:wave: Hello watcheres and guests! Thanks for stopping by and enjoy your stay ;p

Well now...

First of all for those waiting on the video tutorial, one word: sorry ^^; It's coming most probably tomorrow I'm compressing it now, around 1h 20min of around 800x500 video to around 100mb which I thought was reasonable. What is not so reasonable is Camtasia going bitchy on me, it rendered up to 70% in 2 hours, and its taken another 2 hours to get from 70% to 76%. The tutorial is not nearly as informative as I wanted it to be but in the world of 3D only so much you can cover in an hour but hopefully it'll provide some help and insight into the way I do things, whats good and bad about it you can decide for yourself :P

Ok moving on, I've decided to join the hundreds of people doing the 100 themes challenge, reason being I want to improve my drawing skills. There was a time, before I got distracted by making emoticons and then 3D, when I was learning to draw and getting slightly better at it. On a scale to 10 I consider myself a 1.5 at drawing so I'm hoping to get to a 3 after 100 tries :D. The most challenging part will be seeing how long I can stick to this plan but ultimately if I want a career in 3D or any CG area it will be very benificial!

Friend Testimonial: "Nick can never resist innuendo and making people uncomfortable..."

Woohoo checkout my poll! nickeatworld.deviantart.com/jo… It's for the lengthy (im thinkin at least 30 mins) video tutorial I have planned to make next week - it's gonna be awesome! Just what I need to procrastinate for my boring finance exams lol

In other news, it's a stressful time of the year, and life in general you know when you have to decide what you wanna do for the rest of it... I'm graduating soon in finance and IT and applying for graduate jobs I pray I don't get because I decided if my crappy marks don't get me a graduate job I will pursue my love interest Maya and enroll in the recently implemented postgraduate 3D Animation course at UTS. When torn between reason and passion I'm usually one to gravitate towards the latter...

Either way I have a feeling I'll end up working at a supermarket or retail outlet or escort service for the rest of my life... and that's saying something coz I'm usually a very optimistic person ^^;

UPDATE: POLL CLOSED!!! Votes are pretty close thanks to all the people interested... I think I'm gonna go with a small project from start to finish, the votes we're too spread to focus on one area really so hopefully this way I can cover something useful or interesting for everyone! I'll start brainstorming now and begin the project tomorrow probably.

OOPS I thought it would close the poll or something but I deleted it completely :( From memory the results were something like: 6 for modelling, 6 for project, 5 for rendering and lighting, 4 texturing something along those lines so yeh

Disclaimer: Nick takes no responsibility for any physical or emotional trauma his poll may have caused.

Journal.gifDoes this make me a 'Journalist'???
So I decided finally to make use of this coolness that is CSS in my journal, given I was too lazy to try and figure out how to do it on my own but seriously, why would you when theres such awesome styles out there already! This one is by the awesome 33xiT such a pimp he is for making this. I never wanted to add the CSS to my journal coz my front page would look more like myspace but with this awesome journal style it all blends in! how suhweet!

I have way too many WIPs for my 3d shit i reeli need to pull it together and finish them off now that I have some more free time on my hands so I decided to compile a to do list... OF DOOM!

NICK'S TO-DO LIST OF DOOM
1. Finish indoor kitchen arch-viz style scene - 50%
2. Finish the awesome Gurren Lagann 3d - 20%
3. Re-rig Milo (this is a big one) - 10%
4. Finish the D600 piccie - 50%
5. Finish Dr. Zoidberg! - 10%
6. Finish Self Portrait - 60%


I think it's most important that I stay focused and not start new projects until I get those done. Having said that if something interesting arises...
Thumb.gifWowzerz!!!



Self.gifOMG whos this genius!

Hot stuff!

2 min read
Nick's Lessons from Experience #37 - If something comes out of the oven it's generally hot... Hot tends to react with your fingertips causing irritating blistering and makes your soft fingertips feel like sandpaper when you touch yourself. A side effect of all this is a sudden overflow of stimulating impulses sent from your fingers to the pain receptors somewhere in the kidneys, or the heart, or the brain depending on what species you are.

A less pressing matter I've been thinking about, I've been very fortunate these past few months in my quest to learn 3D which has definitely contributed to my obsession with it. I've had plenty of time and resources made available and support from people on and off the net. I might not be very pro but I have played with most aspects of 3D particularly in Maya and I don't plan to stop learning anytime soon. Helping people has always been a good way to learn things and stay motivated so I'd gladly help out any beginners who need a push in the right direction. I visit Deviant Art a few times a day usually so feel free to note/email/comment or something if you have a problem - or if you just want to get to know more people doing 3D - or if you think my work is shit or awesome or somewhere in between (shawsome?).

A great online resource right here on DA is a club I belong to "3D-Asuarus" which has a chatroom chat.deviantart.com/chat/HomeO… full of pro's and not so pro's discussing 3D stuff (usually hehe)
