Hi!
Hey, how's it going?
Good. Do you like math? Would that be your superpower?
Surprisingly kind of. I really like the mathematical thinking and process Numbers however suck!
Oh cool!
My secret power would be animation I love making computer animated stuff
Neat! Do you draw then?
A little. I find it fun, but not that great at it. I'm more of the computer generated graphics that you see in Pixar and other companies. I just really like the 3d stuff
OK, that makes sense I'm in a software class for engineers right now and the graphics are really hard to get right sometimes
I think it would be really cool to end up as a vfx artist. What would be your superpower
Especially 3d My super power is flying rc planes I'm not exceptionally great at it, like you, but I enjoy it
Oh that's my favorite. I actually do better with 3d than 2d. I just have a hard time imagining a flat world Flying rc planes is super cool
Hahaha, that's true Yeah, I like it
Do you do drones as all?
Yep Both fixed wing and copters
Do you have a phantom
No, but I do have a mavic Do you like drones?
Oh that's cool too! Is it the one that follows you? I absolutely love drones
Yeah, it has a mode where it can. Do you fly at all? Slash, do you have any?
I have a phantom 2 with a fpv setup and absolutely love it DJI really does well with their drones
Cool! I have a little cheap FVP drone, and it is way fun. It's small enough to fly indoors So that's fun Yeah, DJI is definately leading the development in drones
Ya, that is really cool is it one of those pocket drones? I have one of those and it is really fun to zip around
It is a little bigger than the pocket ones that are like 20 bucks on amazon But yeah, same idea
That's cool!
What is a vfx artist?
It's big enough to make it more scary for roommates zipping around them but small enough to be indoors
Right
A vfx artist is what you see in Transformers, and Star Wars when there is computer generated images, mixed with reality
Got it So do the to the human visual stuff Like the hulk or something Or maybe orks are better
ya, that would be really cool. VFX is pretty broad. Its anything that is computer generated in real life film. So anything like the hulk to even buildings that aren't there in the real footage
Cool!
Orks are definitely computer generated
Yeah, that would be awesome
That would be really cool to be able to create something like that
So, I currently am interested in simulating drones and have been talking to the people who run the Holodeck project here at BYU. Do you know anything about that?
I'll be busy for a quick second but if you want to hold on for a few minutes I'll be back
OK that's fine So I got to go pretty soon here I have a class that is starting
Hey I'm back. Sorry about that my boss needed me for a secobd Second
