How's it going?

Life is kinda funny, until about a month ago I had given up on 3d modeling and hadn't touched it or this blog in like 7 years.  But a couple of friends of mine (whom don't even know each other) both kind of pushed me back on the path at the same time.  I'm not going to go into it right now as it's not really a very interesting story.

Anyway.  I've been hard at work and have a few projects going.

Here are some wip shots for you all, Enjoy.

holy crap! it's still here?!

What is up people, I can't believe this page is still here lol.  Any way YES! I'm back! and will be bringing more Hard Surface Goodness to you all as well as some good Old fashion Written tutorials as well.  C ya later :)

Been awhile...

Been awhile since I posted anything.  Not even sure if anyone really reads these things.  But anyway... :)

I finished my latest tutorial about a month ago.  The Cylon Raider was a smashing hit.  So much so that it was pirated with in a week of being released. At any rate.  Here is a link to the sales page. and an image for you to enjoy.  I'm going to be starting a new project soonish and would like some suggestions ast to what people would like to see.

Hermes gets a face lift?

I had an idea that I would redo Andy Tubb's great concept the "Hermes" So I started out with the engines.
As I have been working on this I have also been recording it for a instructional tutorial on large surface greebleing, For 3d palace...  Enjoy.

Small Details...

I started the fine detail placement on the drive train as well as started to block out the Comm gear.  It's getting close!

more details...

Work continues....

More Detail Work

I forgot to post these the other day... Some shots of the details starting to take shape.  Once I'm done with the admin stuff for palace, I can get back to this.

Work continues...

The first shot is self explanitory, the second shot is how the cockpit looks with the fuel tank attached, the third shot is the details hidden by the fuel tank.

It's a balance issue...

What I did was rotate the drive housing and the power plant around 180 degrees and move the legs forward. Then I had to adjust the height of the cockpit's support to make sure i cleared the legs. Hopefully this should do it.

The cockpit takes shape...

I spent this morning trying to get a shape for the cockpit that I'm happy with...

HEY LOVIE, AND THE REST OF YOU (@#*$&(@*&$#%(*#!!!!!

To the Chicago Bears:

First of all, let me address Mr, Tommie Harris... You sir are a flippin MORON!  If you don't want to play for Chicago, request a trade.  Punching some one in the head just so you don't have to play isn't going to make coaches want to trade for you... so stop being a F***ING MORON! As for the rest of you...
You should be ashamed of yourselves. After that last debocal I'm ashamed to call myself a Bears fan! TWO BLOW OUTS in three weeks?! and its all do to the fact that you have NO FUNDAMENTALS... D! Your not breaking down, not wrapping and not driving through your tackles... YOUR GETTING RUN OVER! Your not going to stop a Pro level player with ARM TACKLES! And where's your gap integrity? O line, you need to block A LOT better, your a JOKE! We can't run the ball, because your fat asses won't get out and block! MOVE YOUR ASSES AND PLAY LIKE YOU WANT TO FRICKING WIN! Receivers, when you see Cutler scramble, either go make a fricking block or GOT OPEN! Forte, even if there are no holes... MAKE ONE, your a strong down hill runner, run people over! Jay, you need to stop holding on to the ball, if it ain't there... THROW IT AWAY!!!! Come on Guys FUNDAMENTALS!!!!! Lovie you are always stressing the Take away... Where are they? Maybe you should start stress the basics like Tackling... I think you High and mighty PROS (that's a fircking joke) have forgotten were you have come from and for whom you actually play...

Feel the power

ok, a little more work on the sentinel, I bashed out the power plant, and the energy coupler to the drive housing.

A fighter Tutorial Takes shape

Here is the basic shape of a fighter I am roughing out for a tutorial project on 3d palace.
Its inspired by the F-302 from Stargate SG1 and the Douglas F-4 Phatom 2.  Will also have a big honkin canon like the A-10 Thunderbolt 2.  Enjoy.

Comm array is in... sort of....

Started the foreward Details, Its a subspace Comm Relay.... yeah, that's it!

Insomnia Strikes Again!

Ok, I suffer from cronic insomnia... So, in order to help quiet my mind down I tend to doodle.  Here is the begginnings of a new doodle... More to come.

A chassis a day...
