It’s been a while since i’ve posted.  I was quite busy at work, but it’s settled down a bit now, so that’s good.  Anyway, next on my list has been to learn a bit of sculpting.  I demo’d both zbrush and mudbox. They both have their pros and cons, but i’ve decided to go with zbrush for the time being.  Here’s my first quick sketch i did.  With time and more experience i hope to create some characters of amazing quality

Not my best effort so far.  My work schedule has been brutal lately and i had minimal time to work on my pistol model and try to finish it before April so i could move on with my personal schedule.  Still, i’m happy with what i’ve been learning about modeling and i’m eager to move on to the next stage.  I’ve started watching some zbrush vidoes to get familiar with the interface.  I’ve done this before and always get turned off by it, but I will try my best this month to keep at it.  I’ll keep you posted on my progress.

Minor update to the my socom WIP.  I’ve had lots of OT this month and next month will be worse.  Still hope to finish this soon and move on to some character work.  Maybe even start sharing my progress for a short film idea i want to do.

Here’s my latest WIP. An HK .45 socom pistol.  I’m having a hard time finding the time to work on this one with crunch mode going on, but i’m going to make an effort to see it through before jumping to the assignment which will be character based.  More to come.

Continuing with my assignments, next on my list was something i hope to use later on in a compositing exercise i want to do; a lamp post.  I’m starting to get a better understanding of poly modeling.  I want to start doing some test renders of these models, but for now i’ll keep working on my training list.

So in an effort to become a more well rounded 3d artist/generalist, i’ve decided to broaden my skills from just animation. I have a long list of assignments and projects i will be tackling and will post my progress here. 1st project, modeling a tire and rim. I’d like to eventually model the rest of the vehicle. That’s later on the list

Hello All. I’ve decided to give blogging another go.  Hopefully it will help me keep my site up to date.  More to come so stay tuned

God Bless
