General
For all of you that don't know. I've done an internship at a company called PLUS Reclame (Commercials) for a month. They said I'd be doing design there, designing advertisements, and helping to build the signs themselves. Although the latter part of the job didn't really spike my interest, I figured it'd be nice to not do the same thing for 8 hours a day, and agreed.
Sadly, the only thing I did there, was build signs, wash cars, wash the shop, clean, swipe the floor, clean the kitchen, and knock dirt and mud out of pipes. After a month of torture, I decided to call it quits, and left.
But now, I finally have found a new internship, and fast enough for my college to let it slide, and not make me catch up the lost weeks in my summer holiday, which I couldn't even do in the first place due to my mate visiting pretty much all of my vacation weeks.
I had my solicitation meeting Tuesday morning, and from what he told me over the phone the same day, I was very friendly, very motivated, had a quick tongue, and knew my way around 3D design and techniques.
So, he decided to give me the test-case. Today, I was sent an email, containing a 3D model of a on-shore oil rig. It had over 80.000 polygons (render-able surfaces) which I needed to clean, and bring down to less then 10.000. He said it would take me around 4 hours.
One hour later.
7.882 polygons, and I was done. I just sent him the file, and a description of the things I changed. I feel fantastic about my work, and I'm quite sure I'll get the job, which means I can start on Monday.
Little about the company, it's called 4Sight, and it does 3D visualizations of building projects. (The artist-impression 3D renders often seen on build-signs.)
tl;dr GOOD TIMES.
