Fixed the shadow box

After triple checking that all the verts were welded I tried one more thing, I re-cut in the original swiftloop that created the window.  That corrected the mysterious shadowbox.  So then I went ahead and reduced the amount of cuts as far as I could while still fixing the issue.
The wall basically just didn't like having a floating window.

Shack Model

I'm currently learning 3DS Max, and am trying to recreate a concept in Cryengine.  So far I've modeled a shack and I'm working on the textures.

Some of my screenshots.  The last three are highlighting technical issues that I haven't solved yet.

Year End Movie Report 2014

I've been keeping track of every movie I watch since 2007 and this year I transferred the data over to a google doc.  I haven't yet done anything with the data, and I used to have a running list of how many times I've watched each individual movie.  At some point I may put the effort into figuring out how to automatically record that with the google doc.  I also might share the actual document at some point.

But for now, here are a couple raw numbers.  (Keep in mind that I studied film in college and would often watch movies as 'work'.  I try to watch as many movies as possible, but the number has significantly dropped since graduating and entering the work force.)

# of feature length movies watched in 2014, including repeats: 140.  Down 5 from last year.

That brings the total to 1313 since 2007.  Is this a prediction that the game Star Wars 1313 will rise from the ashes in 2015?  I hope so.

I've averaged 164 movies per year.
Unfortunately the last movie I watched in 2014 was the horrible mess I, Frankenstein.
