no, this is not a joke, it is for real. this is my thesis topic :) I'm a masters student in computer graphics at uwaterloo, my general topic is 3D modelling, and my thesis is revolved around improving a modelling method (surface pasting) so you can make a better ferret model. anyways, the reason I'm posting is because I just had to do a presentation on my work (my supervisor is a mean jerk :p). the slides I used have a lot of ferret pictures in it, so you guys might get a kick out of it. it is a technical presentation, but I have managed to put in no equations at all, so it might even be understandable. and if anybody is curious I'll be happy to explain. here is the link to my presentation http://www.cgl.uwaterloo.ca/~ssiu/school/presentations/2001_11_24/slide0.html you'll notice there is a tiny link that says "presetation notes". if you click on that, it'll have a point form thing of what I intended to talk about in each slide, which may help if you read it together with the slide.. if you don't want to flip through the whole set, at least check out slide 16, and slide 17, which is the response to 16. my presentation was yesterday, my supervisor thought I kind of suck on the background part, but it wasn't bad once I started about my own work, and he's pretty impressed with how I demonstrated some points with Dief, who was helping me out. // *********************************************** // Selina, Birch, Dief, Sprite, Storm, Sand & Bear // http://www.cgl.uwaterloo.ca/~ssiu [Posted in FML issue 3613]
