Rigger for life?

Went through an important interview with Ahmad and Yitting today.

Well, yea, like what the title says, they say I'm pretty analytical and systematic in one way or another, and that i fit in as a rigger. Ahmad mentioned that riggers are the unsung heroes behind the production pipeline, and that without them, the animator will never be able to do the job well.

Riggers are the bridge between the animator and the character itself.

Wow.

Not that I'm inspired or anything, but I have this sudden surge of respect for riggers. Do I walk down the path as a rigger?

Mr Ahmad actually told me to put more time on my MTR than my 3DAF lmao. Its kinda weird for me, cause I dun really wanna tilt the level of importance to one module particularly as of now, I wanna do good in both.

And I'm quite saddened that I got B for both DLR and 3DAF. To be honest, I'm not too surprised about it, DLR has the occlusion screwing up my overall image, and 3DAF wasnt impressive in the very least. Its at the same time demoralising but also acted as a huge wake up call for me.

Whats causing my grades to slump so badly? Was it STARs? Was it EXCO? I have no idea. I need to find out why.

I'm currently trying to rig my character once again, but apparently, it aint working out too well. Apparently, I can't skin my character using my mac, which kinda sucks =/

Oh well, lets get back to work. Perhaps, just perhaps....

...Rigging is my destiny.
