Re-dubbed, Re-edited, Revitalized!!!

Hey guys,

First off, i think its time for me to stop wondering if people are reading/viewing this blog. This week was particularly good in terms of views and i dont think that 1,800 are just random hits (although one could argue that). I have the feeling some of you check back here quite often so here is something i have spent time to “re-produce” just for you guys.

If you listen to the video it will explains its origins, im not going to waste valuable reading space.

I know i stutter and stumble my way through it (like Hugh Grant in some stupid movie) but I hope it is of a high standard and hopefully in the future i will re-re-release a downloadable version.

So for now, enjoy.

Next i will be making/documenting a more valiant effort at anatomy modelling. The last attempt which you can view down the blog was pretty poor. So i have my subjects and i am ready to go. I have at least 5 models i want to do but it might take a while and become a little monotonous so i will post/recompile some of my old posts from a previous blog into this one. they had tips and tricks and just various modelling perspectives that i thought people would enjoy reading.

Houdniks!!!

Dont worry. Next post.

MORE HOUDINI FUR!!!!!

Weird!!

Hey oh,

Apologies as always for not being prompt. I have been…… urghhh busy?

I noticed a weird thing last night when i was looking over my model. I haven’t been in Windows in 3 days. Im not a linux lover or anything but it just prefer the way it works, and how it work with other applications.

Im not gonna go into a big breakdown of why linux is good or bad but its just something i would mention here, considering im not technical.

The only thing i would say is more packages need to be made available for it. I hear Silo 2.1 will be available on Linux. But Mudbox, Zbrush and PS and the big ones i would love to see on a distro of Ubuntu, but i get the feeling it isnt going to happen.

So here is a model i have been working on, on and off. Counting the hours up it up it really is a speed model, just polished and bit. I wanted to make something that i could do a lighting study in the future. there are areas on the model that aren’t perfect. The hair obviously isnt finished, but I dont think im going to put myself through the pain of trying to re-create it. I worked on it for about half an hour last night and was going to post the final image, but i don’t like it . I prefer the version that i have here.

I must give a very honorable mention to Mark Newman the original sculptor who created the piece based of Edgar Allan Poe.

So there it is. See ya soon with more crap

oh and SHOUTOUT to Jason, hey mate. Jason is the second person to post here, the first one was way back when i started this model, but he feels like the first because that was a while ago. So hey ho Jase. Speak to ya soon.

Link dump!

Hey guys,

Sorry things got by me, no model update …. this morning, but I will try my hardest to get it up later tonight as its 1:31am.

So why am i posting.

Well considering i am venturing down a different avenue of 3D, i would imagine this blog would attract a different crowd of people.

So ive added a new catagories to the links sections. Houdniks / Technical Artists / Resources

I have had these links bookmarked for ages but never to round to putting them up. They are decent sites and i have sifted out alot of dead links. I never realized how many i had and how useful and resourceful they are.

This site is now my homepage because it has so many good links now that would take a way to locate in a bookmark folder.

Also taking about the site, i think it might be time to actual have a REAL site, with no restrictions, complete freedom. I will transfer all of the info from here to the new site, no need to worry. In fact talking of that i had another blog that had a few decent posts that i have yet to transfer, so look for a few posts in this month.

I think i am gonna continue this for a few more months and if i am still into this blogging stuff, then why not.

You will not only get the pic but i have a few other things planned.

So im looking forward to it, hopefully I will feel the same 2-3 months from now.

See ya soon

oh and check out some of the new links. Not only in the new sections but the others too.
