Sun For Everyone!

My prayers have been answered. Clouds have gone away and now it's very HOT :)

I've been going through the built in 3D Max tutorials, I'm picking it up pretty fast. And, gasp!, I've only used 1 plugin so far and it's just a convenience plugin too. So far, the grass really is greener

My Summary of Vancouver's Current "Summer" Conditions

"Let's Just Be Friends"

I've decided to end my relationship with Maya. It's been a good run but I find that the more I use it, the more I find it totally lacking in the modeling department. I'm going to start learning 3D Max, I think I should be able to pick it up faster than if I was learning from scratch. If my future employer uses Maya, it'll be easy to pick it back up, so in the meantime we'll just be "friends".

Another Rock

Well, this is suppose to be a road barrier but it just turned out into another rock.

General Update

Bit the bullet and purchased Eat3d.com's "Old Pillar" tutorial DVD. Was a little reluctant because it was only listed as 3 hours long (I'm a stingy man) but actually all the techniques shown was fantastic. Not to mention the modeling, Mudbox and texture workflow was great to watch. My only gripe was that it's done in Max3D, and although I can follow pretty well with Maya, I'm finding that the grass may be greener with Max3D, lol. Anyways, I've been going through it so that's what I've been doing lately.

On a side, note.. Vancouver's weather sure sucks big time. Feels more like November than Summer.. all cloudy and crap

More Rocks

Just some more rocks

Mushy Rocks

Yup, I'm still here. I went over a Gears of War style rock tutorial today, did it kind of quick, not the greatest but it was a learning exercise.
