3D Graphics
     Over the years and I guess this would mean a lot of years. I have been interested in 3D graphics. I can't say when I really got interested in it but I am sure it was around 1989. At the time there wasn't a strong market for IBM's and the only other machine that could handle any type of output was the Amiga 1000. I am sure that there were other machines around but they were all outside of my price range. But so it began. My long and tortuous journey that has somewhat gotten easier this last year.

     During this last year, I have been able to overcome some of my modeling problems since I have been working with a great program called Lightwave. I acquired this program from a friend that was fed up with it since he couldn't figure it out. I myself can almost say that I gave up to, but I stuck with it. After buying some books related to this I found out that the true ability to make 3D objects had to come from inside my head. Once I had an idea, I then had to somehow convert it to a somewhat realistic object and then had to make it look real when rendered.

     One of the latest projects that I have been working on was related to Ultima Online. I could have started on some other project but since I was playing a computer game that I liked it made it somehow easier to think of things to make. Most of what you will see below is related to Ultima Online in some fashion. I have recently been thinking of other projects to focus on to push my abilities once again. But as I said this is just a few images of what I have done in the last couple months.

Table that would be best placed in a large castle.
My friends have nicknamed me Spaceman Bob so I made this 3D spaceship from a friends drawing.
I made this after visiting Disneyland and looking at some of the lights in the Indiana Jones ride.
I made this for a company I used to work for. They didn't have a 3D logo so I just made one from a 2D logo that they had.
