It is a relationship that can only go as far as both sides are willing to take it. In many ways the relationship relays on both to give everything they got, in order to succeed.

Have you seen the Lemon-Lime Gatorade? What do you call it? Personally, I think it is yellow but is that what your classmates think? This poll will end the controversy about the color of the lemon-lime Gatorade. Background Earlier this week, Seniors all across the courtyard were asking each other one simple question: "What color is the lemon-lime Gatorade?" Everyone was sure...
The majority of 3D software out today, from Disney’s modeling tools (Maya) to any popular game engine (Unreal/Unity/Crysis) or engineering CAD (SolidWorks, AutoCAD) use programming libraries that define low-level tasks to simplify and hasten the development workflow. Almost all 3D software can be expected to do low-level tasks such as draw a 3D model in 2S space, texture an oblique...

Many storylines followed the NFL into Superbowl XLVII. The long rebuilding San Francisco 49ers had finally found their groove after the decades of ineptitude following their...
Previously, I showcased my working versions of my two characters to see if anyone was interested in the modeling/rigging/skinning workflow, and I saw enough interest to justify another article. I intentionally left out sculpting, complex character design, and animation, which I will cover here. (I will still be exclusively using free, open source, or student licensed software. The staples are...
I think this game has become too much of a trend and meme to ignore. While Fortnite: Battle Royale has only been out for a few months, it has taken Jesuit Dallas by storm. Everywhere I go, I hear people talking about Fortnite, watching Fortnite videos, criticizing Fortnite, and even playing Fortnite through school and during free periods. It’s...
