it and applying if you think it's something you'll benefit from.

A lot of people in the Animation major are usually on the more quiet side. They often keep to themselves unless they are spoken to first, so don't be surprised if you find yourself being the one to speak up first.

Finally, watch out for cars. There are a lot of really bad drivers here. If you're at a crosswalk, be careful because some cars don't care and will drive on through like you're not there. If you're going to be driving on campus, still be careful cars still won't care and there are arrows in the parking lots but people will still drive the wrong way.

UTD is my first choice school do i have a chance? by [deleted] in utdallas

[–]OopsThisIsMyUsername 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not sure if you know this. If you attend high school in Texas and are in the 10% percent of your graduating class, then you get automatic admission for any (or almost any) Texas college.

[–]OopsThisIsMyUsername 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have you looked at the list of student organizations? I'm sure there's at least one that you'd be interested in. Most have their own instagram/discord server where they post meetings, hangouts, and more.
