So it begins.


Welcome!

This is the first post in this blog of which I hope will last more than 2 years - So I can cover my progress throughout my next course ( BTEC National Diploma ), So I can see how I've improved and obtain valuable feedback from other artists and college friends.

Each day or every few days I'll post a new model or texture I've been working on - what I've been up to in my world ETC.

So heres the first one.

I don't know where I got inspiration for this.. Just know that I was bored, Very bored!

You guessed it, of all things - It's a bollard.

Heres the render :




I used a 512x512 for the texture, Photoshop CS3.




Normal/Bump was 512x512.

Hey Sam, your first officially posted model huh! You should post up some of your older work, they're really impressive man.

In a few years time you're going to be 'up there', you're a professional on the rise man, keep doing your best ;)

Thanks man it's always good to get some motivation :D

My next model is really coming along well and I'll post it up later today when I've done the textures.

Hey thanks for dropping by!

I'm currently at college starting to study a BTEC National Diploma in Media and Animation which is a drawing/modeling/video editing course.

It gets me the qualification to go to a university of my choice, at the moment I am looking towards Bournemouth as they have a dedicated 3D modeling course there which is really what I want to do - of course I haven't ruled out other options!
