I try to update this as often as is possible, but as we all know, time doesnt stand still. :P

So I chose the Universtiy of Bradford to do my studies at, I'm taking Computer Animation and Special Effects, no suprise there.

It's coming to the end of the first term now (Yay! big grin ) and I'd just like to apologise to any regulars for the lack of updates, i think i managed to produce 1 piece of animation i thought worthwhile putting up on here, it's on the videos page, latest vid.

The adaptation to Maya from Max was harder than i expected, but now the result is that I'm more focus...

Yesterday, I got my final Uni offer...

I now have until 4th May to choose a firm choice for where I want to go, and an insurance choice for if I dont meet the criteria for the firm choice,

It's all a bit daunting really, as this is the choices that are gonna influence the next 3 years at least of my life, and further down the line, when getting a job! mad

But hopefully all will be good, and I can make my choices.

University Offers

Just a brief update really as to what I have going on in terms of 3d at the moment...

I've been applying to universities over the past few months for various courses in 3d and animation, and I finally have all but one offer back from them. And by the looks of things, im relatively confident. They all require around C's and D's from me, except my first choice which is a bit higher... But all the same, achieveable with the right effort.

I took my portfol...

Last night as I had my toothbrush in hand, I grabbed the toothpaste which is next to the hot tap, which is on the left, and the cold tap is on the right, and the soap is in the middle, I had in my left hand the tube of toothpaste, and in my right, my toothbrush while I rested my hand on the cold tap ready to rinse the brush before use. When something I didnt realise until I started to brush my teeth happened...

While resting on the cold tap I had not noticed my toothbrush ha...

Hey reader's.
Long time no blog, (or something like that

).

After visiting a prospective university the other weekend and discovering the prominence of Maya there, I'm going to be starting working with that, which means the work on the site may not be as good as I learn the program

I am moving onto a new project, this project is a short animation of a cartoon style dogfight between the flying saucers and the earth jets.

I've already modeled the jet, the saucer, the set (part of it), and some missiles as i did not want to commit myself to the project and then find it too difficult t... Read Full Post »

First of all, let's talk about the Lego project that is taking up most of my 3d time at the moment (which is limited as it is big grin

)

The Lego project is going along nicely, with the bar/pub pretty much finished, except choosing colours and the need for various small ambient objects (glasses, etc...).

Secondly, you may have noticed the new Web Store, Read Full Post »

Hey, sorry, I've not been updating the site as often as I would really have liked to. Life has been pretty hectic and i guess the 3d has had to take a back seat for a while, but - fingers crossed - I can get back to creating and updating, I've just stared working with crowd in Max 8, so maybe a short animation will soon be up.

Also I have decided to add a work in progress page, and possibly feature other peoples work on the site if th... Read Full Post »
