Here are a couple Screen shots of my new project that I am trying to learn. This will get good.... Promise. Stay Tuned.

One more update for you. I did this last night but didn't post it.
The neat thing about this tutorial is it teaches me how to look at an image in the background and then create the model around it by interpreting what shapes I need to create. Trust me. This will just get better and better.

Here are some other updates... Going well and I am learning things about geometry in Lightwave, that I can surely apply to some of the things I have been thinking about for a while.
Adding the Canopy, not much here but there will be more updates today.

Here is a little update. Smoothed some edges on the Canopy section. Made a simple render... so here ya go.

Here is the latest additions to the Project Viper Model I am working on. I am now working on the Engine Section. I have 12 more sections to go through before they are done so don't worry if it looks bad right now.


OMG... There is nothing better than to wake up in one giant sweat puddle on your bed... Especially when you fell asleep ontop of the sheets.... This was me at 2am... I thought it was some cruel joke, but nope... The fan was on in the house, just the AC compressor outside wasn't on. :( Soooooo.... I layed, sweat some more flopped over....sweat some more. Repeat this process for another 3 hours and I have been up since 5am, sweating... You see the computer room which has been nicknamed NASA Control center is 88 degrees... Weeeeeeeeee......
Needless to say, I have already sent an email to the owners of the house. I just pray that they aren't on vacation so we can get the AC back online.
Going to was up a little and then go to work...
While I am confused as to why the landlord hasn't answered my emails for HELP..... I guess they have to be on vacation or something. I have now sent about four emails to them explaining that we have no AC in the house and it is 90degrees inside the house. Hopefully someone will call the AC Guy today. If not I am going to sleep at work tonight.
Either that or a cold front has moved into the house. From the temperature markers in the house it sure looks like someone fixed the thing. YES... No more sweating like a pig.
Ok here is a small update. Did this today while I was waiting for the Football Team to finish in a room I needed to work in.
Not much of an update. Just added some detail to parts of the back engine. Will be adding more this week. Maybe even tomorrow.

Come one Come all... You green little aliens...
Thinking about Games people buy and play all the time... I think about that. Something like being able to complete something that you don't know what to expect. Your leveling and gaining experience but not knowing for sure what is coming at you on the next level. Then when you complete it you gain a satisfaction of completion, that you made it. Success. :)
I guess that is why I like 3D Modeling. I start at it not knowing how to complete it or how it is going to look in the final stages. I learn things and gain a satisfaction of completion, that I created something. Success. :)
The same holds true for Photoshop. Experiment with the thoughts in my head to make something new.
Now I do like Online games, or at least some of them, because the Final goal is never there. The only games I don't like are the ones where you have to grind out the same tasks over and over, then when reaching the next level you find out that you just have to grind out more of the same stuff. Boring.
Oh well.. Just a random thought of the day.
