Nothingness(dark) turns into something with Thought(light)

It's interesting that us, humans, take chaos (around us) and turn it into a discipline (or a science). Taking something that seems extremely random, invisible (to the eye) with unfathomable logic and turn it into something usable, and not only usable but something that will push our technologies even further.

- Learned about UE4's Level Sequence (Matinee turned into Legacy)
- Watched "Creating Skin Subsurface Materials In Unreal Engine 4 Tutorial Basics" from HiredGun Games
- Customized his ^ ideas of the shader to fit my needs
- Discovered a problem, upon importing a 3ds Max 2015 scene into 3ds Max 2017, then exporting from 2017 the scene as an .fbx back into 2015, Normal/Smoothing Group issue arises. It looks fine in viewport but in UE4/Marmoset it looks busted.
- To solve the issue one can export the geo from 2015 as an .obj, then re-import it, and replace the mesh. Then upon exporting as an .fbx from 2015, the normal groups should look fine.

recapitulation

I'm going to try to post everyday, almost as a meditative way of grounding the days. Trying to express, even in point form, the activities of the day. So, I'd be able to look back and see 'time'. Unlike now, when days blur into years.

There is a difference between an AI way of thinking vs. Human's stored memory (HSM) (i.e. Dixie Flatline)

On one of the many Vancouver's rainy days, I was walking past a scene, of two construction workers wearing long yellow rain coats surrounded by the lush green forestry of the quite suburbs. For my acute perception and foggy glasses I saw the two men tape of an area, go down a manhole and recover an unexplainable object.

I guess for time of great importance, they managed to quickly light a small propane fueled flame around the deep purple object. Strange smell filled the air as they've began to light some twigs on fire.

A dance began, slow at first, then picking up pace, they danced to an insane beat of a drum unheard. Infusion of break dance and gymnastics, operating smoothly within the wet conditions.
For a second, I was convinced that the strange object started to pulse with light from within. The men's faces covered in protective masks began to change shape; the clothes felt like they started to infuse with their skin.

My thoughts filled with madness, and I couldn't take seeing the sight much longer. Plus, I was late to work.
